Case #6: Request for Site Plan Review to Expand the Grace Community Bible <br /> Church; Case of Grace Community Bible Church <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik advised that Grace Community Bible Church has applied for site plan <br />approval to construct a 3,600 square foot addition to the church facility located at 6341 167th <br />Avenue N.W. She reported that a church structure and parsonage currently exist on the subject <br />property. The exterior facing finish on the church addition is proposed to be cedar siding with an <br />asphalt shingle roof, which is in compliance with Code and compatible with the existing structures <br />on the property. The subject property is 10 acres in size and the total square footage of the church, <br />parsonage and addition does not even approach the 25% lot coverage restriction. The addition <br />exceeds all of the standard yard setback requirements. Ms. Frolik noted that the addition to the <br />church is not precipitated by an increase in membership, and therefore, no additional off-street <br />parking is required. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer noted that, according to the site plan, the future expansion to the south (not <br />the proposed expansion) will not meet the front yard setback if this plan is to scale. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Hendriksen to recommend that <br />City Council approve the site plan for the expansion of the Grace Community Bible Church. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bawden, Commissioners Deemer, Hendriksen, LaDue, <br />and Thorud. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Holland and Terry. <br /> <br />Case g7: Request for Sketch Plan Review of Riverview Bowl; Case of Super <br /> Bowl, Inc. <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik reported that Super Bowl, Inc. is requesting sketch plan review of a <br />minor subdivision to be named Riverview Bowl. This subdivision is a replat of commercial Lots <br />1, 2, 6 and 7, Block 4, Riverside West into one commercial lot and two residential lots. She <br />explained that the Super Bowl structure currently occupies portions of Lots 1, 2, 6 and 7, and the <br />purpose of the plat is to achieve one large commercial lot to accommodate the Super Bowl facility <br />and plat the remainder of the property into two residential lots. All lots in the proposed plat exceed <br />the minimum area and width requirements for commercial and residential lots in the urban district, <br />and the Super Bowl structure will meet all required setbacks from property lines. However, City <br />Code also requires that all commercial uses maintain a 40-foot yard from residential uses. <br />Therefore, it may be necessary to move the north property line of the residential lot shown as <br />Parcel "B" to the south to provide a 40-foot yard between the blacktop lot and volleyball court on <br />the south and southeast sides of the Super Bowl. <br /> <br />Lyle Spake, Counselor Realty, stated that the surveyor had a problem with the 40-foot yard <br />setback. The volleyball court is comprised of sand and timbers, it is not a structure. Mr. Spake <br />advised that if the court has to be moved, he will lose the sale. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bawden questioned whether the volleyball court is considered a structure, and Ms. <br />Frolik replied that it is a use, and the setback requirement relates to the use. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer stated that the purpose of the setback is to limit noise from the activity. <br /> <br />Mr. Spake submitted to the Commission a letter he received from Fitzsimonds Builders stating that <br />they would put up fencing to provide a buffer to the residential lots. <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik noted that there is mature tree growth in that area also. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/June 6, 1995 <br /> Page 8 of 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
