recommended by the Planning Commission, Development Standards include a variance from the
standard setback for the proposed addition in Development Standard#3. She stated the applicant
is also required to enter into an Improvements Agreement and post adequate collateral for the on-
site improvements and pavement of the adjacent alley; however,the majority of the improvements
are being donated by church members,therefore,the applicant is requesting deletion of Condition

Ann Best-Johnson, Todd Hodges Design, LLC, represented the applicant, gave a brief summary
of the project, and stated the applicant has been waiting for approval prior to beginning site work.
She stated the setback will be two feet or greater from the alley, and not less than the existing
structure from Second Street. She reviewed the Site Plan, showing the layout of the property. Ms.
Best-Johnson further stated the applicant did include documents from Galeton Sanitation District,
North Weld Water District, and Galeton Fire Protection District with the application materials. She
said they have also been working with the Department of Public Works on the alley improvements
to accomplish drainage. Ms. Best-Johnson stated the applicant has been located at this site for
74 years, and that the applicant wishes to state that reasonable accommodations will be made per
purview of the American Disability Act, and Ms. Best-Johnson specified exactly how
accommodation will be made.
Responding to Commissioner Vaad, Ms. Best-Johnson, reiterated the alley has no requirement for
setback; however, the applicant will offset the building by two feet. Dennis Egge, Galeton
Community Church, stated because of the width of the alley, they have narrowed it down,and they
will pave the center of the alley, giving additional footage away from the edge of the alley. He
stated there is currently a 20-foot right-of-way in the alley, and they are only going to do a 14-foot
travel surface, therefore, the building will not be crowded. Commissioner Jerke stated Condition
of Approval 1.6.1 and 2 could be deleted, due to the ability of the church to accomplish their own
landscaping, etc. Mr. Egge stated he appreciates Commissioner Jerke's confidence, and noted
he has talked to Ms. Lockman as to what they are planning, and that the trash issue has been
resolved.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter.
Chair Long verified with Mr. Egge that he has read the Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards, along with the proposed amendments, he agrees with them.
Commissioner Jerke moved to remove Conditions of Approval#1.B.1 and 2. Commissioner Vaad
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
Commissioner Jerke moved to approve the request of Galeton Community Church for a Site
Specific Development Plan and Amended Use by Special Review Permit#794 for a Church in the
A(Agricultural)Zone District,based on the recommendations of the Planning staff and the Planning
Commission,with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as modified by staff and
requested by the applicant. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Vaad, and it carried
unanimously. There being no further discussion, the hearing was completed at 10:55 a.m.
