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.
