Commissioner Kumazan stated that he feels the proposed driveway is too close to Mr. Ferguson's home. He agrees with Commissioner Barker that some additional landscaping and/or other type of calming device should be included in order to mitigate the sound and pollution problems for Mr. Ferguson. He will support the application with the conditions noted above. Commissioner Wright stated that he agrees with Reverend Danielson's position relating to the trash enclosure and feels that staffs Condition 72 should be deleted. With regazd to Saturday hours, he supports staff recommendation for a Monday through Friday scheduled, specifically excluding Saturday hours. A brief discussion was held regarding Saturday hours. Reverend Danielson stated that he would only anticipate the need for Saturday hours if the project were behind schedule. In addition, he stated that indoor construction on Saturdays would probably not be disturbing to any of the neighbors. Chair Cooper stated that he does not believe that trees are any more of a danger on a playground than playground equipment and suggests including the trees in the pazking lot since it will be a while before the school is built. However, he agrees to use asphalt curbing which can be more easily removed, if necessary. With regard to the lighting, he stated that a few of the lights should be left on during the night for safety reasons. However, he agrees that the rest of the lights should be on a timer and turned off at a reasonable hour. In addition, Chair Cooper agreed with Mr. Friends that Armstrong and Eilene Streets should be included in the traffic monitoring. He also stated that he agrees with the applicant that a trash cover should not be required for the existing trash area, but he does recommend a cover for the new trash azea. - Chair Cooper also agrees that there will be a lot of additional traffic that will affect Mr. Ferguson and that additional landscaping and calming devices should be provided to mitigate his impact. He specifically requested that the Condition be modified to include that suggestion. He also feels that the driveway should be moved as far north as possible. He further noted that he prefers that construction take place on Monday through Friday only, and that Saturday hours be considered only in an emergency situation. However, he agrees with Reverend Danielson that indoor construction on Saturdays will have minimal, if any, impact on the neighbors. Chair Cooper would also like for the City Council to allocate funding as soon as possible for the improvements on Stoneridge Drive. In summary, he stated that he is impressed with the design and feels the church and school will be a wonderful asset to the community, and he would like the project to move forward. Commissioner Dove recommended that staff contact the neighbors surrounding St. Augustine Parish to find out the impact from their entrance driveway. He stated that he believes the driveway is not more than 25 feet from any property line. Mr. Iserson agreed to do so. A motion was made by Commissioner Barker, seconded by Commissioner Kumaran, recommending approval of Z-97-310, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit "B", except with the following Condition amendments: Planning Commission Page 15 February 25, 1998
