After considerable discussion on the question of kindergartens and nursery
schools, the council by unanimous consent adopted the following statement relative
to such institutions: The council, is fully aware of the need of kindergartens
and nursery schools and recognizes the necessity of an amendment to the zoning
ordinance to make their operation possible. The council also believes that all
kindergartens and nursery schools must conform with all statutes governing their
regulations and permission to operate; and that once the zoning ordinance is
amended to permit their operation, agreement to comply with an ordinance requiring
strict adherence to these statutes will be a prerequisite to the granting of any
request for such institutions, The council records this statement in the minutes
of this meeting as a guide for further consideration by this or any succeeding
council,
