PLANNING REPORT DATE: 1 May 1985 CASE NUMBER: 1585-85 APPLICANT: King of Kings Lutheran Church LOCATION: Northeast Corner of Dale Street and T.H. 36 ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: Variance to Concrete Curb Requirement 1. The property is a 5.0 acre site with 425 feet of frontage on Dale Street, and is occupied by the King of Kings Lutheran Church, a part of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, Minnesota South District. The Church is south and westerly of a larger parcel occupied by the Concordia Academy, an affiliated Lutheran school. The Church was added to about eight years ago and has an existing off-street parking lot with a gravel surface without concrete curb with a capacity of approximately 35 parking spaces. 2. On 19 December 1984, James Olson, representing the Church, met with the staff at City Hall regarding their proposal to expand their parking facilities. The following is a memo outlining the results of that meeting: "James Olson is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the King of Kings Lutheran Church at the northeast corner of Dale Street and Highway 36. He has been a member for two years, and "inherited" the funding drive begun in 1983 to raise money to build a second parking lot on the south side of the church. They proceeded to get bids for spring construction to include gravel base, asphalt surface, and asphalt curbing. We had to inform him that asphalt curbing —does not meet development standards in Roseville, and is, in fact, a poor investment for them on a long range basis. It is also true that the existing parking lot to the north is constructed of Class 5 material (gravel), and does not have the required concrete curbing. We encouraged Mr. Olson to continue their efforts to improve their facility, but that we as a staff cannot authorize substandard improvements that do not meet with code requirements. He will get back to his committee, and check back with us later as to their alternative methods for proceeding."
