U11-02/VC11-04, Inner Quest Church expansion, 12830 New Providence Road,
Lisa Peacck
Request(s):
To expand the existing 3,700 sq ft church to add a new building consisting of a
7,776 sq ft sanctuary, for a total of 11,576 sq ft within 2 buildings; a total of 224
seats.
With a 4 part concurrent variance:
o To reduce the 75 foot undisturbed buffer and 10 foot improvement
setback along the west property line where the existing parking lot
encroached to a 25 foot undisturbed buffer, and 10 foot
improvement setback
o To reduce the 75 foot undisturbed buffer and 10 foot improvement
setback along the north property line where the existing and
proposed parking encroach to a 25 foot undisturbed buffer and 10
foot improvement setback
o To allow a 6 over 8 roof pitch
o To increase the front setback from 30 feet from the landscape strip to
250 feet
Comments:
o New building should be similiar in style to the existing farm
building/house as possible and incorporate materials.
o Difference between the required 8/12 roof pitch, and the requested
5/12 pitch is about 7 vertical feet. Prefer higher pitch. Lower roof
looks more industrial.
o Consider dormers, or some treatment to break up mass of roof.
o Consider wider vertical bands of hardiplank. Consider top of building
vertical; bottom horizontal. Consider a 5” wide siding which is
reflective of older buildings.
o Since the north side of the property is adjacent to residential, provide
adequate landscaping to create buffer.
o Likes the idea of gravel parking lot/minimizing asphalt.
o Take into consideration the look of buildings across the street.
o Although the building is not prominent on the property now, it could
be in the future as the church expands.
V11-014 2825 Mountain Road, James Sutton
Request(s):
To allow a house and garage addition to encroach into the front yard
setback (Article/Section 64-1094.D)
Comment(s):
o All materials should match existing building, as well as roof, window
style, etc.
V11-015 1005 Krobot Way, Milton Preserve, Chris Sears
Request(s):
To allow two, 16 square feet signs at the entrance of a subdivision zoned
TR (Article/Section 64-2303)
Comment(s):
o No issues.
o Meet all landscaping requirements.
V11-016, 13940 Atlanta National Drive, Aliaune Thiam
Request(s):
a. To allow a fence/wall in the Northwest Overlay to be opaque
(stucco) and wrought iron with stucco columns, adjacent to
a public street.
b. To allow a fence/wall in the Northwest Overlay to exceed 55”
in height, adjacent to a public street.
c. To allow chain link fencing that is visible from public view.
(Article 64-1142 7a,b, 8)
Comment(s):
o A privacy fence standard needs to be developed for the overlay
because one does not currently exist.
o The white color of the stucco wall would be too bright; prefer a more
neutral color.
o Break up wall with groupings of mixed hardwoods and evergreens,
spaced a minimum of 20’ or as recommended by the Arborist.
Heights of plantings should vary. Planting plan to be approved by
city Arborist.
o Set wall back far enough from road to allow plantings.
o Why replace the chain link with solid wrought iron? Would prefer
wrought iron with columns.
V11-017, 13700 Highway 9 North, Penn Hodge
Request(s):
To reduce the number of required parking spaces from 62 to 50
Comment(s):
o The street trees removed previously should be replaced prior to
issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.
