RE: SDP 2011 — 17 Ivy Creek United Methodist Church
Dear Mr. Driver,
I have received your request for waivers of the design standards for the parking lot associate with the
development of this site as proposed by SP 2011 -17.
The requested waivers are contained in a letter from you dated February 22, 2011. Specifically the
waivers are:
1. Waiver of surfacing requirements contained in Section 14.12.15(a).
2. Waiver of curb and gutter requirements contained in Section 14.12.15(g)
3. Reduction in travelway width required by Section 14.12.17(C)(1).
These waivers may be granted as provided in Section 14.12.2(c) if it is found that the public health, safety
or welfare would be equally or better served by the modification or waiver and that the modification or
waiver would not otherwise be contrary to the purpose and intent of this chapter. In performing the
review I also took into the comments of the County Engineer.
These waivers are approved. The County has acknowledged the rural characteristic of the area and of
rural churches generally. Granting these waivers serves to maintain the character of the area which
promotes the public welfare. Granting the waivers does not endanger the public health or safety.
These waivers are approved subject to the following conditions:
1. Development of the site must be consistent with any conditions of SP 2010 — 10.
2. Timbers shall be installed to delineate the edge of parking areas. The location of these timbers
are to be shown on the site plan.
Sincerely,
William D. Fritz, AICP
Chief of Current Development
