Summary

The board voted 4–0 to grant conditional‑use approval for a family daycare at 37 Woodman Ave with conditions including hours (Mon–Fri 7:30 a.m.–5 p.m.; one evening monthly until 9 p.m.), a requirement to record a new septic design within one year of approval, and language clarifying that major changes — including change of ownership — need prior board review.

Alicia and Michael Ciccio asked the Planning Board for a conditional‑use approval for a family daycare at 37 Woodman Avenue. The applicants clarified minor fixes to the draft findings and requested an extension of a septic‑design deadline; staff confirmed the approval letter will reference the Dec. 9 meeting date and that the recording requirement will be one year from the date of approval.

The board added a condition specifying hours of operation: Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and one monthly evening until 9 p.m., with the precise evening flexible for applicants because of holidays or weather. Members also added language to make clear that major changes, including a change of property ownership, require prior planning‑board approval while minor changes fall to the city planner for determination.

The board adopted findings and conditions and voted 4–0 to grant conditional use approval. The conditions include a requirement that, once approved, the septic design be recorded at the York County Registry of Deeds within one year; failure to record within that timeframe may result in revocation of the conditional‑use approval.

Next steps: staff will finalize the conditions with corrected applicant name and the agreed recording deadline; the applicant will record the septic design and follow conditions required by the board.
