Planning Commission Minutes September 13. 1995 He stated that in the past year, Burke Avenue was flooded 2 times by parking runoff. Carla Bistler, who lives on Parker Avenue adjacent to the property, asked what type of grading and drainage will occur adjacent to her house. Clarification was provided. Chairman Wietecki asked if the city staff will inspect to see that the drainage is properly installed. The property owner adjacent to the northeast corner of the church property noted that her yard is consistently wet and the basement is wet in the spring. Water has drained over the curb lines and parking areas and into the yards on the east side ofthe project. She asked if a storm sewer could be placed in the back yards to reduce the amount of storm damage on this site. she stated that the properties on the northeast corner of the parking lot are the lowest properties within the neighborhood, and that they become the holding pond for much of the church parking lot. Bob Beshensky, 1040 Parker Avenue, stated he lives across the street from the church and was concerned about the youth building being placed temporarily on plywood and plastic. he asked if the building will be left for more than 12 months. He asked if the youth building could be removed, and moved to a more accessible site. He asked that the parking areas have no through streets and that the 1 garage remain on the site. He asked if there was a guarantee that the buildings will be removed rrom the site as proposed. He also stated that he was not concerned with height of the church. Carla Bistler asked how will the homes be removed rrom the site. Dan Lindgren, of Calvary Church, responded that the church will move the 2 homes to another site, and that the homes will be sold. Member Cunningham asked if the youth center will be moved. The lower level of the new building will house the youth center at some future date, and in the interim, the houses on the site will be used as a portion of the youth center. Member Cunningham also asked if the large parking area could be drained to a storm sewer. Lynn Newquist, Engineer representing the church, stated that the runoff will go directly into the major storm pond and from the pond into the city storm sewer. Carla Bistler expressed her concerns including: 1) There should be a fence or border between the properties, and the fence is needed to screen headlights and traffic. 2) There should be speed bumps in the parking lot to slow traffic down at the entrances and exits. 3) There should be a limit on how long temporary buildings can be left on the site. 4) There should be some method of maintaining and improving the privacy of the living 12
