Irl <br />MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MARCH 21, 1988 <br />i1254 TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH <br />2060 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH <br />CONDITIONAL USE. PERMIT/VARIANCES <br />PUBLIC HEARING 9:07-9:31 <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing <br />were noted. <br />Present for this matter were: John Lundquist, immediate <br />past President of the Congregation, and Craig Moleski of <br />Trinity Lutheran Church, and Dick Brownlee, architect <br />for this project. <br />Jacobs explained the proposed commercial site plan and <br />request for conditional use permit for the existing non- <br />conforming use and setback variance for the proposed <br />parking lot expansion. <br />Regarding the requirement of installing sprinkler system <br />in the church, Jacobs stated that a variance cannot be <br />granted to this requirement because it is a State <br />Building Code requirment which the City has adopted. <br />Mr. Lundquist stated that it was his understanding that <br />a variance could be granted to the SBC requirement. He <br />felt it would be unrealistic and unfair to impose this <br />requirement because of the lack of public water to this <br />sit•. He noted that the new design will have an <br />enhanced pedestrian travel flow within the building so <br />that the ability to get in and out in case of an <br />emergency will be better than currently exists. <br />Chairman Kelley stated that the Planning Commission <br />could not decide on this issue, it would have to be <br />addressed by the City's legal staff and Council. <br />Bellows noted that no future day ca-� use would be <br />allowed without installing a sprinkler system. <br />Bellows noted the issue of th existing septic system <br />that has not been documented but is expected to be found <br />as substandard in size and design for the proposed <br />addition. She c:id not feel this plF could be approved <br />without these facts. <br />Mr. Lundquist noted the use of the church would not <br />necessarily increase with this addition. <br />Gaffron stated the septic system was a concern and staff <br />will require soil testing and system design be submitted <br />and approved by the City prior to issuance of any permit. <br />for the building additions. <br />13 <br />
