Church proposes 21,000‑square‑foot building at Noah Road and Highway 279; county flags fire, plumbing and buffering needs
Summary
A proposed Church of Latter day Saints at Noah Road and Highway 279 would include about 21,000 sq ft and a design occupant load of roughly 1,409, with 289 parking spaces; Benton County departments told the applicant to provide engineered drawings, a state plumbing letter or a sewer connection, hydrant access and vegetative buffering to screen nearby homes.
Martin Haney presented a pre‑application for a new Church of Latter day Saints at the intersection of Noah Road and Highway 279, describing a building of roughly 20,000–21,000 square feet and a calculated design occupant load of about 1,409 people. He said plans currently show 289 parking spaces and seven accessible spaces.
The county fire marshal, Lonnie Harrell, said an assembly building of that scale will require a sprinkler and alarm system where code thresholds apply, properly sized exits with exterior doors that swing outward and panic hardware, and a fire hydrant near the fire department connection for the sprinkler system. "The main thing is the sprinkler system, the alarm system, and access to the building all the way around," Harrell told the committee.
