Commission approves conditional-use permit for family daycare at 710 North Kittredge Street
Summary
A conditional use permit was granted for Shana Recker to operate a family residential daycare at 710 North Kittredge Street, with the commission applying the standard three conditions including fire inspection and non-transferability of the permit.
The Mitchell Planning and Zoning Commission approved a conditional-use permit allowing a family residential daycare to operate at 710 North Kittredge Street.
Mark (city staff) said neighbors were notified, a notice was published and signs posted; staff received one written response in favor and several conversations with nearby residents who raised traffic and child-safety concerns tied to proximity to the high school. Staff told commissioners the property had been operating as a daycare for a couple of months without a permit and that the application was a response to that discovery.
The commission approved the standard three conditions applied to residential daycare permits: the permit is nontransferable, a fire inspection must be passed before operation continues, and the permit lapses if the business ceases operation for six months. The property owner told the commission they plan upgrades to the property and will install a fence; the owner said toys have been temporarily placed in the backyard and that they plan front-yard reseeding and a fence in front and later chain‑link in the back.
A motion to approve the conditional use with the three standard conditions passed on voice vote; the meeting record lists the motion as carried.
Staff stated the permit will be conditioned on passing city inspections prior to continued operation.
