not adequately resolved at this time.

With regard to crosswalks, Planner Overhiser indicated that the
childr,on would not walk, batt would be dropped off.
It was the concern of the committee that allowing a conditional
use permit for, any Use that could justify itself as a day care
center, could provide many problems if standards were not upheld.
It was believed that denying a conditional, use pearmit or rev"'Oking
the permit, would be very difficult.. It was pointed out that this
would be a general Ordinance amendment, not 'merely an amendment
to facilitate the request made by Greenwood Baptist Church.
Planner Overhiser pointed out, that the Cammission would specify
where day care centers and nursery. s-chools could be allowed by
stating that the us'e would be permitted in churches and schools
only. It '-was believed by the Committee that the amendment should
be so worded.
