(Cont'd) Niepriteky explained the architectural style of the Orthodox Church is Bysantine, with the domed steeples. Member Meury questioned what day of the week the primary service was held at . the Church. Niepriteky advised the service was held on Sunday, at 10:00 a.m., and is usually a 1-1/2 hour service. Miller explained that the Zoning Ordinance does not dictate materials or style; it does state buildings should not be constructed in a style or material so different from the surroundings that it impacts the property values in the area. Member Petersen questioned if there would be three separate structures on the property. Niepriteky stated that the Church and Church hall would be attached and the residence would be separate. The Church hall would be used for Sunday School and Church functions, such as dinners or social functions. Member Zehm questioned if the site is large enough to accommodate the parking and buildings. Niepriteky advised the architect is comfortable with the site size; actually it is larger than recommended. Chairman Curtis questioned if access would be granted onto Highway 96. The Planner noted that it has been recommended we not provide any access onto . Highway 96; however, each case is studied individually. Commission discussed the agreement with North Heights Lutheran Church to post a "No Right Turn" sign at the Snelling Avenue egress; Planner advised that the same restriction could be applied to this proposal. Member Meury questioned if the Church representatives had visited the site on Sunday morning to view the traffic situation as it currently exists. Niepriteky advised that he had not done so at this time. Commission explained that they would be reluctant to grant variances on this site for reasons of protecting the adjacent residential zoning district. Planner Miller explained to the Church representatives that a Public Hearing is required for SUP and issues that were not addressed this evening could surface at the time of the hearing, and, also, that the Planning Commission is only a recommending body, Council has final approval.
