ITEM: NEW BUSINESS
Appl. #08-28P, Colonial Point Christian Church - 855 Chapel Road - IWA/CC application modification for the construction of house of worship, parking grading, utilities, and associated improvements on property located north of Chapel Road. Rural Residential (RR) zone.
Tim Mulcaly came before the Commission and stated that this application was approved approximately three to four years ago and in the interim phase one has come to a close. Nothing has changed except for the impervious coverage. Three of the buildings have shrunk since the last approval 3 plus years ago. The detention basin will not need to be reworked. The project is fully funded and therefore is moving ahead.
Warren asked Folger is he had any additional comments. Folger stated that the application is straight forward and the site is flat, sandy and perimeter controls are appropriate. The reduction of the impervious coverage is a benefit.
There were no other comments or questions.
