Commission approves Chapelwood United Methodist Church site and landscape plans, declines sidewalk requirement
Summary
The commission approved a site-plan amendment at Chapelwood United Methodist Church to repave parking, add a drop-off area and a required fire lane; the board voted to approve the site plan with no sidewalk requirement and approved the landscape plan showing preservation of three trees.
Design representatives for Chapelwood United Methodist Church described proposed site improvements including repaving the parking lot, adding a covered drop-off area, and showing a required fire lane to meet code. Bill Testow, project manager, noted the landscape revisions include three preserved trees with a combined diameter near 66 inches and recommended that those trees be protected during construction.
Commissioners discussed drainage elevations (pond outfall at elevation 12.8 and pond elevation reported at 14), whether detention sizing followed 10-year or 100-year criteria for added impervious area, and a sidewalk requirement. Staff noted that drainage review will be completed with the detailed site plan and that the added impervious area was calculated to a 10-year or 100-year criterion depending on the element discussed.
A motion to approve the Chapelwood site plan amendment with no sidewalk requirement carried on a voice vote; the board later approved the related landscape plan and preservation approach.
Next steps: staff will verify drainage calculations during site-plan review and note tree protection measures on construction documents.
