United Methodist Church presents small patio plan; BZA discusses stormwater mitigation
Summary
United Methodist Church at 29931 Lake Rd sought a roughly 753–795 sq ft concrete patio for congregational safety; board members discussed stormwater impacts, potential downspout disconnects and less costly pervious alternatives; no vote appears in the provided transcript segments.
Jim Bracken and Dwight Clark told the board they want a poured concrete patio (roughly 753–795 sq. ft.) to provide a safe, broom-finished surface for an aging congregation’s coffee fellowship during summer months. They said alternative pervious surfacing had been considered but was significantly more expensive.
Board members and Building Director Eric Tuck-Macalla discussed the impervious-surface ordinance, mitigation options such as disconnecting downspouts to lawn areas, French drains, and the possibility of removing other concrete to offset the increase. Mr. Miller noted the change is under 1% of the parcel’s impervious coverage and suggested landscaping and percolation measures as mitigation. The transcript ends with ongoing discussion of mitigation; a final motion or vote is not recorded in the provided segments.
