SP-9305 - Edf!:ewater United Methodist Church. 211 N. Ridf!:ewood Avenue
Chairman Fazzone asked Mr. Karet if the applicant is requesting preliminary or final site
plan approval. Mr. Karet stated the applicant is requesting both be approved as one. Mr.
Karet said if the Board has problems with the existing plan and wish to see corrections then
the Board can grant preliminary approval.
Kevin Schweizer, authorized agent for the Edgewater United Methodist Church gave a
presentation to the Board saying a 6700 square foot addition is being proposed. This will
contain a fellowship hall, administration space and class room area.
Chairman Fazzone asked Mr. Karet if all staffs comments had been met. Mr. Karet replied
some items need to be clarified. Mr. Karet also said the shell road as reconfigured does not
meet requirements. Mr. Karet said staff recommends approval of Phase 1A and Phase 1B

only. Mr. Karet said the applicant understands in order to have the entire Phase 1 approved
at this time the shell road would have to be relocated and a variance obtained.
Chairman Fazzone questioned the landscape buffer and Mr. Schweizer explained the location
of additional trees.
Mr. Schweizer stated he would like the Board to approve Phase 1 in its entirety, based on the
possibility of an approval of a required variance.
Mr. Karet said staff is uncomfortable accepting the entire site plan as none of the criteria for
a variance has been considered.
After further discussion Mr. Masso moved to approve Phase IA and Phase IB only, seconded
by Mr. Hildenbrand. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Mr. Hatfield and Mr. Garthwaite were absent.
Review of Bv-Laws
Chairman Fazzone felt there were areas in the By-Laws that need to be addressed. The Board
members discussed in length, Article III: Membership. Mr. Ewing felt the language should
remain as is. Mr. Masso reminded the Board that at a previous meeting the consensus of the
membership was to eliminate the language that says, no member shall serve more than two
consecutive three year terms. Mr. Masso also said that Council has concurred with the
Board's decision. There was other discussion and suggested changes to the By-Laws from the
Board.
Ms. Storey said the amended version of the By-Laws will be presented to the Board for the
final vote at a future meeting.
Mr. Hatfield (newly appointed Board member) arrived at this time and Chairman Fazzone
introduced him to the Board and brought him up-to-date as to what the Board was discussing.

the variance criteria will be addressed at that time.
