Dustin Springstead,Honey Tree Preschool co-owner, stated they wanted to provide more childcare for infants and toddlers. Kelly Beal,Honey Tree Preschool co-owner, spoke, and said they hoped to be a one-stop-shop for families in the community. Commissioner McQueeney asked if Robert had a presentation. Mr. Hubble said he did not. Mr. Sylvester reviewed the application process for Special Use Permits. There have been two public comments for approval and one public comment from the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority that they did not have any issues with this application. The vicinity map was reviewed. The parcel was 104.8 acres, and this was a 1.8 acre area of the parcel designated for special use. A zoning map was presented and reviewed. He reviewed the surrounding land uses and existing conditions, including the car wash and bowling alley. He cited Resolution R06-028 which was the approved original Special Use Permit. A close up of the site plan was presented and Mr. 3 02/08/2022 Sylvester went through the standards for approval. He reviewed standard one(1), including presenting the Future Land Use Map(FLUM). He also reviewed Standards two(2)through eight(8) and all were met. Staff found the • standards for approval were met as well as the zone district standards with condition one(1)which required the applicant to follow the conditions for the existing Special Use Permit. The Roaring Fork Planning Commission reviewed the file and it was acknowledged that there was an immediate need for additional child care services in the Roaring Fork Valley. The commission pointed out the intersection between Highway 82 and El Jebel Road and the existing traffic issues. Staff analyzed the intersection and determined that the issue had more to do with CDOTs programming of the light times rather than capacity of Hwy 82 and El Jebel Road. Mr. Davies stated that the current signal time was 160 seconds, and they allocated 110 of those seconds to the through lane on Hwy 82. There were no issues with capacity; it was a timing issue. Commissioner McQueeney asked if there was anything we could do to change that,unrelated to this file. Mr. Davies stated that CDOTs priorities were not on the side streets. Commissioner Scherr asked if this was a solvable problem by the signal. Mr. Davies stated that this would potentially add 52 new vehicles to the intersection which should not have a massive impact. Mr. Sylvester stated that the Roaring Fork Planning Commission approved this with conditions. Chairman McQueeney asked if the applicant was aware of the previous conditions and that they had to adhere to those previous conditions. Mr. Hubble acknowledged the conditions and the use as a childcare facility. Chairman McQueeny opened and closed public comment as there was none. Commissioner Scherr stated that the application was straightforward, simple, and all comments submitted were neutral to positive. He believed it met all the standards for approval. Chairman McQueeney concurred with Commissioner Scherr and had no concerns with the file. Commissioner Scherr moved to approve the Special Use Permit for the Honey Tree Daycare Annex, file number ZS-009192-2021 incorporating staff findings and conditions of approval because the application, as conditioned,meets the standards for approval. Chairman McQueeney seconded the motion.
