Home My WebLink AboutCorrespondence Shestak, Joe From:Conn, Angelina V Sent:Tuesday, January 21, 2025 12:34 PM To:Mindham, Daren Cc:Shestak, Joe; Jesse, Christina Subject:RE: PZ-2024-00011 TAC - Connection Pointe Christian Church Updates Follow Up Flag:Follow up Flag Status:Completed Hi, Daren – Alli in Legal let us know that we can request landscaping compliance as a condition of approval for the BZA sign variance, as part of our Recommendation to the BZA Hearing O?icer. (V) Connection Pointe Church Sign Variance. The applicant seeks the following development standards variance approval for a wall sign: Docket No. PZ-2024-00243 V UDO Section 5.39.3(h)(i) Sign height (109” height allowed, 117.6” requested). The site is located at 2599 E. 98th St. and is zoned S2/Residence and Keystone Parkway Overlay District. Filed by Sarah Zimmerman with Connection Pointe Church. What and how much landscaping do you want to request as a condition of approval? The 30-wide greenbelt plus all the plantings required within that 30-ft wide area? …That would be a lot of plantings required by the church, for an honest mistake the sign company made on the slightly larger sign size… Maybe there is a compromise? Please let me know plant numbers, and I will add it to tomorrow’s BZA Dept. Report. Thank you.

I wanted to verify with you before no?fying them in a comment, because this area is within the Keystone Overlay, they have to plant within the required greenbelt according to the UDO Sec?on below, correct? I’m a?aching their landscape plan. This is a good opportunity to bring the site into compliance and I wanted to make sure they did not have any variances for this sec?on before advising them to work with you. Please let me know your thoughts.

Resolved 19 1 Urban Forestry Daren Mindham 2/7/24 10:12 AM Comment I would highly recommend 5-7 longer living oak trees, like red oak or chinkapin oak, between the building and Keystone at 40 foot spacing to provide a level of buffering and aesthetics for both Keystone traffic and site visitors. I would also recommend a row of shrubbery between the parking lot and the 98th St/Keystone intersection for beautification and screening of cars. The shrub row would not need to be adjacent to the parking lot but could be within the lawn area as desired.
