A. B. C. D. E. F. Applicants were granted a conditional use permit for church use in 1970 on this 1.3 acre property. A church building and parking lot were subsequently constructed. In 1970 a parking lot was proposed to include 52 parking stalls to meet the City requirement for 1 stall per 4 persons based on a 200 person capacity building. That parking lot was constructed somewhat smaller than the proposed plan. Church use has expanded to a level where parking overflows onto Togo Road which is extremely narrow and not suited for parking. The proposed parking lot expansion will add approximately 4,850 s.f. of parking area which will accomodate at least 13 additional vehicles if properly striped. The proposed parking lot expansion increases hardcover on the property from 35% to 43%, where only 35% would be allowed in the 500-1,000 ’ hardcover setback zone. The parking lot will add to the runoff accumulation from the 30 acre watershed upstream from a deteriorated drain tile on the adjacent property. Per the City Engineer ’s recommendation, it would be appropriate that the applicants improve drainage by construction of a swale or culvert along applicants’ east property line to alleviate the potential for flooding of the adjacent property. Applicants applied for and were granted a building permit for a lO’xll coat room addition and 14’xl8 ’ carport in December 1993. The inspections department erroneously did not call out the need for a conditional use permit, which nonnally would be required for such additions to a church in a residential zone. Those additions were constructed and the carport was constructed to extend 22’ east from the existing church building rather than the 14’ approved plan, and therefore extended to a point 47 from the east property line where a 50’ setback would normally be required for a church structure existing as a conditional use permit in a residential zone.
