Next was Doug Moore, Holloway Engineering, representing the Grace Missionary Church, Allison Rd., requesting a variance to build over the lot line. The church has acquired the property north of Allison Road and they desire to construct a church on that property. The hardships on the property are a creek and the flood plain that extends well into the property. Because the property is divided into two parcels and the hardships they will have to build the church to the south and the east so they will have to build across the property line. They own both pieces of property. They plan to maintain setbacks from the residential area to the east and they would like to push the building to the south and the east to build on the hill to be out of the flood plain. This will allow them to utilize their property. The east line of the property will be the rear line and the setback will be forty feet from the east property line. Mr. Tim Ash, 13630 N. Duncan Drive, Camby, IN, is concerned about the height of the building. Will it be a two story building, will the elevation be changed, or will it shade his whole lot. Will the forty foot setback be from the easement or the property line. He is concerned about the buffer or green area that they were told they would have. Mr. Mike Griffith, 13616 N. Duncan Dr., Camby, IN, said his concern is that they have a fifteen foot easement and they were told that this easement would not be affected by this property. They want to know if the forty foot setback is from the edge of the easement or the property line. He would like to know if the large trees that are in the easement will be preserved. There are some proposed out lots on Allison Road, they would like to know more about those. Mr. Moore said they should have been removed from the plan and the plan at this point is very very flexible. Mr. Moore said the setbacks will be maintained according to the zoning ordinance, there will be a green area where they cannot build in, and as far as the out lots, baseball diamonds, maintenance shed, lights or anything else that is still all in the future as to what they are going to do here. At this point they do not want to build in the flood plain and they want as much of the improvements out of the flood plain as far as possible. Any permanent structure has to be two feet above base flood elevation. The height of the building and the building material of the building are still up in the air at this point. He said they would not object to putting up a tree line as a buffer.
