COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 27, 1995 A park trail that will run along the road right-of-way will be dedicated to the City. This trail will connect to the trail that is planned for the Senior Cottage housing project. Council Member Bergeson asked when the Living Waters Lutheran Church constructed an addition to their building this summer, were they required to get a conditional use permit. Ms. Wyland explained that a conditional use permit was approved when the original building was constructed. The recent addition was included in the original conditional use permit, therefore an amended conditional use permit was not required. Ms. Wyland explained that the Church is requesting a variance so that they can build a garage which is 36 feet by 72 feet to house vehicles and equipment to maintain the site. This building will be located behind the existing school building. It will be a wood frame structure with siding that will match the exterior of the proposed addition. In the current Zoning Ordinance there is no provision for accessory buildings for churches. The Church is located in an R-1 District and the maximum size of an accessory building for this district is 1100 square feet. Since the siafis reviewing and preparing proposals to update that ordinance, provisions for structures other than residential units in the various zoning districts will be included in the recommended changes. This problem should not occur in the future. Council Member Elliott moved to approve the request for a conditional use permit with conditions outlined above. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Neal moved to approve the variance as outlined above Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Representatives from The Church of St. Joseph presented an architects model of what the site will look like when all the building is complete.
