Chairman Nash stated that since this is a church then any open space would probably be considered public. She asked if there were any wooded areas or flood plain on the property. Mr. Becker answered that there are no wooded areas and he doesn't think there is a flood plain there. Chairman Nash stated that they need to check on that. She asked if they had submitted notification to adjoining property owners. Mr. Bunn answered, yes, they put a ad in the paper and the staff has a copy of it. Chairman Nash noted that Mickey Jackson suggested at Plat Review that they look at the potential advantages of putting in a sprinkler system; she asked if they are considering that. Mr. Becker answered that they are still considering it, but he doubts that they will. In answer to a question from Chairman Nash, Mr. Becker stated that the basement if poured concrete and not wood frame. Chairman Nash noted that the Plat Review minutes are not correct. Chairman Nash asked the City Engineer to clarify what the Plat Review minutes are saying about the easement associated with the sewer.

The driveway on the north side is about as far north as they want to go because there is some sight distance considerations there too. Commissioner Springborn asked if moving that driveway would take out three parking spaces. Mr. Becker stated that they would put them on the other side so the quantity of spaces would stay the same. Chairman Nash asked if there are any streets or driveways on the other side of Crossover Road from this and how do these driveways line up. Mr. Becker stated that he doesn't know but all of Crossover Road has a very unsafe traffic condition. Even with the driveway in the best position, pulling out will be dangerous. Chairman Nash asked him to show the driveways on the plat by Monday night to show if there are any that line up with this. She advised that in the past they have had discussions about how drives are lined up across from each other and the visibility and the traffic situation. This would be a planning consideration rather than subdivision. In answer to a question from Commissioner Springborn, Mr. Becker stated that he had not talked to the traffic engineer about the possibility of putting a "dangerous intersection" sign on the north side of the property at the Wyman Road intersection but hopefully he would consider either additional posting of the speed limit signs or something. Chairman Nash asked if off-site improvements or land dedication applied to this. Mr. Bunn answered, no.
