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. Page 2, P&Z Meeting 2/24/94 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.
