P/I Form No. 19 Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 94008 Applicant: Anoka -Hennepin Community Education Learning Readiness Preschool Program Location: Lutheran Church of the Master, 1200 69th Avenue North Request: Special Use Permit The applicant requests Special Use Permit approval to operate a preschool within the Lutheran Church of the Master located at 1200 69th Avenue North. The church property is zoned Rl (Single Family Residence) and is bounded on the north by 70th Avenue; on the east by Emerson Avenue and three 7 unit apartment buildings recently acquired by the Lutheran Church of the Master; on the south by 69th Avenue; and on the west by the Northbrook Terrace apartment complex.. Both churches and preschools are special uses in the Rl zone. New Horizons Daycare Centers had operated a preschool out of the Lutheran Church of the Master for a number of years until 1992 when that operation moved to the Humboldt Square Shopping Center. Since that time no preschool has been operated out of the church and the Special Use Permit for such use has lapsed. Therefore, a new Special Use Permit must be approved for this operation. Marilyn Wolkerstorfer, supervisor for the Anoka -Hennepin Community Education Learning Readiness Preschool Program has submitted written information regarding their proposed operation at the church. This program is required to be licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. The applicant proposes to offer a preschool program on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00 a. m. to 11:00 a. m. and from noon to 2:00 p. m. for 31 weeks beginning September 12 and running through May 1995. The morning hour classes are for 3 year olds and the afternoon classes are for 4 and 5 year olds. The maximum number of preschoolers in any one class would be 20. The written information cites the goal of the program and various activities proposed for the children. Ms. Wolkerstorfer notes that the staff and program are licensed by the Department of Human Services and that each class will be staffed by a teacher and an assistant. The preschool classes would be conducted on Mondays and Wednesdays. The location of the preschool classes is in an approximate 20' x 40' classroom located at the northwest corner of the original church building. The facility has been inspected by the Building Official and the Hennepin County Health Department for compliance with applicable regulations. The State Fire Marshall is also required to review the facility for code compliance as well. Access to the preschool classroom will be from the north side of the church building through the parking lot. Parking associated with this use should be confined to the church's north parking lot. 8-11-94 -1- Planning Commission Information Sheet The Anoka -Hennepin Community Education Learning Readiness Preschool Program has 11 existing sites located throughout the Anoka -Hennepin School District.

Attached for the Commissions review is a copy of Section 35-220 of the Zoning Ordinance containing the standards for Special Use Permits. Special Use Permits may be granted only after a finding that all of the standards for Special Use Permits have been met.
