Mrs. Blodgett: previously appeared December 6, 1956.
Represented by herself: School on Shumate Property.
Following the request of the Hommission, Mrs. Blodgett
has obtained the signatures of residents within one
mile of the proposed school. She presented 30 signatures.
This seems to be a good coverage. The school will have
9 teachers — 70 students. Should this be a variance
or a use permit? What is the time limit of this permit?
Time limit: Check with the Town Attorney. Mrs. Blodgett
prefers no time limit on the use permit. (Ford School
probably has no time limit). She must have a permanent
use to make it a practical operation. Parking for staff
of 9 must be provided.
RECOMMENDATION:
Moved: J. Stedman; Second: W. Simrell; Vote: Approved
Subject to the approval of the Fremont Hills subdivsion
map, and clarification by the Town Attorney of the permit
required, the Planning Commission approves the establish—
ment of this school on the Shumate property as proposed.
