City Planner, Greg Last, explained that no additional parking is
required since the ratio is based on the seating in the sanctuary
and this has not changed.
Walt Jones, representative for the applicant, explained that the
church needs are growing more rapidly than they can find the means
to fund the new parish hall at this time. He stated that the
building would have a wood facade, be on piers, and be underpinned.
Mr. Jones stated that he has no problem with staff's review letter
of 1/3/1992.
Public Hearing:
Gertrude Starkey, 549 N. Kimball, expressed her opposition to the
portable building being placed near residents. She believes it
will decrease the value of her property.
Walt Jones does not believe the addition of this building will make
it any less attractive than what is currently there behind the new
church.
There were no other comments during the public hearing.
Commissioner Richarme stated that the activity (the new sanctuary)
out there so far has enhanced this particular area.
Commissioner Samartin stated that he feels temporary buildings have
served their purposes for banks, city halls, etc. and he believes
this is something a community service organization has to do until
monies can be raised for constructing permanent structures.
Motion was made to approve ZA 91 -74 subject to compliance with
staff's review letter of 1/3/1992 deleting item #9 regarding
bufferyards and recommend granting a variance to the masonry
requirement (based on the pictures depicting a wood -like facade)
and the permanent foundation requirement.
