Woods Lot #2 – Buildable Area Amendment (Items 1 & 2)

• Request to amend the buildable area of an existing lot, adding area to the side/rear and removing area from the side yard
• Purpose: accommodate a detached accessory structure (additional garage) near existing driveway
• Discussion of approximately 3 trees near the proposed buildable area expansion and potential construction impacts
• Tree protection conditions considered: ISA standards, increased setback by 1 foot, and/or required replacement trees in a protected area
• Noticing error discovered: The address in the packet materials did not match the address on the public hearing notice/postcard; confirmed the postcard and public hearing notice were correct, but the street number in the packet was inconsistent and needed correction

Zone Map Amendment – Rear Parcel Rezone (Item 3)

• Request to rezone the rear portion of a parcel from Public zone to R-110 (residential)
• Front portion of parcel to remain Public zone; a new seminary building is being constructed there (replacing an existing chapel)
• Church is selling the rear portion to the applicant for a residential subdivision
• Discussion of a stormwater drain crossing the property, originating near 39 S, and its outfall into a natural area
• City engineer is aware; civil plans for both the new building and subdivision will address stormwater management
• Discussion of road/access: a private street will run through the Public-zoned seminary portion to serve the rear residential lots
• Clarification that road zoning does not affect its use as access infrastructure; future ownership/maintenance responsibility noted as a concern but deferred
• Confirmed applicant specifically requested R-110 (no indication of intent to request R-28 or R-210)

Noticing Discrepancy

A commissioner identified that the address listed in the packet for Woods Lot #2 differed from the public hearing notice and postcard sent to neighbors. After review, it was confirmed the postcard and public hearing notice were correct; the error was only in the packet. Out of an abundance of caution, the Commission opted to continue the hearing and re-notice.

Public Comment Referenced

A written comment from a neighboring resident (name not recorded in transcript) raised concerns about stormwater and flood mitigation related to the storm drain on the rezone parcel. Staff noted the city engineer has met with the applicant regarding this issue.

Context – Rezone Parcel

The existing chapel on the front of the parcel is planned to be demolished; a seminary is being relocated/constructed in its place. The rear portion is being sold for residential development.
