Village board approves special-use permit for daycare at 993 Daisy Highway
Summary
Trustees unanimously directed the attorney to draft an ordinance granting a special-use permit in the B-3 district for a daycare at 993 Daisy Highway; the facility must still secure state licensing from Illinois DCFS.
The Village Board voted on Sept. 8 to direct the village attorney to draft an ordinance granting a special-use permit in the B-3 district for a daycare facility at 993 Daisy Highway. Trustee Stacy made the motion; a second was recorded but the seconder’s name was not specified in the transcript. The roll call recorded unanimous approval.
Trustee Stacy told the board the facility opened April 25 as an indoor children’s play and party space and that several parents asked whether before- and after-school care could be offered. Planning and Zoning held a public hearing, found that the site met the standards for a special use in the B-3 district, and voted unanimously to recommend approval.
Any child-care operations at the site must still meet state licensing requirements. Trustee and board discussion noted that Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) licensing reviews items such as exits, lighting and other safety fixtures for child-care providers; the trustee leading the application said zoning approval is required before the operator pursues state licensing.
The motion carried on a roll call that recorded the following "yes" votes: Gardner; Stacy; Diachenko (also spelled in the transcript as Dean Chienko); Ross; Smith; Terry. The transcript did not list any "no" or abstain votes.
