Council holds first reading of ordinance to allow daycare at former Kenyon‑Wanamingo middle school
Summary
On first reading the council reviewed Ordinance #211 to amend zoning code to allow daycares as a conditional use, drafted by Kennedy & Graven to support a potential reuse of the former Kenyon‑Wanamingo middle school; no final action was recorded.
The Wanamingo City Council on June 9 held the first reading of Ordinance #211, which would amend Wanamingo Code of Ordinances sections 152.27 and 152.28 to allow a daycare business as a conditional use in specified zoning districts.
City Administrator Michael Boulton said the proposed ordinance language was prepared by the law firm Kennedy & Graven to support a possible sale and conversion of the former Kenyon‑Wanamingo middle school into a daycare. Attorney Bob Vost of Kennedy & Graven prepared the draft language and David Jacobsen was described as being informed about the proposal but deferring zoning specifics to the firm.
The item was listed as a first reading; the council did not adopt the ordinance at this meeting, and no vote outcome was recorded. Staff and the city’s legal counsel will continue work on the proposed zoning amendments and any required notifications or hearings before a final decision.
