She suggested that the Village Review Board analyze the effectiveness of the new process and make recommendations to the Council in the next six months for new geographic boundaries. Chair McCausland pointed out that the Village Review Board can recommend appropriate changes to the Council at any time. Chair McCausland moved, Councilor Feldman seconded that daycare centers be permitted throughout the town. Page 7 Andrew Singelakis explained that the State law was used as a guide post to define daycare centers. Daycare centers are considered commercial activity, therefore, this type of use was permitted in commercial related zones.
Child care is permitted throughout the town if the number of children is five or under.
However, the new ordinance allows for any use which is not permitted in a particular zone, to be evaluated by the Planning Board on a case by case basis. It is possible that a use which is not specifically permitted can be approved via a Special Permit process, which is decided by the Planning Board. Councilor Feldman moved, Councilor Galloupe seconded to adjourn the meeting. As corrected and approved by the Town Council on April 7, 1997.
