CASE NUMBER: 1250-~ APPLICANT: Muelle~ies Funeral Home e 2 April 1980 Page Two 4. n~ site plan further ind1cates four s 19nif1cant Hems of change: a. The construction of a driveway to the rear of the fonner church building for the purpose Of providing an access to a scrvicp door. This driveway will provide access for the hearse to the preparation room which is required by law to be 1n each funeral home. The Mueller-Bies people, however, indicate that they do not propose to prepare bodies at this site. The structure would be used for the conduct of funeral services. b. Construction of a canopy to connect the existing canopy in the front of the church to the church itself (Thl're is presently a gap between the canopy and the existing church structurp.). c. Construction of an additional eight parking spaces south of the existing parking lot. d. Installation of addltional planting (dark, shaded trees on site pl~n) easterly and northerly of the developed portion of the site. 5. The applicants have held a neighborhood meetlng w1th'contiguous residential property owners, whom we understand are in favor of the co~versio' of the Church to the funeral pa~lor use. As conveyed to us by t~e ~ppl !cants, they like the idea of continued use of the structure for ft'nerdl services, being similar to churCh services. rather than the possible conv~rsion of the building to office use, or some other comm~rcial e~tlty. It should be borne in mind. however, that rezoning of the land from R-I to B-1 would allow the ultimate use of the land for office purposes. 6. The seating cap~city of the eXlsting Church is approximately 100 people. It 1S anticipated that the capac1ty could be increased to perhap~ 125. Therefore, the appl icallts have propo~ed to add the elqht parklng stalls making a total of 42 spaces. This would theoretically allow for accommodation of 126 seats. 7. The addition of the extended driveway, canopy, and landscaping we see as positive lmprovements not ha~ing deleterious affects upon contiguous prop~rty. The new parklng areas and driveways would be curbed and construct~d with asphalt as required by City Ordinance. S. W1th respect to the proposed vacatlon of the 25 foot rlght-of-way on the eas~ side of the Church property, the Planninq COOlTl15S10n and Councl1 nlay wish to consider the impact of that proposal. This 25 foot dedication was originally accompliShed through the ins1stence of the Fabyanske's who cwn the contiguous property to the east. The Fabyanske's were concerned about the ultimate further subdivision of their property. Because the fabyanske property is only 135 feet deep (ea5t-we~t) it was deC1ded at that time that a 25 foot dedlcatfon would be appropr1ate and that the ultlmate full right.- of-way w1dth woul r1 be 50 feet rather than 60. rJhen the Church was bui It, this 25 foot dedication was offered by the Church 50 as to make sure that
