Development Details Lakeside Presbyterian Church is requesting approval of a site plan to add thirty (30) parking spaces along the existing driveway in front of the church. The applicant stated that in 2008, the church had an estimated 105 members and 70 parking spaces; over the last four years, membership has grown to about 175. Additional parking is needed to accommodate the growth. The applicant presented the following plan: Enlarged: COMMENTS / CONCERNS When is the second sanctuary going to be built? We will start making the plans next year.. probably built in about three years. Î Are you planning any sidewalk connections to Watermere? No Î What happened at the P&Z meeting? Î we received was because we did not have a SPIN meeting prior to the P&Z meeting. A very lengthy discussion took place regarding the activity between the church and the contractor who was awarded the bid for the project. City permits were not obtained properly. The necessity of a site plan approval came after-the-fact. Large amounts of cement and dirt had already been removed from the site. Consequently, the entrance to the church looks pretty tore up and unfinished. What about a stub out at Watermere with future development so there could be a connection? We can look at the possibility of that.. it would be nice to have Watermere Î residents join our service. We have a few that are already attending. ? Are they helping you resolve this problem? They have stated that as soon as we gain approval, they will work diligently to Î get the job done and place high priority on our site. They estimate completion in 4-5 days.
