O <br /> O O <br /> ti <br /> CITY of ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> `9kESS0 NO. .50 2 1.3 <br /> 3. St. Edwards was originally granted Council approval for a building permit for a <br /> church on the property in 1966. The church building was subsequently constructed, <br /> and has been in use as a church since 1967. However, City records indicate no <br /> formal CUP was ever granted for the church use. The church building was destroyed <br /> by fire in April 2002, and the congregation has decided to rebuild in the same <br /> location using the existing foundation. <br /> 4. The church was granted a CUP to permit the use of a day care/pre-school in July <br /> 1987,making use of lower level spaces in the church building.That CUP remains in <br /> effect. <br /> 5. The existing/proposed building location is centered on this 4+ acre property, and <br /> meets all pertinent building setback requirements. The building location is more than <br /> 26'from delineated wetlands in the NE and NW corners of the site. Reconstruction <br /> of a church building on the same foundation is acceptable subject to confirmation by <br /> the applicant that the foundation can structurally support the proposed new building. <br /> 6. Parking for the church use is regulated in terms of minimum number of spaces and <br /> location. The number of stalls is determined by the seating capacity of the main <br /> assembly room, at a rate of 1 stall per 4 seats. The main worship area has seating <br /> designated for 143 persons,with an overflow area for an additional 40,totaling 183 <br /> persons: <br /> Main Assembly Room Seating Capacity: 183 <br /> Required Parking Stalls per Seat: 0.25 <br /> Required Parking Stalls: 46 <br /> Proposed Parking: 59 Stalls <br /> The current parking lot has approximately 80 stalls; the westerly parking wing is <br /> proposed to be converted to a bituminous turnaround and a meditation garden. The <br /> Cityhas no past parking issues with St. Edwards, and the proposed parking reduction <br /> will still yield a conforming number of stalls. <br /> Section 10.61, Subd. 5(A), requires that "open parking spaces on lots must have a <br /> location other than a required yard except that such parking may be located in a rear <br /> yard to within ten feet of an interior side lot line and to within ten feet of a rear lot <br /> line." The existing parking lot ranges from 10' to 15' from the southerly lot line. <br /> While the south lot line is a side lot line and not a rear lot line, parking is not <br /> proposed to be relocated.The City is aware of no past issues with the parking on this <br /> site. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
