City Council Meeting Minutes December 4, 2012 Page 6 of 16 Mayor Muckle explained this item was initially heard at the November 20, 2012 City Council meeting, where Council neither approved nor denied the application as the result of a 3-3 tie vote. It was Council's decision to review two resolutions at the next Council meeting; one of approval and one of denial, and be voted on by all seven City Council members. He noted six members of Council were present this evening and the vote would likely be a 3-3 vote again. He proposed to continue this matter to the next meeting but would allow a staff presentation and public comment. Planner I Robinson stated the City staff had no further presentation. Mayor Muckle noted one email was received relative to the landmarking from John Leary. He asked if the applicant wished to make a presentation. The applicant, Steve Poppitz, was agreeable with the continuance and would make a presentation at the next meeting. MOTION: Mayor Muckle moved to continue Resolution No. 76, Series 2012 to the next regular City Council meeting, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Dalton. All were in favor. Absent: Council member Sackett.

In 1983 the property received a SRU permit, but in the Subdivision Plat the public land dedication was waived. The picnic pavilion request requires a building permit, thus the request includes a plat. The church uses are required as part of the SRU. The current condition of the site contains 7.1 acres, a 24,000 SF Church with enough seating for 240 to 260 people, and 200 parking spaces. The access is from Washington Street. The applicant proposes to expand the existing parking lot and relocate the access point to the intersection of Hawthorne and Washington, thus improving the drainage at the site. The existing drainage facilities consist of a parking lot detention area and a detention pond at the southeast corner of the site. When built, they met or exceeded the
