December 11, 1996 Plan Commission Minutes Page 4 Mr. Lieberman asked if the children come from all around the county. Ms. Buckley replied that the children come from all over the city, the county, St. Charles and one child commutes from Ste. Genevieve. Mr. Foxworth asked who refers the children to the school. Ms. Buckley replied school counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists and word of mouth. Mr. Lieberman asked if the staff is certified. Ms. Buckley replied that all of the staff is certified by the State of Missouri. The school is accredited through the North Central Association and ISACS. Mr. Solodar asked if the children would be permitted to smoke on campus. Ms. Buckley replied that they would not. Mr. Solodar stated that if the application is approved he would like to add a condition that states: External security lighting that abuts residential areas shall be located along the perimeter of the property facing inward and shall shielded from casting light upon abutting residential property. He stated that he is concerned that the parking may be insufficient for this use even though it meets code requirements. Mr. Foxworth stated that he would like the term "acceptable to both parties" added to proposed condition #5. The Plan Commission determined that the evidence presented to the Plan Commission supports the conclusion that the proposed conditional use: a) Complies with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code; b) At the specific location will contribute to and promote the community welfare or convenience; c) Will not cause substantial injury to the value of neighboring property; d) Complies with the overall neighborhood development plan and existing zoning district provisions; and e) Will provide, if applicable, off-street parking and loading areas in accordance with the standards contained in the Zoning Code. Mr. Foxworth moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the following conditions: 1.A revised site plan showing the off-street parking, service area pavement and curbs, refuse storage boxes, outdoor play area paving and equipment, and fencing shall be submitted to the Director of Planning for review and approval. All improvements shall be installed prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit. 2.A 30 foot wide transitional yard shall be provided along all portions of the site abutting residential lots. Where the location of the existing building prevents creating a 30 foot wide transitional yard, the yard width shall be equal to the space between the building and the property line, and between the service drive and the property line. All parts of the transitional yard shall be densely planted with a combination of evergreen and deciduous trees, and the entire perimeter of the transitional yard shall be fenced with a privacy fence at least 6' in m-12-11.plc
