A church building and parking lot were <br />subsequently constructed. <br />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 />Church use has expanded to a level where parking overflows onto Togo <br />Road which is extremely narrow and not suited for parking. <br />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 />The proposed parkmg 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 />The paricing 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 />Applicants applied for and were granted a building permit for a lO’xll ’ <br />coat room addition and 14’xl8 ’ 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 />Those additions were constructed and the carport was constructed to <br />extend 22 ’ east from the existing church building rather than L*'.e 14 <br />^>proved plan, and therefore extended to a point 47 ’ from *he cast <br />property line where a 50’ setback would normally be requireo for a <br />church structure existing as a conditional use permit in a residential zone. <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />A
