Planning & Zoning Board January 9, 2002 Page 7 APPROVED MINUTES Pastor Gilbertson noted this information did not specify the actual amount of land needed for right-of-way dedication. Ms. Gretz indicat ed Exhibit three in this evening’s staff report had been included in the agenda packet for the May 27, 1997 City Council meeting. Chair Schaps stated it would be very unusual for a right-of-way dedication to not extend to the end of a parcel since the intent of the right-of-way was to allow the future extension of and connection to a roadway. Pastor Gilbertson questioned why the Church would be responsible for the extension of the roadway. Chair Schaps stated in the event the property owner wished to develop the land, part of that agreement would be the extension of the roadway. Pastor Gilbertson indicated the Church has no future development plans at this point. Chair Schaps indicated this was the reason the City has a transportation plan in order to plan for future development that may or may not be anticipated at this time. Pastor Gilbertson believed the Church would be willing to provide the necessary right-of- way dedication. However, he reiterated that when the Minor Subdivision had originally been approved the right-of-way expectations had been very unclear. Ms. Gretz noted at this time the City was only asking for the dedication of the right-of- way, not the payment of any assessments. Chair Schaps confirmed it was the consensus of the Board that, along with the right-of- way dedication, the intent would be to recommend approval of the construction of the picnic shelter, conditioned on the picnic shelter being reduced slightly in size and the tool shed being attached to the garage, providing the total square-footage of the structures meets the requirements of the ordinance. Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 7:05 p.m., and was supported by Mr. Lyden. Motion carried 5-0. Ms. Lane made a MOTION to recommend approval of the Gethsemane United Methodist Church Conditional Use Permit Amendment for the construction of a picnic shelter, subject to the following conditions: 1. A building permit must be obtained for construction of the proposed picnic shelter. 2. Issuance of the building permit will not be granted until the former approved dedication of the Stage Coach Trail right-of-way is officially recorded. Such dedication is with the understanding that Parcels B and C will be financially responsible for the future construction of the street, as approved by City Council on May 27, 1997.
