-2- 1 The Manager had. advised in his memorandum the concerns of Richard Porter, whose 2 home at 3329 Belden Drive is located immediatelyadjacent to the parking lot 3 behind the church about the City- granting a variance for a vestibule and entry- 4 way addition which would encroach beyond the required 25 foot setback closest 5 to his own property. Mr. Porter was present and indicated the plans had been 6 redrawn. to avoid that encroachment. He said .he would be agreeable to the proposed 7 addition-as long as runoff from the .new -str.uctures is diverted down to Belden and 8 away from his property, saying with the structure- standing 16 feet higher than his 9 property, he would probably have more problems with the drainage from the church's 10 property than he had ,in the past when at one time he had ended up with three or 11 four inches of mud in his basement. 12 13 Mr. Porter also said he hoped the church would require no stronger lighting than 14 is now provided by the floodlight he perceives provides adequate security for that 15. area now. 16 17 John Hensel , 3317 Belden Drive and -another churchmember, Richard Carlson, 3509 18 Maplewood Drive, the contractor, along with the architect, Paul Erickson, 4901 19 Olson Highway, answered questions put to -them by the Commissioners related to the 20 new addition, the elevator which-Mr. Hensel said would take impaired parishioners 21 to the second level , and the 60 space parking lot whichthe -church plans to con- 22 struct on the property .it owns south of the church on Silver Lake Road from the 23 existing older home would be removed. 24 25 Mr. Carlson told Mr. Porter .the church was also interested 'in providing_ a drain- 26 age system which would protect their -lower-'f,l;oorr rooms"from:any seepage. Mr. • 27 Hensel said the plans had been modified to maintain at least the required 25 foot 28 setbacks all around the building. He also. said the church .pastors were hoping 29 the improvements on the back of the building and provision for parking along 30 Silver Lake Road would encourage those parishioners (who some Commissioners had 31 indicated were adding to the congestion in the Park View parking lots evenings 32 when there are a lot of activities including official City meetings going on in 33 that building) to park across the street where they could avoid having to cross 34 agai nst_the;�,Si I veri_Lake:�Road�;traff is., 35 36 There were some suggestions from Commissioners on how the curb cuts for the parking 37 lot could be relocated to enhance the use of 33rd Avenue for an exit but Commissioner 38 Bowerman indicated he perceived three stacking spaces before the stop sign would 39 be adequate. 40 41 A poll of the Commissioners indicated all would generally favor the project as 42 presented and Commissioner Bjorklund said he especially appreciated having the 43 church address a perceived parking problem. 44 45 Motion by Commissioner Bjorklund and seconded by Commissioner Bowerman to approve 46 as submitted the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting held September 17, 47 1985. 48 49 Motion carried unanimously. 50 51 The Commission gave no encouragement to Kenneth and Charleene Johnson, 1927 • 52 Simpson, Roseville, to proceed with their suggestion that the existing signage on 53 the Hardee's Restaurant they own at 4004 Silver Lake Road be replaced with a larger 54 pylon sign. The Johnson's were instead urged to gett -a more current version of the 55 City Sign Ordinance than they had that evening which, Commissioner Bowerman said, 56 had been madewrittento be more restrictive to keep Silver' Lake Road from becoming
