RESOLUTION #l, SERIES 1988 - FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH SUBDIVISION Wanush explained that the applicant, the First Baptist Church, is requesting a subdivision of a 5.1 acre parcel located at 200 W. South Boulder Road. The existing church would remain on a 3.6 acre lot. The 1.5 acre lot is then proposed for use as an alternate care facility for senior citizens. Council first reviewed this at their December 15, 1987, meeting and voiced concerns regarding the alignment of the roadway into the site and suggested that the road could be realigned to the opposite side of the buildings so that approaching vehicles' lights would not shine directly onto houses directly south of this proposed Home. Also, not included on the plat, was the question of signage. A third concern was the absence on the plat of handicapped parking. Although these issues relate directly to Resolution #2 (following), Council felt they should be dealt with prior to approving the subdivision of this parcel. Wanush stated that a new site plan has been submitted reflecting the changes requested. by Council. In addition, the applicant indicated that there would be a road base driveway. Staff feels that it should be paved in either asphalt or concrete and suggests that Council's approval should include this condition. Also, staff recommends that the required landscaping and parking be required at each phase of the pz°oject and become a condition of the approval. Wanush wanted to make clear that the maintenance of the driveway, including snow removal, should be the responsibility of the applicant, not the City. Wanush stated that the driveway as shown on the new site plan actually crosses the Baptist Church property and will require some type of easement agreement and to date Wanush has not received word that they are willing to provide that. Although Wanush feels that they will most likely be willing to provide that, the acquisition of that easement should be a condition of approval also. Anderson stated that he appreciated the work that went into his inquiry to determine if the roadway could be relocated. Anderson feels that it is a better plan with the relocation. With regard to the signage, the proposed sign is on the Baptist Church property and the applicant must obtain permission from the property owner. Another concern Anderson voiced was that of the setback of the buildings. Anderson asked if the setback could be expanded to 20 feet instead of t:he proposed 15 feet now that the realignment of the :road would allow it. 2
