Case:  Appeal #561:

 

Cynthia M. Long of 9327 Georgetown stepped to the podium and explained she wants to start a Type ‘A’ Day Care Center in her home and include it on her current Conditional Zoning Certificate #714 for a home occupation which permits her to give piano lessons and teach early childhood music.

 

Mrs. Long stated she applied to the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services and had her background check and other necessary testing for a Type ‘A’ Child Care Center.  All has been approved by the State.  She said she will never have more than 12 children in her care.  Ages range from 18 months to 12 years.  The day care will be open five days a week, Monday through Friday, from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.  Music classes start after 6:00 PM.

 

April 6, 2010 Minutes (Cont.)

 

 

Mrs. Long asked about the requirements for a fence.  She said the State didn’t say anything about a fence, but township secretary, Sharon Shaub, explained it is one of the requirements in our Zoning Resolution for a day care center.  (Copy attached)
