The City of Saline Zoning Board of Appeals will consider a variance to allow St. Andrew church to operate a childcare center out of existing buildings at the west-end church.
The ZBA meets at 7 p.m., Jan. 5 at Saline City Hall, 100 N. Harris St.
The church has plans to open a K-6 school on site but the city does not regulate the use of non-daycare or pre-K schools.
The ZBA will host a public hearing after a report from Community Development Director Ben Harrington. In his written report to the ZBA, Harrington suggests St. Andrew meets the four criteria needed to grant a variance and recommends approval of the variance with four conditions.
St. Andrew is not proposing fundamental changes to its 19.5-acre property.
Interesting. So, it would seem the Board's earlier decision, a decision facilitating the data center, afforded residents a mechanism to have their voices heard and to potentially stop the unwanted data center. The Board has now reversed that decision to deny citizens that very right to with they are entitled.
