Commission recommends conditional approval for Northgate Bible Baptist Church parking changes
Summary
The commission recommended conditional approval of a parking-lot alteration for Northgate Bible Baptist Church after the applicant proposed restriping and reconfiguring the upper lot for 90-degree two-way parking; the commission asked for an additional 2–3-foot landscaping strip at a former entrance.
The Ross Township Planning Commission recommended conditional approval to the Board of Commissioners for a parking-lot alteration at Northgate Bible Baptist Church at 238 West View Avenue.
Scott Kurtz, representing the applicant and Tait Engineering Inc., described plans to add parking area, restripe the upper parking lot and reconfigure spaces to 90-degree parking to permit two-way travel and improve circulation. The minutes record the applicant's intent to reconfigure the parking layout and to show five parking spaces at a former entrance that will be closed.
Township staff and the Township Engineer raised minor concerns; the commission agreed with the Township Engineer's recommendation to provide an additional two to three feet of landscaping in front of the proposed parking stops at the closed entrance for added safety. There were no public comments recorded.
The Planning Commission recommended conditional approval of SP-26-2, with final approval contingent on (1) submitting plans that address all Township Engineer comments and (2) showing a 2–3-foot landscaping strip at the northeast former entrance as reflected in the site plan. Voting in favor was unanimous among the members present; Michael Stephens was absent.
Final action will be taken by the Board of Commissioners after staff transmits the commission's recommendation and the applicant files revised plans addressing engineering comments.
