Land Use Variance- Stevenson- 525 W. 5th- Practice Dance Studio
A land use variance has been requested by Kate Stevenson for the
land at 525 W. 5th Street to allow a practice dance studio in the
back house located at that address.
The studio will be used 14 hours per week during the school year (9
months) only. There will be a possible traffic increase and noise
but she doesn't feel it would be very noticeably except during the
times parents drop off and pick up their children.
The property consists of 4 lots, which makes it larger than the
average property sizes in the subdivision. The landscaping of the
property makes it such to where the building is not noticeable
unless you are looking for it.
Where the dance studio holds its practices now is located on West
Main Street next to a busy bar and also the bus depot. The
location is not ideal for dropping and picking up the dance
participants and the parents present at the meeting expressed much
concern for the safety of their children.
The proposed practice studio at 525 W. 5th is a residential area
and much more conducive to picking up and dropping off dance
students.
Keith Thompson stated that the bus depot is usually not operating
by the time the dancers arrive.
Cal recommended approval for this land use variance due to the
first paragraph of the ordinance which states "it's in the public
interest, "; and it has good and safe traffic access; no protests
were received and the support it is receiving from the parents of
the dancers.
Motion by Donna Kilpatrick, seconded by Gerald Shay, to
recommend approval of the land use variance for 525 W. 5th Street,
subject to the above recommendations. Variance will be site
specific and only good during the school year. Motion carried.
Discussion on the letters sent to Clark's Camp, the letter sent to
Kevin Burson, and Len Ventling's proposed subdivision going in out
beyond the Golf Course.
Respectfully submitted,

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
DEPARTMENT
City of Laurel is an EEO Employer
To City-County Planning Board_ & Oct 09
As a parent of a dancing participant, 1 support the move of Diane's Danceworks to a
residential area in Laurel. Presently, the dance studio shares a building with another
business. There is limited parking to pick up our children. When parents have to park
across the street, it is unsafe for children crossing,. The main street is busy and vision is
limited where the road curves. Y do not believe a dance studio would interfere with a
residential area. There are hair salons, churches, and other businesses in the residential
areas of Laurel. For the safety of the children and the privacy of the dance participants
please giant permission to move.
Sincerely,
$a R ?_,,
I _inda. R Shelton

To Whom It May Concern:
Our daughter attends Diane's Danceworks Classes here in Laurel.
In regards to moving to a new location, we are strongly for it.
Right now the location, being shared by the bus depot, we feel
is not adequate. At times, when the bus is just getting to the
depot it is rather frightening watching these young children
have to "wade" through the people waiting to catch the bus.
Also, the parking is poor. On a busy street like this, and
having to cross the street at times is not safe for the kids.
We strongly hope you agree with us on this issue as to having
the dance studio re-locate to a more safe and sound location.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Q "n oo
