IV. Major Applications
A. Church of Christ - Site and Landscaping Plan
Amy Dunkman of Sinclair and Assoc. presented the application. The Church wishes to add to their parking lot, and there was a brief discussion concerning their having removed some of the proposed spaces illustrated on the submitted plans. She explained that revisions have not been made to the drawn plan, as they are awaiting an encroachment permit and a variance request from DOT, and until they receive that decision they wish to wait to resubmit plans. She referred to Mr. Ben-Yisrael's comment letter, stating there were still some outstanding items until hearing back from DOT. Ms. Clopton asked about landscaping being added. Ms. Sinclair provided more detail about the plan and stated that Red Maples were selected as well as Indian Hawthorns for the additional landscaping. She stated that they were considering additional landscaping as well. Pastor Moten stated the plan was to provide a second entrance/exit to the property.
Motion: Mr. Smith made a motion to approve the application as submitted. Ms. Haga seconded the motion.
Discussion: Mr. Ben-Yisrael stated that there are still outstanding issues with the plans, and Staff has not been able to review any revised drawings. He asked the Board to offer feedback to the applicant but defer action until a future meeting when he has had the opportunity to review revised plans and update his Staff Report. Thus, Mr. Smith withdrew his motion to approve the application, and Ms. Haga withdrew her second of the motion.
Motion: Mr. Smith made a motion to table the application until the following meeting. Ms. Haga seconded the motion.
