MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 11, 2001 Motion seconded by Duray. Motion carried 4 - 0. PLAN REVIEW, Dave Heller, H2 Architects, appeared before the Commission requesting CUP, AND plan review, a Conditional Use Permit for off-site parking, and a property PROPERTY division for St. John's Church as relates to their construction of a new DIVISION - school facility as well as a new rectory. ST. JOHN'S CHURCH The Commission began with a review of the property division to create a new lot on the Savage Lane cul-de-sac. Father Fitzpatrick reported that the new lot would be created and a house constructed on the lot. This house would serve as the residence for the priest for the church. Father Fitzpatrick pointed out that the existing residence will be converted to all office area and meeting space. Keis asked if the lot would remain zoned Public. The City Planner indicated that the Public zoning allows for residential uses for people employed at the church. Therefore, the property division can occur and a new rectory constructed under the Public zoning. Should the church no longer need the house and would decide to sell it, the property would have to be rezoned to R-l. The property owner at 335 Savage Lane asked for more information on the property division. Father Fitzpatrick indicated that the lot would be 90 feet by 125 feet. Asingle-family style home and garage would be constructed on the lot and would serve as the home for the church priest. Access to the house would be via Savage Lane. Father Fitzpatrick indicated that as many trees as possible would remain on the lot. Traffic to and from the house would be limited and likely just that of the priest coming and going from his home. Duray asked if the lot met the City's minimum requirements. The City Planner indicated that the lot exceeds minimum requirements. Keis asked if there would be any issues with drainage for this lot. The City Planner pointed out that some grading of the lot would be necessary to construct the home. He felt that drainage issues were more related to the remainder of the St. John's proposal. Mr. Barraclough recommended approval of the property division proposed by St. John's Church for a lot at the end of Savage Lane subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner and the City Engineer.
