Commission sets conditions for Bravo Day Care, seeks clearer roofline and program details
Summary
Kenosha commissioners advanced an initial hearing for Bravo Day Care (6515 Greenmeter Road), agreeing language that requires a partial roofline to match adjacent buildings and asking staff to verify final plans; commissioners also asked for clarification about whether services will differ for autistic children.
The Kenosha City Plan Commission on April 9 advanced an initial hearing and established conditions for Bravo Day Care, a proposed 5,220-square-foot facility at 6515 Greenmeter Road.
Staff presented the application and recommended establishing conditions of approval and scheduling a public hearing after class-2 notice publication. William Morris and a project representative described the proposal as an "artistic daycare" that would complete redevelopment of the site and said they could answer questions.
Commission discussion focused on a staff-recommended design condition that would require "at least a partial roofline" on the new building so the façade aligns with existing buildings around the center. One commissioner asked staff to clarify the language to ensure staff would not require a full roof where only a partial roofline was intended. The applicant said the current proposal is for a flat roof and questioned the need to change the elevation. After clarification from commissioners and staff that the requirement was intended to ensure visual continuity, the commission agreed to the language requiring a partial roofline and asked that the applicant show the detail when the project returns.
A commissioner also asked, "How is a day care center for autistic children different than your standard day care?" The applicant said the project is part of a corporate operation with other locations and acknowledged there are specialized centers elsewhere but did not provide detailed program specifics on the record.
The commission voted to establish the proposed conditions (including the partial roofline requirement) and to bring final plans back for review at the subsequent public hearing. Staff will verify that the roofline and other condition elements are addressed in the revised submission.
