NVS Propeties VIII LLC
Because of our use (a daycare), outdoor space and playground space is both required by the Health
Department and critical to an effectiive daycare. UDO Section 5.19.F requires a certain number of
shade trees and shrubs, which we're unable to provide all of them and also provide the playground
spaces.
The west and north are both sides of the property that aren't visible from any public street, as the
west side of the property abuts the development's stormwater retention pond, and the north side is
abutting the rear of an industrial pool business storage building, and is not visible from their site.
We are set back off Michigan and are a nested site within the development, so these trees and shrubs
would not be visible from any public right of way. We are adding a daycare to the public, and in order to
make it a functioning one that is code compliant and able to be licensed, we need to provide a certain
amount of usable outdoor space and these changes allow for that.
