Delbert Stembridge, Engineer, came forward to represent the church. He stated they had received the city engineer's comments and they take exception to 5 items: #4-They request a 15 foot setback instead of a 20 foot since it will be considered as the rear of the property; #5-They do not wish to dedicate additional right-of-way on Glenview since it has been down graded and no additional right-of-way is needed; #9-They do not wish to install another fire hydrant, they already have two others, one on Vance and one on Parchman. Mr. Stembridge stated they could use the fire hydrant across Glenview if the need arises. u8-The architect will show the fire lanes on the site plan; #11-They do not feel they should have to pay pro rata, the structure has been there for 25 years and had service that long. He said they do not think it is fair, and they do not feel the city has required this before. Mr. Wood stated in another letter from the city engineer, they are requesting sight triangles. Mr. Stembridge said they had no objection to this if it is a city policy. Mr. Bowen stated it is a new policy. Mr. Lueck asked how much it would cost to change the plat to show the sight triangles. Mr. Stembridge said about a dollar. . Mr. Bowen asked about the sidewalks. Mr. Stembridge stated the sidewalk is already there and would be shown on the site plan. Page 3 P & Z Minutes October 13, 1988 . Mr. Barfield said the reason the fire department does not want to use the fire hydrant across Glenview is there is no one to control traffic for several minutes and someone would drive over the hoses. Mr. Wood stated they have 300 foot coverage on most of the area and the two hydrants reach a portion of the building. He said for the expense involved, he feels the church has plenty of coverage already. Mr. Wood stated nothing is being changed on the north end of the lot and they have sufficient coverage on the south end. Mr. Bowen stated regarding pro rata, this Commission cannot waive pro rata, only the City Council can. . PS 88-17 APPROVED Mr. Brock made the motion to approve PS 88-17.
