neighborhood. She also noted that if the situation between the Swim Club and the church is bad she would ask that the church send some members to sit down with the Swim Club Board to work through things. She indicated the parking lot could be decreased quickly by having an agreement with the Swim Club. She hopes they can work something out. Councilmember McGovern noted that when a church is in a community you can't limit what services they offer due to the needs in the community. The Sonshine Preschool is very valuable to the community and if Option #3 hurts the licensing of the preschool, she does not think she could live with herself. She questioned if there might be some other way to work through the parking space issue. She concluded by stating she is leaning toward Option #1 at this point because Option #3 would be covering the whole piece of property with driveways and parking lots. Staff pointed out the three additional conditions added by the Planning Commission which would be applicable to any of the options chosen. Councilmember McGovern noted she read the Planning Commission minutes in 1999 and she was surprised to see not one member speak during the public hearing. She clarified that the neighborhood has been noticed of that meeting. Councilmember McGovern noted Commissioners Maas and Roberts were both concerned about the u-turn on Del Valle at that time. Commissioner Maas indicated she would support closing off the Del Valle Parkway driveway and entering the parking lot only from Golden. Commissioner Roberts had expressed perhaps sending it to the Traffic Committee because of the relating issues of ingress and egress of the church in that area. Councilmember Sullivan indicated his motion would include the two additional conditions imposed by the Planning Commission regarding temporary conditional use permits and that the condition be revised and allow the conditional use permit to be valid for 18 months. The condition to require an unpaved but maintained pathway would be stricken. Mayor Hosterman indicated her support of Option #3 noting that it makes for a good compromise. She noted she liked giving the church and the congregation the opportunity to move forward with the project. She liked the configuration of existing parking and the opportunity to maintain the parking as it is on either side of the site as it supports the conditions of not allowing a second access from this parking lot onto Golden as well as not allowing for access between those two parking lots that are adjacent to one another on Golden. She indicated it is a safety issue for children who are on the church site and does not create an opportunity for people to take that access faster than they should. She commented on the difficulty of balancing the interests of all parties. It is difficult for the Council to make these decisions. She indicated she will support Option #3.
