The standard requirement for overflow structures is 1-1.5 ft. in elevation from the grass swale to any door or home opening. Motion by Williams, seconded by Gunderman, to APPROVE THE INNSBRUCK PARK ESTATES STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. City Planner Emy Mattila presented for consideration the site plan review for Salem Baptist Church, 2351 Rice Creek Road, 560 sq. ft. addition to the youth house. The applicant requests the original special use permit be amended to allow the expansion for a meeting room for teenagers and the existing sign remain. The house has been in existence for 13 years and there have been no complaints. It is setback 5 ft. from the adjacent easterly lot which the church is in the process of purchasing. The church intents to rent this home out as a residence with no intention of combining this property with the church parcel. The youth house would then be located adjacent to a single family home owned by the church. The fact that in 1982 the City allowed the applicant to convert the original single family home to a youth house without a setback variance contributes a unique twist. The undue hardship would not relate to physical lot characteristics, but would be on the fmding that the property cannot be put to a reasonable use if the variance were denied. If the variance is granted, it would not be detrimental to adjacent properties. Samuelson asked for an explanation of its current use. Mattila confirmed that the current use involves classrooms on Sundays and Wednesdays for youth education. The proposed use would be a meeting room for youth. Pastor Paul Widen, Salem Church, said the church wants to provide a position impact on youth lives which will keep them out of the judicial system and offer counseling and a safe place. The house is called "The Bridge" and would reach out to young people. The church recently hired a youth minister to assist with this program. Samuelson wished the church luck in their endeavors. Benke said the original agreement noted Sunday and Wednesday operations and asked if this will continue. Mattila said the proposed agreement states the days and hours of operation to be Sunday mornings and evenings and Wednesday evenings. Benke noted that Pastor Widen has agreed to help with a joint venture with other community and church leaders to assist the youth in the community. Gunderman commended the Church for their efforts. Williams said at the Planning Commission meeting, the adjacent neighbors were supportive, but one neighbor asked for realignment of some lighting. Widen will investigate.
