TO: PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: SONYA WATTERS, ASSOCIATE CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: CHERRY LANE CHRISTIAN CHURCH (CUP-07-013)
COMMISSION HEARING DATE: AUGUST 2, 2007
DATE: 8/2/2007
CC: CITY CLERK, CALEB HOOD, BILL NARY, TED BAIRD, STEVE PARDEW
The Planning Department is requesting that the Conditional Use Permit request for Cherry Lane Christian Church that is scheduled for the August 2, 2007 Commission meeting be continued
to the September 6, 2007 meeting. The reason for continuance is that we are waiting for ACHD’s report to include in the staff report. The Commission indicated at the public hearing on
July 19th that they wanted to review ACHD’s staff report prior to making a decision on the Applicant’s CUP request. Please note the following e-mail from Gary Inselman, regarding the
reasons for the delay in the issuance of ACHD’s report:
Sonya,
As I told you on the phone, ACHD met with Steve Pardew of BRS and Patrick Dobie of Dobie Engineering on July 30th. At that meeting we went through a DRAFT ACHD staff report based on
earlier meetings with BRS and a representative of the Church. At those earlier meetings it appeared that everyone was in substantial agreement with the DRAFT ACHD site specific conditions
of approval.
At the July 30th meeting new information was presented by Mr. Dobie and new requests were made on behalf of the Church by Mr. Pardew and Mr. Dobie. They have objected to the majority
of the DRAFT findings and site specific conditions of approval in the DRAFT staff report. Therefore, ACHD must now consider the new information provided and re-evaluate the application
taking this information into consideration and draft a new staff report. When that has been completed, we will schedule another meeting with the applicant to discuss the application
and the new ACHD staff report.
Some of the items Mr. Dobie objected to on behalf of the Church from the prior DRAFT staff report include:
~construction of turn lanes to serve the Church driveways
~restriction of two driveways to right-in/right-out
~restriction of access to commercial street along west property line despite no access proposed in application
~restriction of number of access points to Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road
~dedication of right-of-way along Ten Mile Road and Franklin Road for future expansion necessary to serve growth in the area
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Gary Inselman
