City of Roseville - Planning Commission Minutes for February 1, 2006http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/planning/minutes/2006/pm0201.htm b.Planning File 3705: Rose Hill Alliance Church, 2105 Roselawn Avenue, request for a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT to allow the construction of two additions to the existing church and school--including a new handicapped accessible entry and additional classroom/office space Chair Traynor opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal summary of the proposed project based on the staff report dated February 1, 2006 Planner Paschke explained that Rose Hill Alliance Church seeks approval to construct two additions totaling 4,012 sq. ft. The additions include a new handicapped accessible entry removing a portion of the interior court yard and a classroom/office/library addition onto the east side of the existing structure requiring a parking lot modification. Other improvements include a new courtyard and landscaping, along with the revised parking lot. Rose Hill church has a split level design. The addition to the main entry includes a larger foyer, wider stairway, and elevator. The upper level addition includes additional storage, mechanical room, and restroom, while the lower level addition includes a coat room and gathering space (outside the fellowship hall). The easterly 1,825 sq. ft. addition includes two classrooms, an office, and a library (stair corridor connecting levels). Rose Hill Alliance Church, originally built in 1968 and located on 2.5 acres, has a Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation of CHURCH, is located in Planning District 11, and the property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residence. As of 1998, the Code was changed in Section 1004.015 to permit churches within an R-1 District, with an approved Conditional Use Permit (to determine impacts) and a 30 foot setback from any adjoining residential property line. The proposed building material includes brick and window glazing to match the existing school/church and a standing seam metal roof for the new entry addition. The addition is designed to blend with the existing structure utilizing compatible materials and colors. The overall structure has a varying height. Specifically the school portion is approximately 18 feet above grade, while the church is approximately 43 feet above grade. The proposed school addition will match the existing building height, where as the entry addition includes architectural enhancements that reach an overall height of 26 feet to the roof peak (top). The applicant must provide the Fire Marshall and Public Works Department with the necessary information for them to determine whether resizing of the existing utility services or additional utility services are necessary to accommodate the classroom/office and restroom additions. The submittal includes a discussion on storm water management. However this plan and the subsequent improvement must receive the support of the Rice Creek Watershed and approval by the Roseville Public Works Department. Based on the proposed increase in very limited additional impervious coverage, it is assumed that minimal storm water improvements will be required. Minimal grading is necessary to accommodate the two additions and parking lot reconfiguration. A grading plan will be required at the time of building permit submittal that must include erosion control measures and address storm water management. The proposal includes a landscaping plan for the revised courtyard. This plan has been reviewed and approved by staff. However, a condition will be added that this landscaped area include irrigation. Mr. Paschke reviewed the criteria for issuance of a conditional use permit and explained that this project had little perceived impact. He reviewed: a.Impact on traffic b.Impacts on parks, streets and other public facilities c.Compatibility of the site plan, internal circulation, landscaping and structure with contiguous properties d.Impact of the use on market value of contiguous properties e.Impact on the general public health, safety and welfare f. 3 of 94/3/2006 11:54 AM
