Minutes - Plan commissio~ Page 4 June 25, 1986 . using the house for the first half day would be from two to five years old. Older children, four and five years old, would use the house for the full day. Ms. Schuman asked about the schools' future plans to expand. Ms. Hummel stated that the church planned to add to the existing building to provide a gym and four classrooms within the church structure; in the meantime, the church thought that use of the house on Anna would be conducive to the short-term needs of the school. Mr. Rice asked what the operating hours of the school were. Ms. Hummel replied that the school was open from 8:30 a.m.- 3 p.m. Some of the students were dropped off earlier and some students needed to stay later, but most students were picked up at 4:30 p.m. Mr. Rice asked members of the audience if they had ever been disturbed by noise from children from the school. Ms. Schneider replied that she had never been disturbed by noise and that most of her neighbors worked during the day. Ms. Mary Petelman of 1410 Anna Avenue asked Ms. Hummel if the staff of the school would also use the church lot for parking. Ms. Hummel replied that indeed they would. Mr. Rice asked about the buffering provided along the northern yard of 1417 Anna Avenue for the protection of the three homes to the north. Ms. Hummel replied that there was a chain link fence surrounding the backyard and there were shrubs along the northern property line. Mr. Rice moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the church's application for a conditional use permit subject to the following conditions: 1. The church and school staff should direct the parents not to park on Anna Avenue and to avoid using Anna Avenue for ingress and egress to the school property. Mr. Washington seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 4-0. OTHER BUSINESS Chairman Hamilton asked Commission members if they had received a letter of June 4, 1986, from Dr. Harold W. Dodge, Superintendent of the University City School District. The letter was in regards to designation of the University City Education District including Hanley Jr. High School as a local historic district. This issue had been tabled by the Plan Commission at the May 28, 1986 meeting. Ms. Elwood stated that staff hoped to arrange a meeting between the Superintendent, Board of Education and the Plan Commission in July. Mayor Majerus stated that as yet the request to have the Hanley Jr. High School property rezoned had not been placed on the City Council agenda. Chairman Hamilton hoped that planning staff would have the Comprehensive Plan revised in time for the July meeting. He reminded the Commission that there were two major sections of the Plan they had yet to review. Mr. Rice stated that the Commission would probably have more comments after receiving the first revision. He would rather review the plan in small parts during a couple of special meetings than have one extended meeting. Mayor Majerus stated that she would like to see the Plan Commission review the Plan with care during a number of special meetings scheduled closely together for the purpose of continuity. Chairman Hamilton stated that Commission members should come to the next meeting with their calendars and be prepared to schedule a few short meetings in August and September in order to review the plan. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 8:44 p.m.
