MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, January 17, 2017 Council 6:30 o'clock p.m. Exhibit C side setback variance, and to recommend a cover be reduced to 25 percent prior to the application proceeding to th Council. VOTE: Ayes 3, a Berg recused herself. 4. #17-3888 DJ KRANZ COMPANY, INC., ON BEHALF OF GOOD SHEPHERD LUTHERAN CHURCH, 3745 SHORELINE DRIVE, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, 6:58 P.M. — 7:09 P.M. Bruce Quam, DJ Kranz Company, Inc., was present. Gaf -ron stated the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for expansion of the existing church building in order to construct an 18' x 24' two-story addition for storage, office and kitchen facilities. The addition requires a conditional use permit since the church operates as a conditional use. The proposed addition requires no variances as all setbacks, hardcover, and other zoning requirements will be met. The building plans submitted depict the proposed interior layout and exterior finishes. Under consideration by the building official is whether the addition will trigger a requirement for fire suppression sprinkling of the entire building. Staff finds that the proposed addition and associated interior remodeling, along with the proposed landscaping plan that removes an existing detached storage shed, are positive improvements to the property and its use as a place of worship and daycare center. Gaffron displayed the survey of the site and noted a 2 -foot retaining wall is being proposed as part of the landscape plan. Gaffron noted the location of the addition should have no impacts on neighboring properties and the size of the proposed addition is very minor when compared to the size and orientation of the existing building. The slight increase in hardcover will still leave the property well below the 35 percent hardcover limit. While it is anticipated that the improvements will not require increased stormwater ponding, the applicants are advised to contact the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to determine whether any permits are required.
