Churches, by their nature, tend to be structures with a great deal of volume and height. The Roseville Covenant Church has indicated that the 46-1/2 foot height of the proposed new sanctuary is necessary to achieve the correct acoustics within the sanctuary, as well as creating space to store acoustical equipment, lighting, and HV AC equipment. With the amended landscape plan, the project meets all setback requirements and design standards. Recognizing the need for volume for proper church acoustics and given the proposed church facility will meet all other setback and design standards, staff recommends approval of the Roseville Covenant Church request for 16.5 foot variance to the height specification for R-l zoning districts. Sua=eested Council Action: 1. By motion, adopt a resolution finding that an application for a conditional use permit and comprehensive plan amendment are not necessary. 2. By motion, adopt a resolution stating that the preliminary and final plat consolidating four lots into one is approved subject to the following conditions: a. 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. b. 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 change from R-l to Tax Exempt R-l. c. There is an existing five foot sidewalk easement running 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 is scheduled for the City Council meeting on August 26, 1996. d. 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. e. A permit to work within the Hamline Avenue right-of-way from Ramsey County is required. f. Drainage and erosion control must be in place before any grading work is started. g. Need detailed plans for the pond area which also shows which trees are proposed to be removed, 3. By motion, adopt a resolution approving a variance to the building height limit in an R-l zoning district. 4. By motion, adopt a resolution vacating utility, drainage and walkway easements.
