Memo to the Mayor and City Council/CU 97-23 October 20, 1997 Page 2 site is approximately 344. In addition to the parking stalls on Central Lutheran's property, the Lions Park parking area which is immediately to the south has been used during peak services. This shared parking arrangement between the church and the city has presented no problems in the past and the two uses appear to be an excellent complementary use. Parking Improvements Last year, Central Lutheran Church made several improvements to their parking lot on the east side of the building. Along with this building expansion staff is recommending similar improvements be made to the west parking lot. These improvements will consist of wrapping the perimeter of the parking lot with curb and gutter with the exception of the western edge of the parking lot which is adjacent to some existing mature pine trees. Fire Hydrant Originally, the Fire Chief recommended an additional fire hydrant be provided on site for further fire protection purposes. Upon further review, the Fire Chief has withdrawn his recommendation, realizing the site has adequate fire hydrants around the perimeter to provide the adequate fire protection. Recommendation It is recommended the City Council approve the conditional use permit for Central Lutheran Church to expand the existing church facility and make various site improvements with the following conditions: CONTACT WITH ELK RIVER MUNICIPAL UTILITIES SHOULD BE MADE REGARDING THE RELOCATION OF THE TRANSFORMER PAD. PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE EXTENDING CURB AND GUTTER THROUGHOUT THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THE PARKING LOT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WESTERN-MOST EDGE ADJACENT TO THE EXISITNG PINE TREES. 3. ALL DISTURBED AREAS BE EITHER SEEDED OR SODDED. FOUR COMPLETE SETS OF PLANS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT. \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\council\cu97-23.doc
