Mr. Pollock turned over the Bills of Assurance for the Street improvements and sidewalk to Sandra Carlisle. • • • Subdivision Committee November 10, 1986 Page 2 Jacks stated Mr. Pollock has pictures of the natural screening on the east, south and west of the property in question. Mr. Pollock said he had submitted a letter asking for a waiver of the screening requirements on the north side of the proposed Fayetteville Bible Church. He said adequate screening existed on the east, south and west side of the property. Farrish asked if the Church had to screen next to a street and Carlisle said the ordinance required screening from R-1 Districts and that the Church was surrounded by R-1 on all sides. Carlisle said she would accept the natural screening on the 3 sides but on the north he was asking for a 10% landscaping in lieu of the screening requirement. Farrish asked if the requirement for screening was view obscuring trees or fencing and Carlisle replied "yes". Carlisle stated the requirement could be waived by the Planning Commission with a substitution of 10% landscaping, 18" high at the time of planting. Farrish asked if the intent was to have a fence along the street to hide a building and Carlisle replied "no". Dow said the existing screening on the east and south were fine but on the west side she wondered if the natural screening was adequate. Jacks asked if there was any other questions other than the screening. Mr. Pollock replied they had to provide an easement for utilites and was reflected on the plat. Green asked if Mt. Comfort was a local street and Carlisle replied it was a collector. Green asked if it would be fair to suspend the street improvement the Church was required to make. Jacks said they would continue to impose the maximum improvements. Carlisle asked if Mr. Pollock had brought proof of notification of adjoining property owners and Mr. Pollock replied he has the signatures but left them at the office. Jacks advised proof of notification would be contingent upon approval, approval would be subject to plat review comments. Green said he did not have a problem with the existing screening on the 3 sides. Dow said she would feel better if there were a stipulation in the motion as to a staff person going out and checking for additional landscaping in between the gaps. Subdivision Committee November 10, 1986 Page 3 Jacks said that would probably be difficult in getting the City to go out and figure out the additional landscaping for the gaps. NOTION Parrish moved to accept the existing landscaping on the south, east and west and recommend a waiver of 10% landscaping on the north to the Planning Commission, approval of the LSD was subject to Plat review comments, contingent upon proof of notification of adjoining property owners and to impose maximum off-site improvements, seconded by Green and the motion to approve the LSD passed unanimously.
