Revised Plan The master site plan now depicts the retention of the existing driveway from Valley Trails Drive, a reconfiguration of the existing parking, a reduction of the parking from 104 spaces to 75 spaces, the provision of Fire Department access in the parking area, the provision of a 3'-6" high berm at the interface between the residences and the new Phase II parking area with a minimum width of 23 feet enlarging up to 35 feet, the creation of a permanent 'memorial garden' located at the northern end of the Phase III Administration building, the creation of a new courtyard, and a reconfigured Phase II worship area along with a new cross tower. Comments related to some of the more significant revisions are as follows: · The redesign of the worship area has resulted in added square footage to the building from 9,950 square feet to 10,900 square feet but does not the increase the number of seats. The maximum number of seats remains at 450. · The memorial garden is considered to be a sacred area for the Church and a place where members may be provided solitude and quiet with their prayers and thoughts. Since this feature is so important, the representatives assured the group that if placed in that location, there would be no future plans to move it or replace it with any other use such as a driveway to National Park Road. · A courtyard has successfully been designed into the plan, recovering a significant design feature for the Church. · Pedestrian access has been achieved along the Valley Trails frontage, providing more visibility and an entry statement. · The existing driveway location is maintained. · A Cross Tower has been added as a new feature to announce the Church to the community and provide additional streetscape visibility. The attached Exhibit A reflects a more detailed rendition of the color sketch reviewed and supported at the August 26, 2005 joint meeting. SR:05:244 Page 7
