O CITY of ORONO <br /> r �> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> NO. 348 ' <br /> xo¢�G <br /> s <br /> A. Applicants were granted a conditional use permit for church use in 1970 <br /> on this 1.3 acre property. A church building and parking lot were <br /> subsequently constructed. <br /> B. In 1970 a parking lot was proposed to include 52 parking stalls to meet <br /> the City requirement for 1 stall per 4 persons based on a 200 person <br /> capacity building. That parking lot was constructed somewhat smaller <br /> than the proposed plan. <br /> C. Church use has expanded to a level where parking overflows onto Togo <br /> Road which is extremely narrow and not suited for parking. <br /> D. The proposed parking lot expansion will add approximately 4,850 s.f. of <br /> parking area which will accomodate at least 13 additional vehicles if <br /> properly striped. <br /> E. The proposed parking lot expansion increases hardcover on the property <br /> from 35% to 43%, where only 35% would be allowed in the 500-1,000' <br /> hardcover setback zone. <br /> F. The parking lot will add to the runoff accumulation from the 30 acre <br /> watershed upstream from a deteriorated drain tile on the adjacent <br /> property. Per the City Engineer's recommendation, it would be <br /> appropriate that the applicants improve drainage by construction of a <br /> swale or culvert along applicants' east property line to alleviate the <br /> potential for flooding of the adjacent property. <br /> G. Applicants applied for and were granted a building permit for a 10'x11' <br /> coat room addition and 14'x18' carport in December 1993. The <br /> inspections department erroneously did not call out the need for a <br /> conditional use permit, which normally would be required for such <br /> additions to a church in a residential zone. <br /> H. Those additions were constructed and the caiport was constructed to <br /> extend 22' east from the existing church building rather than the 14' <br /> approved plan, and therefore extended to a point 47' from the east <br /> property line where a 50' setback would normally be required for a <br /> church structure existing as a conditional use permit in a residential zone. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> Fa 5005 Disk 0' <br />
