MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 10, 1994 ( #10) #1964 CALVARY MEMORIAL CHURCH, 2420 DUNWOODY AVENUE - • VARIANCE - RESOLUTION #3480 Hurr voiced concern over the magnitude of the variance regarding signage size and the possibility of others wanting the same. The variances required include square footage for an individual sign (12 s.f allowed where 45 s.f is proposed) and site signage square footage (24 s.f. allowed where 148 s.f is proposed) as well as a maximum height of sign variance of 9' where 8' is allowed__ Gaffron said, while the possibility of others requesting larger signs is there, he felt the request was in line when location was taken as a factor. The church is located on Dunwoody and County Road 15 along a generally commercial roadway but is in a residential zone. Commercial properties are allowed one square foot of signage per foot of frontage. This property would be allowed much more signage than is requested if it was zoned commercial. Hurr moved, Jabbour seconded, to adopt Resolution #3480 granting a variance to Calvary Memorial Church for additional signage. Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( #11) #1967 K -P PROPERTIES/ROBERT OLSON, 4645 BAYSIDE ROAD - PRELOMARY SUBDIVISION Gaffron explained this is a request to split off one 2.75 acre lot with an existing residence from a 17.5 acre parcel, excluding the Geffre property. The original plan was for five lots plus the Olson and Geffre properties. The Planning Commission offered the applicant • either tabling or denial the application due to an incomplete plan. The applicant requested denial so the matter could move along to the Council since Mr. Olson and the buyer of his house wish to close on the property soon. Mr. Peterson, the contract purchaser, noted the original six -lot plan was revised to five lots with four building lots due to septic system configuration problems. The 14 acre Outlot could be served with a roadway to the east through the Olson property or there is a possibility for a road to the west also. Peterson's concern is with the time span for the Olson's purchase agreement closing on or about 11/15/94. Peterson said the three conditions the Planning Commission did not agree with for a temporary variance have been modified. The frontage on Bayside Road of 187' was changed to 201' and rear setback for the existing house was changed from 33' to 51', now meeting the requirements. The other condition was a lack of a formal agreement with Geffre for a road through his property. A road platting agreement has now been signed by Geffre. Callahan asked the Council members for their comments, and if they wished to hear the plan. Jabbour would like the input of the Planning Commission, but since this was a preliminary approval, he would agree to hear the plan. Hurr felt if the conditions had been met and if staff was comfortable with that, she also would look at it. Callahan remarked about the Planning Commission not having complete information and was hesitant to look at a plan that had been denied. Goetten said this has been done • previously. It was agreed upon to look at the plan. s
