B. 96 -26, PUBLIC HEARING, Shoreview Covenant Church, Ash Street (County Road J), Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review Ms. Wyland stated that a notice of public hearing was published and mailed to neighboring property owners. The Shoreview Covenant Church is planning to build a three -phase development between Baldwin Lake Road and Woodridge Estates. The area is zoned R -1X, which requires a Conditional Use Permit for church construction. Chair Schaps declared the public hearing open at 6:54 p.m. Ms. Wyland stated that staff has reviewed the site plan with some concern for future development in the area. There is an outlot from the Woodridge Estates plat which is now landlocked. The property is owned by Mr. Rick Carlson who would like to work with church officials on a land exchange for property on the north side of the proposed church site. At this time these negotiations have been unsuccessful. As a condition of approval, staff is recommending that adjoining property owners, including Mr. Rick Carlson, meet with church officials to discuss the future development of the church property. It is also recommended that a trail be located through the remaining vacant church property and a lease arrangement pursued with the church for possible additional recreational space for the neighborhood. Staff does not believe these issues should delay the actual site plan for the church building and would recommend approval of that phase. Property owners have expressed concern about not wanting a through access to Oakwood Lane. Staff would recommend approval of Phase 1 with the conditions outlined in the staff report. Chair Schaps asked if the City has previously approved one Conditional Use Permit with three phases.
