With respect to the current one-way flow in the parking lot, Chairperson Fox inquired whether either the 98-space or 122-space scenario would allow a definite one-way flow. Mr. Mattheis replied that the perpendicular parking provided for a more efficient use of the space and required a 25-foot-wide drive aisle in order to accommodate the movement. The perpendicular parking would make it difficult to regulate which direction a person would go; the best way would be with diagonal parking, and to accommodate the same number of cars, a larger space would be needed. He noted that signage and legends on the pavement could direct traffic in a particular direction. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Blank noted that during the 1999 hearing, page 3 of the staff report under Project Description stated that the 1999 Master Plan did not have a date stamp indicating receipt by the Planning Department. He noted the following language in the staff report "Although not being reviewed as part of this application, the applicant has submitted a revised master site plan which shows the location of the future freestanding preschool building to the north of the existing Church, addition of classrooms (adult education) to the church building, and new parking spaces where the existing modulars are located." He believed that the Master Plan never being submitted explained why the Commission took no action on the Master Plan document He inquired whether it had been subsequently submitted. Ms. Decker understood that the Master Plan was requested by staff at that time as a function of trying to determine what the ultimate program plan was for the Church. She commented it was likely that they had proposed a plan. Staff then indicated they wanted it to be revised, and the Master Plan had a handwritten "1999 Master Plan" noted on the plan which was attached as a part of the project to ilhistrate future development. Co~mnissioner Blank noted that from reading the 1999 Plan, he perceived that it was not submitted as a revision to the Master Plan but was an application for a Conditional Use Permit and design review for the sanctuary expausial. Ms. llecker noted that this was correct. A discussion of the 1999 Master Plan ensued, and Commissioner Blank noted that there was no opposition from the neighborhoods at that time. COInmISSloner Olson expressed concern about Golden Road and believed there was a safety issue to address. He suggested restricting exits from the building parking lot to aright-turn-only, and that no left turn to IIopyard would be allowed. IIe further suggested restricting left turns off of Golden Road for h•affic heading west into the parking lot, and installing a median strip in the middle of Golden Road that would be high enough to restrict the left turn. Ike believed that may mitigate some of the traffic volume on Golden Road. Ms. Decker noted that staff had shuggled in an effort to accommodate the traffic challenges and noted that parishioners who lived to the north and east would travel to the site using Del Valle Parkway or Greenwood Road and Golden Road or Harvest Road. from the westerly portion of the City, they would likely use Hopyard Road. In restricting traffic, she noted that would impact the neighborhood on the easterly side because traffic would come through Greenwood Road, Harvest Road, and Golden Road, which would require exiting in that same direction, increasing EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, January 2a, 2007 Page 10 of 12
