Dear Council Members:
You referred to this office for recommendation the request
of Emmaus Lutheran Church for permit to extend the canopy
for the entrance walk over the public sidewalk to the front
curb on the south side of Idaho between Lexington and Ox-
ford.
This type is not permitted under the Building Code. It al-
so would break the building line and would require an appli-
cation for breaking the building line to be referred to the
Board of Zoning and then referred back to the Council.
It is the recommendation of this office that the application
to extend the canopy over.the public sidewalk to the front
curb be denied.

Mr. Joseph Okoneski
City Clerk

Dear Sir:
This is in the matter of the application of the Emmaus Lutheran Church to establish
a new building line on property located on the south side,of Idaho Avenue between
Lexington Avenue and Oxford Street. The property is described as Lots 1 and 2,'ex-
cept the south 63.5 feet, Block 8; Como Addition. The zoning is "A" Residence and
has been since the adoption of the Ordinance in 1922.
At present, there is a church structure on this property which was erected in 1949,
and the applicant proposes to enlarge the structure to accomodate approximately 800
worshippers, plus Sunday school facilities, as shown on the architect's plan, a copy
of which is attached. The church property includes the entire frontage along the
south tide of Idaho Avenue between Lexington Avenue and Oxford Street which is approxi-
mately 508 feet, and a frontage along both Lexington Avenue and Oxford Street of
approximately 133 feet, resulting in an approximate area of 67,564 square feet or
1.55 acres. This includes the parking lot and play areas.
The existing building line along Idaho Avenue as established by the Zoning Code is
27 feet. The applicant is requesting that a 20 foot building line be established
along Idaho Avenue for the main church structure. He is also asking that a building
line of zero (0) feet be granted on the east,20 feet of the west 146 feet of this
site so that a canopy may be built- from the church structure to the Idaho property
line. The ultimate plan�`of this church plant also requires a relaxation in the re-
quired set back from the south property I ne. However, this is not being considered
at this time. /
The entire surrounding area is developed with single family residences. Field investi-
gation discloses no objection to the 20 foot building line for the main church
structure. However, the requested building line of zero (0) feet for the canopy is
not desirable as it will establish an undesirable precedent. It is felt that if a
canopy is necessary for coverage to and from cars, one could be erected with a set back
of 12 feet and a circular drive within the church property. This drive would provide
reservoir space off the street for cars waiting to load or unload passengers.
The Board of Zoning considered this appeal
they recommend the granting of the building
Lots 1 and 2, Block 8, Como Addition, and
east 20 feet of the west 146 feet on.tbe
