PUBLIC HEARINGS 5A Approved Minutes 2 of 3 Meeting of May 16, 2018 A. BEAUTIFUL SAVIOR LUTHERAN CHURCH. (2017100) Chair Anderson introduced the request by Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church for a conditional use permit to allow a columbarium at the south side of the church building located at 5005 Northwest Boulevard. Senior Plaimer Sommers gave an overview of the staff report. Commissioner Oakley asked if similar uses have been approved in the city in the past. Senior Planner Sommers confirmed that there are similar uses in Plymouth. Chair Anderson asked if this would be approval for the first phase or entire project. Senior Planner Sommers replied that this would approve the entire project, in the case that the applicant has the funding to complete the entire project. Planning Manager Thomson replied that the commission could put a time limit on the approval, which would require the applicant to come back to the commission for further approval if the project is not completed in that amount of time. Commissioner Witt asked what would happen if the church were to vacate the property in 20 years, and someone else wanted to purchase the property. She asked if there would be protection of this feature or whether it would be considered a structure. Planning Manager Thomson stated that it would be part of the site and the conditional use permit would remain, therefore the feature could remain. Commissioner Witte stated that this is a beautiful design and setting. He asked if this would be treated the same as a cemetery, and whether a cemetery would qualify for a special exception at this site. He also asked if this would be regulated by the state, similar to a cemetery. Senior Planner Sommers replied that the conditional use permit contains a number of conditions for the applicant to follow. She stated that the city does not have any regulations that require inspection from a health inspector. Commissioner Witte stated that this feature is popping up more in the city without regulations for record keeping or things of that nature. Senior Planner Sommers replied that the city would have a record of the number of spaces available. Chair Anderson introduced Derek Seifert, Anderson Engineering, who stated that he is present to answer any technical questions the commission may have. Chair Anderson opened the public hearing and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the item. Approved Minutes 3 of 3 Meeting of May 16, 2018 Chair Anderson asked for input on phasing. Commissioner Oakley stated that he does not have a concern with phasing and believed it would be more efficient to approve the entire project at once. MOTION by Commissioner Oakley, seconded by Commissioner Vanderlan, to approve the request by Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church for a conditional use permit to allow a columbarium at the south side of the church building located at 5005 Northwest Boulevard. Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION approved. 7. NEW BUSINESS 8. ADJOURNMENT MOTION by Chair Anderson, with no objection, to adjourn the meeting at 7:22 P.M.
