<br />October 12, 1994 <br />TO: Councilwoman Janet Saringer, BZD Chairperson <br />SUBJECT: Proposed Sea of Learning Child Care Center <br />26945 Brookpark Road Extension <br />The material submitted by the proposed child care enter indicated that the following <br />would be done to protect the children crossing to/from and while in the playground area. <br />1. The outdoor playground will be entirely enclosed by a fence with a <br />lockable gate; <br />2. The children would exit the rear doors to a painted crosswalk; <br />3. Caution signs would be posted at both ends of the building and safety <br />cones would be posted along with the crosswalk to block the roadway; <br />4. An adult supervisor will be present at the crossing with a stop sign. <br />When comparing this location to the Child's View Day Care Center at 24064 Lorain <br />Road, two notable differences are apparent. The first is that the walking distance is much <br />shorter, the second is that the casual driver will have ready access to this alley. Since the <br />sight distance along the rear of the building is excellent, the latter should not be a <br />problem. If the casual driver does become a problem a speed bump located near each end <br />of the building could help. <br />A phone conversation was held with Nan Archbold, Day Care License Specialist for the <br />State of Ohio. Nan stated she has not been able to make a site inspection to date but has <br />no problem with what is proposed since it exceeds all safety requirements. <br />Larry J.
