Highway 96 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />ReQuest <br />The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to North Heights Lutheran <br />Church's Planned Unit Development (see Site Plans, Exhibit A) for the addition of two <br />accessory structures (Exhibit B) on thc southwest portion of the property on the Highway <br />10 side of the property. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Back2:round <br />A Planned Unit Development for North Heights Lutheran Church was originally <br />approved by the City in Planning Case 84-21. The concept PUD set out a four-stage <br />development program. The PUD was amended with Planning Case 95-13 for the addition <br />of temporary classrooms and then again in Planning Case 97-05 for a major addition to <br />the Church as well as a change from a four to a three stage master plan (Exhibit C, three <br />stage master plan). <br /> <br />The first and second stages of the master plan have been completed at this time.
