Public Hearing to review a Site Plan ubmitted by the Central Point Assembiv Chairman Piland opened the public hearing. There were no ex-parte communications. Commissioner Fish declared a conflict of interest and withdrew to the audience. Tom Humphrey reviewed the Planning Department Staff Report. He explained that this is a proposal for the expansion of the Assembly of God Church on North 10"' Street. Based on the area of all the buildings this application would potentially require 184 parking spots. Because the church does not plan to occupy all the buildings at the same time the commission may consider one of three calculations for the number of parking spots and may also allow the City of Central Point Planning Commission Minutes June 16, 1998 -Page 2 applicant to phase the parking over time. The first Phase could involve repaving the current parking lot (40 spaces) and creating an additional 39 spaces. The second phase area will be covered with crushed rock. As that area begins to fill, it will be paved and the phase 3 area will be covered with crushed rock and eventually paved. The letter from Fire District 3 was distributed to the commission and identified the need for additional fire hydrants in the vicinity of the church expansion. Tom Humphrey explained that on the first public notice for this application, the City failed to notify 4 people. Not all of these people could be reached by telephone prior to the meeting. Tom recommended to the Commission that public comments be taken in this meeting and the record be left open which will enable the City to notify the people that were not previously notified and the application will continue to the next Planning Commission. Lee Brennan reviewed the Public Works Staff Report. Lee stated that the city will work with the applicant to get access to the storm drain system associated with Willow Glen Apartment Development. Jeff Anderson, 361 No. 3'd Street, Central Point, applicant, stated they are working to secure rights from Willow Glen Apartment Development to use the private lane for ingress and egress of the third phase parking and access to the storm drain between their two properties. Tom Humphrey explained that the church wanted to end the parking at the planters on the north side of phases 2 and 3 so they can extend the open space area of an outdoor amphitheater they are currently using. Commissioner Johnson asked the applicant whether, if needed in the future, the area on the north side of the parking lot Phase 2 and 3 could be turned into a parking area and be called Phase 4. Applicant, Mr. Anderson, stated that would be satisfactory. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to continue the Public Hearing on the Site Plan submitted by the Central Point Assembly of God Church to construct a new sanctuary on property located east of the intersection of North 10"' and Maple Streets to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission on July 7, 1998. Commissioner Gilkey seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Dunlap, yes; Fish, abstain; Foster, yes; Gilkey, yes; Johnson, yes. City of Central Point Planning Commission Minutes June 16, 1998 -Page 3 B.

Mr. Gamble stated that a proposed detention pond will be larger and will be on 2 lots. He stated that in Phase 2 of the subdivision, they will change the channel and rip rap the corner so it will not wash away.
