Development Summary: The proposed building is approximately 30,300 square feet in size. It contains a sanctuary design to seat 400 people, a fellowship hall/gymnasium, classrooms and education spaces, as well as office areas. The exterior building materials are proposed to be primarily brick with some concrete block accents. The surface of the spire is proposed to be standing seam metal. The roof is to be of asphalt shingles. The parking indicated on the site plan is for 183 cars. This equates to 1 parking space for every 2.2 seats in the sanctuary. The City Code requires a minimum of one space per 3-1/2 seats based on the design capacity of the main assembly hall. Space has been provided for planter islands within the parking lot to satisfy the 5% landscaping requirement of the City Code. Surface water runoff will be directed to the west end of the property where retention ponds are proposed to be created. In preparing for the Planning Commission meeting, staff reviewed the landscape plan and found it to be a good start but had some areas of concern to be addressed. These areas include: Provision of an adequate landscape interface between the proposed church parking lot and the residential neighbors to the north. Provision of additional landscape area between church building and the west property line. Revised landscaping in the 30 foot visibility triangle at Hamline and C-2. Provision of landscaping in the planter islands in the parking lot. Provision of proper spacing for boulevard planting, The applicant has worked with staff to revise the landscape plan to address these concerns. En&ineerinl Considerations: The Engineering Department has reviewed the above mentioned project. The following is a list of concerns: 1. This project has three sides that could have sidewalk constructed on them. They are Hamline, Centennial, and County Road C-2. At this point, staff would recommend a cash contribution into the City sidewalk fund. 2. A street assessment for County Road C-2 in the amount of$17,536.95 will be payable if the plat is approved. The owner has the option of requesting the City Council consider assessing this amount over 15 years. This assessment is due to the change from R-l to Tax Exempt R-l. 3. There is an existing five foot sidewalk easement running through the site from County Road C-2 to Centennial Drive. The plans show a Trash Enclosure located within the easement. No buildings or structures can be located within any easement. To remove the existing easements they have to be vacated, not just replatted over. There are also existing drainage and utility easements on the site. A hearing for the vacation of these easements was scheduled and held at the City Council meeting on August 26, 1996. 4. Any existing curb and gutter that is removed or any new curb and gutter placed must be done as per City of Roseville/Ramsey County standards. 5. A permit to work within the Hamline Avenue right-of-way from Ramsey County is required. 2
