5. Aa. .. lsis
....n........y...........
The staff foresees no adverse impact to the surrounding
area as a result of the proposed use. The proposal
contains 30 paved parking spaces which is 10 short of
the current requirement. The staff feels that since
the original ordinance requirement was only 32 spaces
when the church was built and since the proposed
expansion will not increase the church capacity, that
the parking short -fall is not a significant issue.
6. City Engineer Comments
(1) Close East 2nd Street or build one-half of the
improvements for the property's frontage; and
(2) Improve Hazel Street as per the Boundary Street
Ordinance requirements.
7. Staff Recommendation
Approval subject to the applicant agreeing to comply with
City Engineering comments numbered 1 and 2.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
The applicant was present. A general discussion ensued over
the street closure issue. The staff recommended to the
applicant that he close the alley on his property while he
was closing East 2nd Street. Staff also stated that the
Planning Commission hearing on this item could suffice as a
public hearing for both the street and alley closure. The
City Engineer also explained that the Boundary Street
Ordinance requires that the construction of off-site
improvements take place unless the cost of said improvements
is more than 15% of the total cost of the on-site
construction. He further stated that if the cost of off-
site improvements exceeded the 15% base figure, the
applicant would be required to post an in -lieu contribution
that would be held by the City until the street was
constructed or until ten years had elapsed. Finally, the
City Engineer stated that the in -lieu contribution would be
returned to the applicant after ten years if the street had
not been constructed. The applicant agreed to comply.
