Director Sheldon <br /> expressed that the way the Code is written, the <br /> plan has enough parking. <br /> Commissioner Stevenson inquired as to the <br /> maximum height of the steeple. Mr. Diem <br /> replied that the steeple height varies with the <br /> size of the building. Ms. Sheldon measured the <br /> plans and indicated the steeple to be 41.5 feet <br /> above the grade. Commissioner Miller asked if <br /> it were a request for a single family home would <br /> there be restrictions on how large they could <br /> build the house? Director Sheldon indicated <br /> that the Zoning Code does not have a coverage <br /> limit, but we do have setback requirements. <br /> Commission Miller indicated that it could be <br /> conceivable that a home could be quite a bit <br /> larger than the church proposal. <br /> Mike Egger, 6952 Pleasant View Drive, had <br /> concerns on what the property is zoned and it <br /> was explained that it is zoned residential and <br /> that the R-1 district allows churches with <br /> approval of a conditional use permit. He also <br /> expressed concerns with traffic. <br /> Bill Mellon, 6953 Pleasant View Drive, inquired <br /> about the fire department issue, and had <br /> concerns with the driveway width and the <br /> parking lot. Director Sheldon briefly went over <br /> the parking plan and how it relates to <br /> emergency vehicle access. <br /> Dan Moon, 6929 Pleasant View Drive, <br /> expressed his concern about how close the <br /> proposed parking lot would be to his property <br /> and the effects this would have on the value of <br /> his home. He also expressed that he believes • <br /> this is a gross overdevelopment of the property. <br />
