The required 5' sidewalk would require more area in the right-of-way than currently available, resulting in the reshaping of the ditch thereby reducing the capacity and obstructing the flow. $ 2.

The 62-acre center will include a multi- purpose building for meetings, a chapel for religious services, cabins for overnight stays, a covered pavilion, play field for outdoor activities and walking trails. Normal hours of operation for the youth center will be Monday thru Friday, 7:30 a.m. till 4:00 p.m. Weekend retreats will include overnight stays and there will be supervised your group meetings after school during the week. The existing retreat center to the south is currently zoned PUD. Rezoning the subject property to PUD would allow for the Specific Use Permit needed to allow the requested youth encampment. The comprehensive plan indicates this area should be developed as a neighborhood growth unit. The requested PUD zoning could allow for such growth in the event the property is sold. The property is bordered by Walker Branch ditch on the east, Tram Road to the north and N. Major Drive to the west. The site plan includes a minimum of 70 feet of natural woods between the development and other properties or rights-of-way on all sides. As long as these wooded areas are maintained, no perimeter landscaping will be required. For the parking area, four (4) islands, peninsulas, or medians will be required. The medians shall be required to contain one (1) class A tree or two (2) class B trees for each twenty-five (25) linear feet of median. Each island or peninsula required shall at minimum contain one (1) class A tree or two (2) class B trees. Slides of the subject property, site plan and surrounding area were shown.
