ITEM No. 2 -C.B.C.549-A - NEW MATTERS
Applicant:
Address:
Description:
Rick L. Barger
Barrow Road Church of Christ
900 Barrow Road
Long Legal
1. A perimeter planting strip shall be required along any side of a vehicular use area that
abuts adjoining property. This strip shall be at least six (6) feet wide.
2. One (1) tree and four (4) shrubs or vines for every forty (40) linear feet shall be planted
in the perimeter planting strip.
A reduction in the width of a portion of the northern perimeter planting strip two hundred and
nineteen (219) feet in length from six (6) feet to two (2) feet and transferring the required
landscaping to the interior of the proposed parking area.
FINDINGS:
The Barrow Road Church of Christ property is located south of a heavily wooded commercially
zoned property ov�ned by the Baptist Medical Center. The applicant proposes to increase the
size of the existing church building and install additional parking areas to the west. A steep
natural embankment exists immediately south of the proposed driveway increasing the difficulty
in providing a six (6) foot wide landscape strip along the northern perimeter. In April of 1994
the City Beautiful Commission granted a waiver allowing a portion of the northern perimeter
landscape strip, which is located east of the current proposal, to be reduced to two (2) feet in
width. The applicant now requests permission to continue the two (2) foot wide landscape strip
westward an additional two hundred and nineteen (219) feet.
STAFF RECONBIENDATION:
Since the applicant is willing to provide additional landscaping within the interior of the
proposed parking areas exceeding requirements along the heavily wooded northern perimeter,
staff recommends approval of this request.
