In 1984, a five acre tract was platted to allow for the initial
construction of the First United Methodist Church facility at the
northeast comer of Bethel School and Heartz Road. In April 1998,
a Minor Plat was approved on 7.04 acres of land (Section 2) to
allow for the construction of this parking lot. Finally, the replat for
the main facility was approved in 1998, but not filed until July of
1999. City Council granted an extension for the filing of this
replat.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
institutional and medium density residential uses.
DISCUSSION:
As discussed in the HISTORY section of this report, this property was
originally platted in April, 1998 to allow for the construction of the
parking lot. That Minor Plat established a fire lane and the setback
lines. The requested Replat will abandon the previous fire lane, and
establish a new fire lane configuration to serve the redesigned parking
lot. Further, this plat designates sidewalk easements along all streets. At
the northeast corner of the tract, this sidewalk easement widens to 15
feet to accommodate the meandering portion of the sidewalk. The
remaining sidewalk will be within a 5-foot easement. However, this
easement needs to be more clearly labeled.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the Replat of First United
Methodist Church Addition, Section 2, Lot 1 Block 1, subject to the
following condition:
1. Clearly label the sidewalk easements.
ALTERNATIVES:
