It is my understanding that Councilman Schneider requested inforrna��i�n ��garding the above referenced special use permit appl�cataon. The Ort.hodox Church of the Resurrection of Christ is requestinr� a special use permit to conduct one weekly service between 9 : 00 a.m. and noon on Sundays and on holy days at 1201 Hathaway Lane N.E. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling. The R-1 district requires churches to obtain a special use permit. It also requires that churches comply with the building and site requirements dictated in the CR-1, General Office, district regulations. The petitioner has indicated that the number of participants will be limited to 12 persons. �We are currently in the process of contacting the City Attorney as to whether or not limiting the number of persons by the special use permit is a legal stipulation. This stipulation would also be difficult to enforce. The petitioner has also applied for two variances. The CR-1 district regulations stipulate a minimum lot size of 15, 000 square feet and side yard setback of 15 feet on one side, and if a driveway is provided on the remaining side, a building setback of 30 feet is required. The subject lot is approximately 9, 657 square feet and the existing single family home is located ten feet from the east lot line and 26 feet from the west lot line. The petitioner is also contemplating adding a "chapel addition" at � the rear of the existing home. The addition (18 ' x 18 ' ) would provide .an alter and provide for additional area for the worshipers. To the west of the proposed addition is an unenclosed deck with a porch. It is also my understanding that the petitioner intends to modify the entrance to the home; however, we have not yet received a plan of that design. A " Orthodox Church August 4 , 1989 Page 2 Given the petitioner's intent to limit the number of parishioners to 12 , the ordinance would require four parking spaces. Four cars could be accommodated in the existing driveway in front of the garage. In the alternative, a small four car parking lot could be created to the east side of the garage at the rear of the lot, but it would interfere with the proposed building expansion. Our concerns are that the proposed use is changinq the character of an existing single family home and is located in the center of an established neighborhood. Typically, churches are located on collector streets near major neighborhood intersections and usually contain a fairly large lot area to accommodate parking and the church structure. This case is clearly a departure from our ordinance standards. Given our experiences with the Islamic Center which does have adequate area for parking, authorizing a church on a small single family lot will create traffic and noise impacts. We have advised the petitioner that we will be recommending denial of the special use permit and variance applications.

Barb Dacey City of Fridley Planning Commission Fridley, Mn. 55432 Dear Barb� Enclosed is some information on our church including a recent newspaper article from the St Pau1 Pioneer Press Dispatch. If you find any of this material use�ul to acquaint people about our church, please include it in your file. I also enclose a letter to the neighbors which I would like to send out with your approval. Please let me know if I should add anything to it. Also please feel free to contact me at any time if you need any clarificat ion or further information. I have met with Mr. Dennis Shneider regarding our project. I am disappointed that your staff has recommended a denial of our petition and variances . I think more information on our project will clarify that what we are requesting is not on the same scale as a regular church. Our needs for a house chapel would not be a disruption to the neighborhood or its residential character. There is already another church just two blocks away. We feel that our community being contemplative will be a peaceful asset to the community. I believe that once enough information is received on our community and our plans, it will be clear that we will not increase traffic or noise on Hathaway Lane. Our monastic brothers residence at the other end of Hathaway Lane has for the past eight years been exemplary in crime watching and preserving the quiet of the area. � As f_ar as a precedence for our request we can look back on St. Williams � Church in Fridley which had services in the rectory be�ore the present church was built. � I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter which is essential to our monastic community. I invite you to attend our open house on Aug. � 3th or visit our monastic house at your convenience. Sincerely, T✓� • G��`�i�, Rev.

Enclosed is a brief explanation of our church. The Resurrection Church is part of the Midwest Diocese with the Diocesan office in Chicago. The Resurrection Church is - part of the Eastern Orthodox Church (See enclosed information on the Orthodox Church.) - is under the Diocesan offices in Chicago at the Holy Virgin Cathedral on Kedzie. - is an established parish. - holds services at the Dinkytown location, 601 13th Ave SE., Mpls. ' - will continue to hold services at the Dink town location. Y - has two small monastic communities (monks and nuns) which do community work in the T�ain City area in nursing. - has a monastic residence and rectory in Fridley. The monastic residence of the Resurrection Church is located at 1201 Hathaway Lane. The Resurrection Church has applied to the City of Fridley for a Special Use permit to permit a house chapel at the monastic residence. This house chapel would be used for a church service on holydays and on some Sunday mornings for about two hours. The number of communit members attendin woul y d not re uire street arkin . We do g 9 P g not expect any increase in traffic in the area nor any functions that would be disruptive to the neighborhood. We plan to keep the residential look of the house at 1201 Hathaway Lane with a few decorative changes and an 18-foot expansion over the back yard deck. We hope our monastic community will be an asset to the Fridley neighborhood. We plan to have an open house from 5 - 6 PM on Sunday Aug 13, which we invite you to attend. We would like to meet you and acquaint you with our community and answer any questions you may have about us. � ' `�� i�I /�/2 t ✓' �� Monastic Community i :":w . : :': i : : . . . : : • • . . . ;�� .

We advised Virgil Herrick of the City Council 's direction regarding the above-referenced application. Mr. Herrick recommended that the Appeals Commission deny the variances at its meeting on September 19, 1989 prior to the Planning Commission's consideration of the special use permit. Therefore, the Planning Commission will not consider the item until September 27, 1989. The City Council will consider the item on October 23, 1989.

In particular we are confident that the presence of our house chapel will not cause any disruption or traffic difficulties in the neighborhood. If you still feel insufficiently informed regarding the use of the property at 1201 Hathaway Lane, please accept our invitation to visit at your convenience. Any questions or concerns you may have can be directed to Fr. John or myself. We along with you appreciate the peace and quietness of this neighborhood, and our main reason for applying for a permit was to create an open door whereby you and all the residents would be apprised of our activity here and our plans, and whereby your thoughts and sensibilities regarding them could be more easily input.

Herri ck, Ci ty Attorney �j�;=�-�� - DATE: September 8, 1989 _.._,.__,.,__ RE: Orthodox Church of the Resurrection of Christ, Inc. I have been asked to give my legal opinion regarding the action that may be taken by the Planning Commission on the request for a special use permit and the Board of Appeals on a variance request made by the Orthodox Church of the Resurrection of Christ, Inc. In writing this opinion I am not attempting to tell either the Commission or the Board what their decision should be, nor am I suggesting what action they should take. I am attempting to give an opinion as to the options that the Commission and the Board have as far as the applications that are before them. I believe that there are three areas that should be considered by the Planning Commission and the Board of Appeals and eventually by the City Council . These are as follows: 1: Should a variance be granted to the applicant. 2. Should a special use permit be granted. 3. Assuming that the variance and special use permit are not granted what activities can the applicant conduct on the sub�ect property. The applicant has requested a special use permit for a church in an R-1 district. Our ordinance requires that a church have at least 15,000 square feet of property. The area of the sub�ect property is approximately 9,900 square feet. Two of the principals involved in determining whether a variance should be granted are 1) can the owner of the property make reasonable use of the property without the variance, and 2) if there is a hardship was the hardship created by action of the property owner. In this particular case the owner of the property purchased a single family residential home. Essentially it has been using the property for residential purposes up to the current time. If the applicant purchased this property with the intention of establishing a church it should have determined the City's square foot requirement prior to the purchase. I would be of the opinion that the City has cause to deny the request for a variance for the reasons that 1) the owner can put the property to a reasonable use other than as a church, and 2) that the applicant should have been aware of the square footage requirements for a church Suite 205, 6401 University Avenue N.E., I�ridley, Minnesota 55432, 612-571-3850 P�EP�ORANDUM RE: Orthodox Church of the Resurrection of Christ, Inc. prior to purchasing the property. If the request for a variance is not granted it is my opinion that the Planning Commission would not be able to issue a special use permit. If the application for the variance is granted the Planning Commission should then consider whether a special use permit should be issued. If the special use permit is to be denied the burden of showing the reason for denial rests with the City. I have reviewed the Minutes of the Public Hearing held on August 16, 1989, and note a number of reasons advanced for denial of the permit. I believe that some of the reasons suggested are valid and others are not. Valid reasons for denial would be lack of adequate off street parking and traffic hazards caused by the severe slope of the streets fronting the property. The fact that the property is or would be tax exempt and the fact that the establishment of a church might have an adverse effect on the property values of ad�acent properties are not valid reasons for denial . I think it should also be emphasized, while it is not a part of the consideration for the variance or special use permit, that the owners of the property have certain basic rights to use this property even if a special use permit authorizing the establishment of a church is not granted. The present owners may have up to five unrelated adults living in the property. This is a provision of the City' s R-1 ordinance. It is my understanding that at the present time there are two or three nuns living in the house. This is within the uses permitted under the City ordinance. Likewise, I am of the opinion that the owner of the house could invite others to the property for religious services, bible study, prayer sessions, or other similar activities. This right is guaranteed under our constitution allowing freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of assembly. If the size or intensity of such meetings were to cause a serious public nuisance, the City could bring an action to curtail the activity. It is also my understanding that the owner of the property wishes to enlarge the structure. I am of the opinion that they are entitled to do so as long as the enlargement is consistent with additions that would be authorized in single family residential areas. I am also of the opinion that they would be authorized to place a cross or other symbol on the property if they chose to do so.

Herrick � Newman Law Office � 6401 University Avenue Fridley, Mn. 55432 Dear Mr. Herrick, Thank you for explaining to me the contents of your memorandum regarding our application for a special use permit for a church at 1201 Hathaway Lane. I do understand the legal implications to the city rzgarding our permit. It is important for us to have 1201 Hathaway Lane designaied a church or chapel because our use of it is for religious purposes. Perhaps there is some designation that you can provide for us other than R-1 that will be acceptable for us as a religious institution and at the same time be within legal bounds. It is not our intention to cause the city of Fridley to set any new precedents. We do believe that both in the past and present there have been similar situations such as St. �Yilliams Church rectory before the main church was built along with cases of other convents in Minneapolis that had chapels. I invite you to visit our chapel at 1201 Hathaway Lane at your convenience. Please call me if you should need any further clarification regarding the use of our property. , Sincerel^y, ,�',,�, C1,-P�... , Rev.

Mediation Services contacted the parties on April 6 and 13, 1992 regarding progress, and apparently each party has stated that they will work with each other directly in the future. The most recent contact that I have had with Father Magramm occurred after February 13, 1992 . He called me and stated that he wanted suggestions as to how to make the home and accessory structures more in concert with the surrounding neighborhood. I advised him that I would contact him a week or so later with some suggestions. I did call him at that time, and he did not return my call.

SITE The site is a single family residential lot with a detached two car garage and a lot area of approximately 9, 600 square feet. The lot has rolling topography, and a grove of trees separates the site from the neighbors to the north. The petitioner is proposing to construct an 18 foot x 18 foot addition over an existing deck. The addition would be used as part of the worship area, including space for the altar. The proposed addition would also include a bell porch. The proposed addition would occur to the rear of the structure. ANALYSIS In order to be granted a special use permit for a church, the petitioner must meet building and site requirements of the CR-1 sections of the code (205. 07.O1.C.2 .a) These requirements include sections 205. 16. 3 , 205. 16.4 , 205. 16. 6, and 205. 16.7. Of those requirements, the site does not meet the minimum lot area of 15, 000 square feet and would require an additional variance to reduce the side yard setbacks from 15 feet to 10 feet, and from 30 feet to 20 feet (the petitioner is currently applying for these variances) . In addition to lot area and side yard setbacks, there is also the issue of parking. Currently on the site is a two car garage with a hardsurface driveway. This gives the petitioner the opportunity to provide four off street parking spaces. This would limit the number of people able to attend the church to 12 (one space for every three fixed seats) . There is, however, the question of enforceability of this number. Due to the topography of the lot and the changes to the structure proposed by the petitioner, additional parking spaces cannot be provided. Staff surveyed other churches in the City of Fridley. With the exception of Michael Servetus Unitarian Church, all the churches are located at the edge of R-1, Single Family Dwelling, districts, near major intersections, and on local arterial and collector streets. Each of the churches exceeds the minimum requirements set forth in the CR-1 regulations (see attached chart) . The location of the proposed church is in the center of a neighborhood on a local residential street. Although the number of people attending the church will be small in number, it will be difficult to monitor over time, especially if the congregation � . Staff Report Orthodox Church; SP #89-11 Page 3 grows. Use of the home as a church begins to change the character of it from a single family residence to a church. In order to grant a special use permit, several variances to the CR-1 site requirements would have to be granted. The Appeals Commission voted unanimously to deny the variance requests (to the CR-1 site requirements) which the petitioner requested in VAR #89- 17. The petitioner still has the opportunity to use the property as a single family home for up to five unrelated adults, and would allow the assembling of people for bible study, prayer service, or religious service. The denial of the special use permit does not deny the petitioner's substantial property rights. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the request, SP #89-11, based on the fact that the lot does not meet the minimum requirements set forth in the CR-1 district. However, if the Planning Commission votes to approve the request, the following stipulations should apply: 1. A three foot high hedge shall be planted or a four foot fence shall be constructed, from the front of the house to the front property line along the west property line. 2 . A seven foot screening fence shall be constructed on the west property line from the front of the house to the north property line, and also along the north property line. 3. The parking demand shall not exceed four parking spaces.

UPON A OICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DEC D THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. r. Kondrick indicated this item would be brought before the City Council at their meeting of August 28. 2 . PUBLIC HEARING• CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP �89-11 BY ORTHODOX CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST, INC. : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Per Section 205. 07. O1.C.2 of the Fridley City Code, to allow churches in a residential district, on Lot 3, Block 1, Parkview Oaks First Addition, the same being 1201 Hathaway Lane N.E. MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Saba, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7 : 50 P.M. Ms. McPherson reported the property is located on Lot 3, Block 1, at the intersection of Hathaway Lane and Regis Drive in an R-1, Single Family district. A church is allowed in an R-1 district with a special use permit. The proposed site plan shows the existing house with alterations for an addition to the rear and a change in design at the front entrance. The code states that there are some building lot standards that need to be met by a church in an R-1 district. The lot area must be 15,000 sq. ft. This lot has approximately 9,900 sq. feet. The petitioner has applied for a variance for the lot area requirement. In addition, they must have a 15 foot setback on the side; again a variance has been requested to reduce the setback to 10 feet. The petitioner is proposing some changes to the existing house, including an 18 ft. X 18 ft. addition to the house over an open deck to allow room for a worship area. Also, an addition over the front walk as shown on the site elevation is being proposed by the petitioner at this time. Regarding the lot coverage requirements, staff has looked at the . . PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 6 other churches that currently exist in the city. Most of the churches in the city far exceed the minimum lot area requirement. Many of the churches reside in an R-1 district; however, most are located at the edge of an R-1 district and near a major intersection. Ms. Dacy reported that the City Attorney is researching the ability of municipalities to regulate churches. Given this application is different from previous applications in that it is in a single family home and the church is small in size, the City Attorney wishes to review the minutes and make a written recommendation after his research and submit his recommendation at the first meeting of the Planning Commission in September. He would prefer that the Planning Con�mission conduct the public hearing so he is aware of what the other concerns are from other owners. Mr. Kondrick asked if there were legal complications that he is looking to unravel before making a recommendation. Ms. Dacy stated this is correct. Father Magramm stated the Orthodox Church of the Resurrection of Christ is a traditional Christian church with a continuous history reaching back to the Apostles. It is considered here in the United States to be the fourth major religion after the Protestants, Catholics, and Jews. There are 13 such Orthodox churches in the Twin City area. There was an article in the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch in the religious section last Saturday about some of the Orthodox churches and his church was mentioned also. Father Magramm stated that they want to use the house in Fridley is as a monastic house, the aim of which is a quiet life. He stated that they have been for the past 8 years at the other end of Hathaway Lane. They have enjoyed the quiet of the neighborhood and that particular street. He stated he anticipates some church members would come to the house, altogether about 12 people, 8 or 9 besides themselves. These people would join as they have been doing. They have had the property at 1201 Hathaway Lane since January; about 8 months. There would be no more traffic and no more parked cars in the future than have been noticed up to now. The church also uses the worship space at 601 15th Avenue in Dinkytown. Any large gatherings besides the regular Sunday services would take place in that facility. The church has asked for this permit so that it would not violate any legal code in converting a room in the house into a chapel and so that anything that they did would be done with the neighborhood's knowledge. They passed around, hand delivered, to the neighborhood, or at least to those who were on the list that were receiving notification of the permit, a pamphlet about the church and a sheet to acquaint neighborhood with who they are and what are projects are going to be and mainly to stress that they are not asking to use the facility to build a big church, a new church, but to use it as a monastic house chapel. The sisters that have been living there are looking for a quiet life and they would � . PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 7 be the first to protest any type of activity that would be disruptive either to the neighborhood or to them. He did have the sheet that was hand delivered to the neighborhood. There are others at the meeting to whom they did not deliver this because they kept this to the list that they had. He is open to discussion and willing to answer any questions that anyone might have. He wants to stress that the purpose of the monastic house chapel is a quiet life, the ability to have prayer meetings for the monastic community rather than a church that would have social activities. Ms. Laurie Wol fe asked how many members are in the church right now. Father Magramm stated about 20 members in the church in Dinkytown. The house will be used as a monastic house chapel for those at one end of the Hathaway Lane. Ms. Wolfe stated it appears the Code says a church and Father is saying this is a monastic house. Which is it? Father Magramm stated he thought the City had only one word which is a church. The church described it as a monastic house chapel . Ms. Janice Driggins asked, if it were a monastic house and not a church, is a special use permit necessary. Mr. Kondrick replied that this apparently is a question for which the Planning Commission needs to wait for an opinion from the City Attorney. Ms. Driggins stated that, to her understanding, the property has a garage built over a water main. As a realtor, she had problems several years ago on a closing and could not get a title because of the water main issue. In view of that, would that be taken into consideration for granting permits for building onto that house. Mr. Kondrick stated he thought it would, but this is new information to the commission. This information will be considered and will surely have an impact on the final dis�cussion. Mr. Kondrick thanked her for that information, and directed staff to check on it. Mr. Douglas Strong presented a petition signed by 45 people in the neighborhood. The petition stated that this property is a relatively small home in a quiet residential neighborhood. The property is a single lot, with no room for expansion. There is no off-street parking. The location of the property at the end of a T intersection and at the base of a steep hill causes tremendous on-street parking problems. Mr. Strong stated that the following property owners hereby wished to register their extreme opposition to the granting of the special use permit by the City of Fridley for this property. The petition is to safeguard the neighborhood - — . � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 8 because a variance or a special use permit is granted to the legal description and not to the individuals living in the house. The people living in the house may be totally above board, but once they move out, the special use permit carries over to the new owners. One of the neighbors' concerns is that once it is done, it is very difficult to undo. As the Commission can see by the site plan, the lot is very small. Another chart that Mr. Strong was very interested in seeing was the churches in Fridley that have been looked at so far. The square footage of the lots is larger than this lot. Mr. Strong asked the Planning Commission if they had driven by the site. If so, members are aware of the steep � hill. He has checked with the Engineering Department, and this hill has over a 9� grade which makes it an undesirable hill for parking, especially in the winter. Mr. Strong has lived in his current residence for 15 years and sees that the Public Works Department has to hit that hill first thing when the first snowfall hits, so that the people that do live up there can get up the street. It is not conducive to parking. The neighbors are hearing that there will not be parking problems here. An addition to the building is being done to accommodate a volume of people. While the church is saying 12 people maximum, there is no place in the special use permit that the Commission can set a maximum number of people that can be there. The fire code may enter into this and require additional exits, and sprinkling of the building may enter into it. Also, to leave this structure looking like a single family residence will not happen with the proposed changes to the structure, particularly to the front cf the house. That will make it look like a church. There is a realtor here tonight, and that person would know better than Mr. Strong what happens to the values of the homes next to a church. It is a church. Whether you want to call is a fancy name or not, if it's a special use permit for a church, it's a church. Mr. Strong asked if he was wrong. Mr. Barna stated that in that instance, yes. If a special use permit is issued forever for that property, but a special use permit can be limited to the occupant. A variance is forever, that goes with the description of the property. But a special use permit is reviewable or renewable. If this church were to move out of the residence as owners, the special use permit can be limited to their residence or their use of the property. Mr. Kondrick stated that, as with many special use permits, there are oftentimes certain stipulations that the petitioner must comply with. Time limits are given, and even no time limits. If those stipulations are violated, the permit can be revoked. So those things are in the background here too. He suggested a motion to accept the petition and the names as part of the minutes so the City Council and City Attorney can review. MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to accept the petition as part of the minutes. I _ __ PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 9 UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Strong stated with regard to the water main and construction to the building, his experience with Fridley's water system in the neighborhood is that there have been a number of water main breaks. Assuming that they are cast iron mains, these mains are conducive to water main breaks. This particular main is a 6-inch water main that runs all the way through in a loop system. With construction of the addition near the main, vibration and what not in that area could lead to a leak. With a garage over the water main, there is potential for severe problems there. Mr. Strong knew the individuals who sold this house, and knew they had great difficulties once they discovered the water main was there. They did go through the City. They did get a permit. It was issued. Nobody caught this until almost 20 years later when they went to sell it and it was sur{veyed. There was an error along the way, but Mr. Strong didn't think they need to add to the problem allowing additional construction on there that could affect that. Another concern is that even if there will not be additional parking, he knows there will be at times additional parking. With the T intersection today, if anyone in the neighborhood has guests cars parked on either side of the street, it become difficult to maneuver when the streets are at all slippery. Unfortunately, people also have a tendency to come down Regis Drive which is also at a grade, not at 9�, something less than that, but they have a tendency to come quickly down there. The alternate is to make a sharp turn or go right up the driveway because it is an extension of the street. It becomes a hazardous situation. Mr. Strong has barely missed cars because the view is blocked. There are some hazards there and the neighbors don't need to add to this by adding the potential for additional parking. He knows the intention is good and there is nothing the neighborhood has against the residence being used as it is today, as a single family residence. He believes they are good neighbors. It is the use of the property that the neighbors had a problem with. It is not designed for a church. A neighborhood is quiet and we would like to keep it that way. Mr. Strong stated his daughter commented that she could hear church music on Sunday morning, which may be desireable some of the time, but not when you wish to sleep. Mr. Kondrick asked, suppose the number of cars were limited and that church services would not be held except with Father and a few others, how would Mr. Strong feel about that? Mr. Strong stated he would still have a question of the use of the property as a church and there is still the factor of values of houses when that takes place. A neighbor is in the process of putting his house up for sale due to a move out of state. It does have an affect on the property values. Another thing that the neighbors are missing is whether the property is now on the tax roles. -- - - PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 10 Ms. Dacy stated the church has appl ied for a tax exempt status. Taxes for 1989 are paid, but next year would be tax exempt. Mr. Strong stated that the neighborhood would be losing the tax base of that property. Maybe if the church special use permit is not granted, it might not be that desireable. The taxes are based on mill rate with the school. These residents will not be having children in the schools and this structure will not add tax dollars to support that. Each of these that does apply and does get it means that the rest of us pick up that share. Another concern is that a neighbor who is close to this property is also considering selling their house if the permit is granted. It is a quiet residential neighborhood and it is not designed for a church. A home for the Father and Sisters is no problem. They are good neighbors from a residential standpoint. But as a church, the lot is not conducive, th� traffic pattern is not conducive for that situation. It is be very easy to say there won't be any problems now, but no one has any experience with that right now and what is going to happen. The church has a substantial increase proposed in size which to Mr. Strong would generate additional people, or at least the ability to accommodate additional people. It may not be there now, but with the addition the possibility is there. Once it is done, it's done. You can review special use permits, but Mr. Strong would be very surprised that once it is granted, unless it was abused greatly, it would not be lifted. Abuse would be very difficult to show. The people on that petition are looking to the Planning Commission to review and to not grant the special use permit at this time. Mr. Kondrick asked, if there were no more than 3 or 4 cars there, and he realizes that could mean 20 people, and with off street parking, how would Mr. Strong feels about it. Mr. Strong stated he would be opposed to any use as a church even if the cars are limited and modification to make the house look like a church was denied. Mr. Barna presented a hypothetical situation of a salesperson for a home-based company who held regular meetings at their home which could include as many as 20 to 25 people each week, would Mr. Strong still object? Such use does not require a special use permit. Mr. Strong stated he would, if traffic becomes a problem, the City would hear about it from the residents. Regardless of whether you hear from the citizens or not, the neighbors are looking at a safety factor. Mr. Barna stated the Planning Commission can put restrictions on with a special use permit, but a home-based business cannot be restricted. There are restrictions on employing others in your PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 11 home. The special use permit gives the City a handle on it so staff can restrict the parkinq on the site, and can even put on architectural restrictions which cannot be done on a normal home. That is the idea of a special use permit being required for a church. A question is that the City Attorney is not sure if staff can legally put on those restrictions. The idea is to get as much as you can and stay within the law. Mr. Barna agreed that he would not want to see a big "church" structure put on that lot, but whether or not the Commission can restrict a monastic chapel or chapel uses is the question. The Jehovah's Witness hold Bible meetings and/or prayer meetings in their homes and there are no � restriction on that. Several persons stated that in that situation the persons are still paying taxes on their property and maintain a main church building. Mr. Strong stated that the tax exempt status is still a question. A public hearing is to get public opinion which is what the neighbors are here to do. The Planning Commission also needs to look at the best use of the property. The decision must be made whether this is a legitimate use of the property. Mr. Kondrick stated that residents' input is valued. This exchange brings out ideas and viewpoints that are very important. Father Magramm stated he had two comments. He is quite a distance from Mr. Strong's house. There is anc�ther church in the area that could make noise. Also, the tax exemption has nothing to do with the permit. Ms. Shelley Garber thought it would be lovely to have these people as neighbors. The parking would not affect her because she �cioesn't live on the street. The tax exemption is a problem. She wanted to know what a monastic house is. Has the house where the Brothers live been changed into a church? Who lives at the house? Father Magramm stated they pay taxes at the other house. The Brothers have a house chapel there which is small. Mr. Kondrick asked Father Magramm to provide a definition of a monastic house. Father Magramm states a monastic house is a place where monks or nuns live, similar to a rectory or convent. Ms. Garber asked if any were employed. Father Magramm stated yes. The sisters do volunteer work at nursing homes and hospitals. Ms. Garber stated that other churches in the community are also tax exempt and have services for the community which benefit the - - PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 12 community. She wanted to know from the sisters, if they were there and did have a monastic house, how would they contribute to the neighborhood? Mother Victoria stated that she had not yet moved permanently to the house on Hathaway Lane, but hoped to do so soon. For 10 years she has been living in a similar monastic house in California. The main purpose is the monastic life. The first purpose is a prayer life. They contribute to the community in non-specific ways. They are not dedicated to one type of work. They have a house full of people that live monastic life and do what comes. In California, it turned out to be a lot of work with old people, helping with transportation, filling out Social Security forms, living with them for a few weeks while recuperating, this is work that developed with the needs as seen. It is not as if the Sisters have a charter. Ms. Garber asked if Mother Victoria had had a chance to evaluate the needs here. Mother Victoria stated she had personally been here a very short time and had met very few neighbors. So that is something she had not yet had time to do, but hopes to do so in the future. Mr. David Matlock stated he had recently moved into the neighborhood and has a 4-year-old son. One of the things that attracted him to neighborhood was that it was very quiet and secluded. He had heard the comments about the off street parking, and agreed that the driveway could not hold more than 4-6 cars. That T intersection is very nasty which he found out last winter when he almost broadsided a car coming down the hill on glare ice. Mr. Matlock was afraid that if there was a lot of off street parking with cars on both sides of the street, it would make the lanes very narrow. Because there are so many kids, any increase in traffic could be hazardous to the kids. In addition, it was stated that there is a chapel in the house at 991 Hathaway Lane and asked if that needed a variance. Was that house modified? If not, why modify the house at 1201 Hathaway Lane? Father Magramm stated they use a room in the basement, and they did not modify the house. They want to modify the house for their church furniture and icons. The front would be a type of extension. Mr. Matlock stated it does change the look of the house dramatically from a single family dwelling to an obvious church. If the Brothers and Sisters are going to lead a monastic life, why is this necessary? Father Magramm stated they want to have a certain look. Mr. Matlock asked if they had plans to modify the home at 991 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 13 Hathaway Lane. Father Magramm stated they did not have plans to modify the other home. Mr. Matlock stated he did not have a problem with these people as neighbors. He had noticed an increase in traffic since last summer. He had had people stop and ask directions to the church. He wanted to voice his opposition to this and felt the change will stand out dramatically. This is a single family home and, if the church wants a place for nuns to live, Mr. Matlock did not see why it needed to be modified for use as a church. Ms. Wolfe asked if they would be notified of the issues that the City Attorney is considering, such as whether it is a church or monastic home. Mr. Kondrick stated this will come back to the Planning Commission again before going to the City Council. The Planning Commission will have another meeting and make a recommendation prior to this item going to the City Council. Mr. James Wolfe stated there seems to be a contradiction between monastic residence and applying for a tax exempt church status. Which is it going to be? Mr. Kondrick stated that is crux of the problem, and that is the area that the City Attorney is researching. Mr. Wolfe stated he was not sure the parking will be the way it now is. The hill is very dangerous at that intersection in the winter. There is no stop sign. Drivers have to get a little run to get up hill and slow down for that corner because it is blind, and take off again. There are a lot of cars in the winter that go past that hill probably faster than they should trying to get home. He is not convinced that the traffic will stay the way it is. He does not care for the change architecturally in the front of the house. Ms. Juli Evers stated the church's backyard meets her backyard. When she first heard about the request, she was quite concerned. She has four young children and was concerned about what the church might be telling the children. Ms. Evers was relieved to know it was a Christian organization. She moved into an established neighborhood so she would know her neighbors. She was opposed to a church. They were invited to an open house and were the only ones who went. They were there 1 1/2 hours and had their questions answered. If she could pick neighbors, they would be at the top of the list. They are quiet, she has not noticed that they have been there for 8 months. As far as the tax purposes, she thought that if the neighbors are concerned about taxes, they should look also at larger churches that are not being taxed. This is minute in comparison. She belongs to a church and appreciates the status PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 14 they have, and was sure these people would also. Parking, if it could be restricted to only so many in the driveway and no street parking, it would be okay. However, she has garage sales on her street on Fridays that line the street which also makes traffic patterns which can be just as often as church services. Ms. Evers has no objection to them being there. She was not sure that she would agree to the structural change in front. She had done a complete turn around since she was notified. Ms. Driggins stated she would like to comment on the traffic. She asked if the members would be physically looking at that area to see what the neighbors are looking at. The Commission members stated they had driven past the intersection. Ms. Driggins stated she has been a victim of being blind sided and near missed many other times in that area. She asked to have square footage of the lot clarified. Ms. McPherson stated the lot is 9, 600 square feet. Ms. Driggins stated that the minimum for a church is 15, 000 square feet so without any further additions on that property it is already overbuilt, so to speak, for the land. Mr. Dahlberg stated not as a residential property, but as a church yes.• Ms. Driggins asked then if the addition has any impact. Mr. Dahlberg stated not with respect to building setbacks and lot coverage. Mr. Kondrick stated the setbacks from the side may need to be changed to allow a special use, but the Commission is not considering that at this time. Ms. Carol Eppel stated she had no problem with the house as it presently is. She thought the size of the property and taxes were an area the neighbors should deal with. She thought the neighbors are fortunate that this has comes up. Any neighbor could paint their house any color they want and she couldn't complain. She stated that, since this is a small residential area, she would not like front of house changed to look like a church. She did not move to the area to live next to a church. She did not oppose the activities that are there now. She wanted to know, if a special use permit was granted and activities became a problem, could restrictions be put on? If the permit was granted and if something came up, do the neighbors no longer have any rights to say this is something that is an disruption to the neighborhood? 1 � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 15 Mr. Kondrick stated a special use permit can have as many stipulations as necessary to protect the welfare and look of the community including restricting the number of cars, etc. There are certain setbacks that would need to be changed with a variance. If they did not comply, the City has the right to ask them to stop. If they didn't do that, the City can deny the special use permit so they can no longer function in that way. Ms. Garber asked if a monastic house is tax exempt. Father Magramm stated the house has been paying taxes all along. Mr. Matlock asked, if on street parking was restricted, can the church then pave the front yard for off street parking. Mr. Kondrick stated no. Mr. Barna stated that the only way the church could possibly gain additional parking on this lot would be to move the garage to the rear of the lot, to within code, but if there is a pipe there, there could be problems at that point. The church is pretty well limited to what they have unless they were going to move the garage. This would be very expensive to increase the parking. Mr. Saba stated that one thing that could be done is to put up no parking signs on either side of the street. Ms. Sherek stated this would affect everyone's parking in the area. Mr. Saba stated, if that is a hazard, it may be something that should be looked at anyway. Mr. James Legatt asked, if the City restricts the parking and parking was a problem there, the church would move the parking and then it would be a concern of his. It would also be a problem that people do come down Regis Drive fast. If there was a restriction on parking, then it would probably affect all of the neighbors on Regis Drive. Mr. Kondrick stated this is just discussion of ideas and has not happened yet. These expressions will be forwarded on to those tho make the final decisions later on. Ms. Alice Ebel stated she understood that the larger gatherings are held in Dinkytown, except on Sundays. Would the meetings then be held in the house? How many would be attending? Father Magramm stated that if he stated "except", he did not mean to. The members meet in Dinkytown on Sundays at 601 13th Avenue which is a large complex owned by the University Lutheran Church of Hope. The church has used this facility for the main church gatherings. He stressed that the major gatherings would not be at PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 16 the residence. Ms. Ebel asked who would using the monastic chapel? Father Magramm stated there are 20 in the congregation. Unfortunately, not everyone comes to church every Sunday. Take that number minus four, and the number that attend regular services in Dinkytown, that means there would be about 8 people that might come. Ms. Cherle Pedersen asked if the Brothers already had a home on the end of Hathaway with a chapel, and now you need another home with another chapel. Why did the church need two homes for one chapel for eight people? Father Magramm stated the chapel at the other end of Hathaway is in the basement, is very small and is used for storage. The church wants a chapel at 1201 Hathaway so it can be on the upper level. Ms. Pedersen asked, if you are going to have a chapel at 1201 Hathaway, then would you go back to paying taxes for the other home. Father Magramm stated they have always paid taxes on the first home and will continue to do so. Ms. Pedersen asked if they then will move congregation to this facility. Father Magramm stated they are not moving the congregation to this home. They are moving pictures, icons, and the Sisters into 1201 Hathaway. The difference is to move a chapel to a living room space. The house at 1201 Hathaway is larger home than the other one. The other chapel is a small room in the basement. Ms. Pedersen asked why physically change that house for only eight people. Father Magramm stated that was the purpose of the open house. They wanted the neighbors to come so they could answer questions. Anyone is welcome to come at any time to see what they are doing. The chapel is very small there. It is as living room space and they want to expand it to have enough room to put the painted panels that they have on the walls. Ms. Pedersen stated that churches are set up to increase congregations. When this is done to a home for increasing congregations, it is not conducive to the neighborhood quietness. Father Magramm stated he understood that concern. He again stressed that any large gatherings that are held for dinners, �� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 17 Christmas, etc. , would all be held in Dinkytown. If the neighbors had not seen problems up until now, they wouldn't in the future. ' Father knows that churches want to qrow, but this church is not wa Lane. An rowth will be at planning to grow at Hatha y y q Dinkytown. Hathaway Lane is where they want to have a prayer life and a chapel in the home. The Sisters will live in one home and the Brothers in the other. Ms. Pedersen stated she nearly had an accident at that intersection and with additional traffic and cars parked at that part there would no way to stop accidents on that corner. Residents know to watch that corner, but others are not going to know and that will create a problem. Ms. Jule Bagaason stated she lived next door to the parcel. They have lived there 1 1/2 years and chose the home for privacy. They had lived in apartments and duplexes and bought the house for privacy. They do not have privacy with additional people and an addition that will look directly into the backyard. There is a huge cross nailed on front of the house which has caused some problems with traffic on that corner from those who drive by, stop and back up to take another look. Changing the look of the home will only complicate the problems at that intersection. Ms. Bagaason feels as if she is losing what they have worked for and would want to be compensated. Ms. Eppel stated they were not given notice of this request. When something like this comes up, she would like the City to notify the neighbors of the change. She would like to recommend that all those who have signed the petition be notified on further happenings. Mr. Matlock asked if the addition they were planning over the existing deck, to enclose deck for chapel, why not put a chapel on back of other house. Father Magramm stated that the structure at 1201 Hathaway is the structure that they want for a bit more room and because they have chosen not to do so on that property. Expansion at that property would not be feasible. Councilmember Jorgenson asked if the property that you are planning to modify would be used for weddings, funerals, baptisms? I Father Magramm stated the addition is to expand 18 feet. In the past four years, they have had one wedding and one funeral. The funeral was held in the funeral home and the wedding was held in Dinkytown. Councilmember Jorgenson asked if they planned to have baptisms, weddings, etc. , at this location. � .1�-� ' PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 18 Father Maqramm stated they may have a baptism. He did not think they would have a wedding or a funeral. Ms. Jorgenson asked if it was correct that the a special use permit was to bring in icons for chapel. Father Magramm stated they want to expand for icons. Mr. Strong asked to clarify that the Dinkytown chapel will be used for special events. Mr. Dahlberg stated the Dinkytown facility will be used every Sunday for worship. Ms. Strong stated they had conflict with their open house. Taxes are not a problem. The property was not going to affect her property that much. She had no problem with the beliefs and way of their life. Ms. Strong did not buy property to live near a church. She did not want not live across the street from any church. Nor did she want to live across from a residence that looks like a church. Mr. Ned Thompson asked if the special use permit would allow the City to put on more restrictions on the property than the present building code would allow. Mr. Kondrick stated yes. Mr. Barna stated there are things you could do a house that they would not be allowed to do. You can put an entrance on the front of your house or a deck on the back as long as you don't exceed the lot coverage or eliminate 25� of your backyard or 25 feet from the back lot line. The restrictions here are with the special use permit, but on the residence we don't have those. You would have more flexibility through the building code than through the special use permit. Mr. Thompson stated that, if a special use permit could restrict the front of the house, this could then be better for the neighborhood. Ms. Karen Allard asked how many will be living in the house. Father Magramm stated no more than 5 persons. Ms. Bagaason stated that, if she wanted to live next to a church, she would have bought a home next to a church. She feels it is no longer her choice. She stated that they did not want to live next door to a church. Ms. Sherek asked Father Magramm, in looking at the plans, was there going to be a structure to the entry for the chapel which is . �''`� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 19 going to at the back? Father Magramm stated there was a back door and a front door. Ms. Sherek asked if there was a reason why the entry could not be placed at the back of the property where the deck is now. One objection is to the structure that the church is putting on the front of the house. Was there a reason why an entrance could not be placed at the back? People could walk along the driveway and enter the chapel at the back. That could answer the question of not creating a distraction, not making it look to the neighborhood as if they are living adjacent to a church. If the primary purpose is to be a monastic residence, and the chapel is to serve the Sisters living in the house and others in the neighborhood, certainly both could be satisfied. Father Magramm stated he could see this as a possibility but he did not know if this would be practically feasible. Ms. Bagaason stated the people next door would still have to look at it. Ms. Sherek stated they would not if it were hidden from view by the garage. Mr. Wolfe stated that it would not be hidden by the garage. Mr. Barna stated that the garage is less than 10 feet from the rear of the house. Mr. Kondrick stated this is a possibility that can be explored. Ms. Eppel stated that some of the things that she is hearing is that the neighbors to the sides of the parcel are objecting to the lack of their own privacy. Having the entrance in the back would not satisfy this objection. Could the front of house be left alone like a residential structure? Mr. Barna stated there is the option of screening. Ms. Garber asked why do they not use the living room. A living room can be decorated any way a person wants. If you want your articles and icons, why not you get a permit to expand your living room. Father Magramm stated they thought it was the proper thing to do, to notify the neighborhood and go through the City. The church could have done that as Ms. Garber suggested, but the church decided to go through the City. Ms. Driggins asked if this then gets back to the original question of whether the special use permit is necessary. Would they have i�`+ . PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 20 the option to do the changes. Mr. Dahlberg stated that he thought, if the City Attorney renders a decision that a special use permit is not required, then potentially that is the case. OM TION by Paul Dahlberg, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9: 15 � P.M. Mr. Kondrick stated the information presented would be reviewed and an opinion rendered by the City Attorney. At that time, all of the neighbors would be re-advised the next meeting. Before the Planning Commission would be re-discussing this, he would presume that the church would be discussing ideas presented during the meeting. Father Magramm stated he was glad to have met their neighbors tonight and appreciate the neighbors' recommendations. They will do whatever they could to make everyone happy and comfortable. They did not plan to give out any more information. Anyone who wished to see the chapel and house was welcome to do so at any time. They will answer the neighbors' questions. Father Magramm stated the neighbors should feel free to be their friends. Mr. Dahlberg asked for informal discussion. It would be useful if the Planning Commission could bring up other issues that the City Attorney could use as he rendered an opinion. In summary, there are several issues that need to be addressed relative to parking and traffic; use of this facility as a church, home, monastic residence, or combination; and the tax exempt status. He felt that the tax exempt status was not an issue here. Any home owned by a church facility for its pastor is tax exempt or can be, so he did not feel this was an issue. Mr. Dahlberg thought that there was several things that should be addressed relative to not only use of the facility but also relative to its appropriateness in the neighborhood. Mr. Dahlberg heard and agreed that this home should not have a character architecturally that is different from the rest of the neighborhood. He would be hard pressed to vote for any kind of a project where that type of entrance was used. The architectural design must be very sensitive to the neighborhood. He thought it would be in the best interests of all concerned to remember that this still needs to be resolved. Mr. Dahlberg hoped that the Planning Commission and the neighborhood could all look at this objectively, and he thought that the use of this facility as a residence can remain that irrespective of potentially not allowing the addition. Mr. Dahlberg thought a church was a good neighbor and could remain so if this should not be allowed as a worship facility. •+w PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 21 Mr. Saba thought the Planning Commission should also take a look at what could be there. In his neighborhood, a house was sold and turned into rental property. The people that live there party every weekend and there are 15-20 cars on both sides of the street. A church can improve a neighborhood and there are benefits. Mr. Saba agreed regarding the front of the building. The architecture should be compatible with the neighborhood, and he would oppose a structure that would make it different from the other homes in the neighborhood. There may be a more compatible feature that would be okay. Mr. Barna stated that basically anyone can build a front porch on the front of the house not to exceed 10 feet into the front yard without designated design. Anyone could expand their house as long as they did not exceed the side yard, rear yard, lot coverage without a special use�permit, with a building permit. That is all that is needed for the front porch and for the covering of the deck. With a special use permit, the design can be restricted. If the Planning Commission did not issue a special use permit, the architectural design cannot be restricted. A cross on the front of the house cannot be restricted. There are controls under a special use permit, but these expansions would likely be allowed for an R-1 house. Ms. Sherek stated there are concerns being expressed regarding parking and traffic. If indeed the number of people attending services averaged 8 to 12, she did not believe the traffic was going to be significant. Parking in the neighborhood is a problem. When looking at the house last week, she found that all along that street it was hazardous to have cars parked. She did not think that the impact of having 3 or 4 more cars on Sunday would be a significant change. One concern is that anything placed in the front yard that attracts attention or stops traffic. She would see that as a hazard. If the house is really like a convent with a chapel, then she didn't see that as a serious problem. However, if it became a primary church, then it becomes a problem. Mr. Kondrick asked when this item would be coming again before the commission. Ms. Dacy stated the tentative date for the Planning Commission meeting on September 13th. All those who have signed the sheet at the meeting and those who signed the petition will be notified. Mr. Kondrick thanked all for coming to the meeting. All are welcome to come back to the September meeting to re-discuss the issue. Mr. Barna stated that the related variance for this property is scheduled for the Appeals Commission on August 22 . This item would be tabled at that meeting. .�►+ PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 16, 1989 PAGE 22 O ION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Dahlberg, to re-open the public hearing.
