Day care center may be postponed
By Chris Roark, croark@starlocalnews.com
Representatives from Children's Learning Adventure Childcare Centers have requested a postponement in their application to construct a facility in Flower Mound.
Officials from the day care company had requested a specific use permit (SUP) to build a facility at the northeast corner of FM 3040 and Morriss Road, but the planning and zoning commission recommended denial of the SUP Monday because of a variety of concerns.
Among those, many which were shared with a packed crowd in attendance, were the possible traffic problems at the intersection that the center could create.
A supermajority council vote would have been required to overturn P&Z's recommendation.
The item will appear on the agenda, though the council has the option to table it for a future date.
Other concerns included proximity of children to a busy intersection, the lack of tax revenue generated in that area that could be used for retail, traffic going through the Tealwood Oaks subdivision to avoid making U-turns and lack of communication between the company and adjacent homeowners.
The project was set to include a 26,056-square-foot facility, a 30,000-square-foot playground and a small retail area.
