COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Despite objections raised by a pair nearby residents, the City of Coldwater Planning Commission voted 8-0 Monday night to approve a Special Land Use Permit petition for the development of a Child Group Day Care Home at a residence at 129 Central Park Drive.
Jennifer Barnett is the petitioner. She said they are currently allowed to take care of up to six children. The special land use permit would be for between seven and 12 children.
Neighbors Micky Fradenburg and Lorraine Kovales raised traffic and noise concerns.
It is in the Second Ward’s Irwin Park Manor subdivision and is in an established single-family zoned neighborhood.
In addition on Monday, the Planning Commission decided to table a request from Envirolite Properties at 421 Race Street for a 53,700 square foot addition to a manufacturing facility on over 10 acres of land in order to gather more information.
A special meeting could be scheduled before May 1, 2017.
The addition was approved last month by the Planning Commission but the applicant has decided to pursue alterations to the site that were so significant, it needed further discussion before the Planning Commission. The revisions generally cover off street parking, storm water management and alternative emergency drive surfacing.
