The Dennis Batty & Associates Group architects & engineers incorporated June 18,2004 WRITTEN NARRATIVE IN SUPPORT OF APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT For Real Life Church 2353 North Chatsworth Roseville, MN 55113 Proposed Pro_ject Description Real Life Church proposes to build an addition to their existing church building on their current property, which totals about seven acres. The proposed addition will include a new worship center that will seat 408 persons, a small expansion of the current lobby, and new restrooms. The proposed addition is essentially a single level addition except for corridor, storage room and stair that will allow a second exit out of the existing lower level. The total area of the proposed addition will be about 10,000 square feet. The existing build contains about 12,000 square feet so that the size of the facilitieswith the new addition will total about 22,000 square feet. Additional paved parking will be developed as part of the project. The current site contains 48 parking spaces. An additional 78 spaces are being proposed as a part of this proj ect, bringing the total number of parking spaces to 126. The total number of spaces required for the project as sized is 117, which is calculated as follows. 408 seats divided by 3.5 seats per space equals 117 spaces. The site plan also shows the potential of another 18 spaces that can be provided on the present site and is designated as future parking. Materials on the existing building exterior are brick masonry with white wood or metal trim and glass in aluminum frames. The proposed addition although a different shape than the existing building will be designed to blend with the existing structure by using both compatible materials and colors. At the time this application is being submitted, the church is looking at using eitherte�ured precast concrete panels as the main material for the worship center, or a combination of brick and integrally colored decorative concrete block. We believe the proposed addition fits well on the existing site and also is a good fit for the neighborhood.
