4) Fire Department access · Need to be able to access building · Need turnaround for fire tracks Resolution - Reduced building footprint enabled access from interior of site · New turnaround capable of being accommodated with new driveway/parking lot configuration 5) Noise - from pre-school Resolution - Determined not to be an issue to closest neighbors - Pre Preferred aesthetic improvements and visibility along National Park Road - Church has no plans to increase enrollment As a part of this process it was also discovered that the neighborhood did not oppose the inclusion of an outdoor courtyard, which was part of the Church's original plan. A key point which emerged during this meeting was the neighbors' belief that the Church would not need to provide 'excess' parking on-site, which would in turn allow for the conversion of paved parking areas to landscaped open space. The Church had proposed providing 104 parking spaces as part of the master plan whereas only 75 spaces would be required by Code. The Church had proposed this extra parking in an effort to ensure that it could accommodate all parking on-site so as not to result in Church parking on the streets and in the neighborhood. Since this was not an issue with the neighbors, the deletion of 29 parking spaces allowed for a reconfiguration of the site plan to reduce the amount of parking next to the residences and to increase the separation of the remaining parking lot from the homes. Tim Mattheis developed a revised plan and staff wrote revised conditions of approval reflecting the discussions at the first meeting. The stakeholders reconvened on August 26, 2005. The five representatives from St. Clare's Episcopal Church attended: Mr. Tim Mattheis - Architect, Mr. Dennis Loyer, Mr. Peter Jackson - a St. Clare's and Mason's Temple Board member, Mr. Louis Schiano, and Mr. Dave Willmore. Representatives for the Valley Trails Neighborhood Association included Mr. Bill Dawe, Ms. Sharon Dawe, Mr. Ted Crowton, and Mr. Carl Pretzel and Ms. Connie Cox. Several additional Valley Trails residents also attended to observe the process. The group reviewed the alternate plan and the draft conditions of approval reflecting the points of agreement taken from the August 18 joint meeting. The color sketch is attached as a part of Attachment 4 along with the August 26 summary notes. The plan shows the success of this process in that both parties were able to find exciting solutions that met the goals of the stakeholders. SR:05:244 Page 6
