City of Roscville Community Developn�e�lt Department Re: Prince of Peace Lutheran Church Narrative for Conditional Use Permit Application 5 August 2005 Prince of Peace Lutheran Church is planning a substantial facility improvement to meet the needs of the congregation and public at large. Their plans include adding a new worship space capable of scating 450; rcmodcling their current worship space to become the naa-tlaexlgath�ring area and library; replacing existing toilet facilities; addition of bride's rac�x�� as we11 as new office spaces. Thc intent of the expansion is twofold: 1) to better serve the church men�bers with an inviting worship environment that more closely aligns with their religious values and mission and 2) to better serve the public with a venue that wi11 be designed to permit community use. The church is committed to remaining on the present site and strengthening tk�e relationship to its community. The commitment can be seen by its efforts to support Roseville's Comprehensive P1an in the following ways: 1) The church's decision to develop the current site to its fullest potential ensure that Prince of Peace wi11 remain a strong and vital presence ��1 the ycars ahead. 2) In many ways, the presence of a vital religious institution such as Prince of Peace can bc viewed as an asset strengthening the quality of life for a11 Roseville, church members and community alike. Prince of Peace supports programs within its facilities such as Lake Ridge Day Care, Tomorrow's Kids Montessori School, summer n�usic camp, basketball league, League of Women Voters, etc. 3) The church is committed to supporting Roseville's efforts to make the city as pedestrian friendly as possible. Towards this end, they have worked with the city in providing access along the shoreline of Be�zn�tt Lake for a walking path as we11 as access to the path from the church parking area. This current project wi11 extend the city sidewalk along the Victoria �trce� frontagc of recently aequircd property to the south. Setback: The new facility is entirely within the setback requirements along the nearest property line to the east at Victoria Street toward the west side of the property; an existing garage structure that straddlcs the bluff li�ie setback wi11 be rcmovcd allowing that area to be landscaped. Building Height: The main 1eve1 of the new worship space wi11 equal that of tlie existing main (upper} 1cvc1. In order to accommodate an cxisting pipe organ, tllc top of roof structure over the worship area wi11 be 32'-8" above the main 1eve1. A spire (not inhabited space) located to the northeast comer of the worship addition will rise 56'-4" . feet above the main 1eve1.
