MS. DAVA DISNEY TO ADDRESS THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
WITH REGARD TO CHANGING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AS IT PERTAINS
TO CHILD CARE
Chairman Hamper note this meeting was called due to a request
in writing by Ms. Disney to address the Commissioners about
child care in the home. He then asked Ms. Disney to address
the Commissioners.
Ms. Disney asked if the meeting could be re -scheduled until
after January 26, 1994 because the state is hosting an
information seminar on In Home Day Care in Hurst. The
Commission does not normally meet in the month of December;
but it did so at her request; therefore she needed to address
the Commission at this time.

Ms. Disney stated that she cares for five children; one full
time four year old and four part time after school and one
part time Tuesday through Friday after school. Ms. Disney has
three children of her own, ages 7, 10 and 13. She requested
the Commissioners change the number of children in the zoning
ordinance from three to five. She said she did not have four
hundred dollars to apply for a Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Boutwell stated the present Zoning Ordinance contains
procedures for a person to keep more than three children.
Commissioner Schaaf noted that the Commissioners had
extensively discussed the number of children in the
Ordinance. He felt there was a process in place for a
variance and that no changes need to be made in the ordinance
at this time.
commissioner Booker agreed with Commissioner Schaaf and
indicated no change was necessary.
Commissioner Cotton asked Ms. Disney why a change needed to
be made. She stated she needs to keep the five children for a
secondary income. Commissioner Cotton made the point that
there is nothing magic about the number of children, because
she wants five and others want six.
commissioner Williams stated that based on the public hearing
on December 7th, he would think the ordinance does not need
to be change. He sees no need for a change.
Therefore; a consensus of the Commissioners is that no change
be made to the Zoning ordinance and not to re -address the
issue at this time.
OTHER BUSINESS
The next meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission will
be a joint Public Hearing with the Town Council on January
18, 1994 to hear a request for the sale of alcohol at the
country club.
Mr. Boutwell and Ms. Shaw will meet with Mr. Roger Brown and
Mr. George Bryant to discuss technical information for
developing on land zoned Commercial General.
Commissioner Schaaf questioned if another bond issue for
streets would be forth coming. Ms. Shaw stated the issue was
currently under consideration. He wanted to know why the
streets were repaired during or between Thanksgiving and
Christmas. Ms. Shaw replied the work was tied in with the
budget. He further asked if the church for sale of lots sign
is approved. Ms. Shaw stated it had been approved and a
discussion for removal will be had with the Church.
