Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record.
LEI Michelle Martin, Department of Planning Services, presented a brief summary of the
proposal. She reported that the Town of Frederick had no comment and the Town of Firestone
commented they did not support the increased traffic and that the Firestone Regional Trail
proximity was of concern. In a follow-up email the Town indicated that the applicant could
request an amendment to the easement from the Firestone Town Board directly. She said the
Conditions of Approval address the sentiments of Firestone. Ms. Martin reported there is no
opposition on record from surrounding property owners and land uses, and the Planning
Commission recommended approval unanimously. Ms. Martin showed pictures of the site and
explained the location/proximity of the Firestone Trail, which their access easement crosses
over. Commissioner Kirkmeyer questioned the difference between Condition of Approval #1.6
and #1.E, Ms. Martin confirmed that #1.E was redundant, but referenced the Department of
Public Works, whereas #1.B referenced Planning Services. Commissioner Kirkmeyer also
referenced #1.C. It was noted that Colorado Department of Human Services was erroneously
referred to as Human Resources, which will be corrected.

Town of Firestone requested a discussion regarding the access crossing the trail. She noted

plowing, and also some asphalt improvements; she indicated the Town of Firestone is in
agreement. a John Jaquish, Daycare Director, said the facility will serve 11 children; hours

g� Chair Garcia opened the meeting up to the public. No public testimony was offered

employees and the applicant's representative indicated this was acceptable. Chair Garcia
noted that Development Standard #16, and Condition of Approval #1.C require correction.
Anywhere it says "Human Resources" should be corrected to read "Human Services", by assent
of the Board. Commissioner Rademacher proposed striking the last sentence of Development
Standard #20, which was done by assent of the Board. Commissioner Kirkmeyer suggested the
deletion of Condition of Approval #1.E, which was deleted by assent of the Board, and she
questioned the hours of operation. Due to emergency late parents, Development Standard #3
was amended to be 7:00 p.m., by assent of the Board. Commissioner Kirkmeyer questioned
the referenced approval from the fire protection district in Development Standard #31, and Ms.
Martin said that if the Fire Protection District has a stricter fire code than the Building
Department, they would most likely follow the County Code for issuing the building permit.

of the Board, Development Standard #31 was deleted.
