Ed Napoleon responded that the chapel height at its highest point would be almost at the same height as this proposed structure. He did not have the exact elevation of the chapel. Doug Maass stated that the building dwarfs anything around it. He stated that it is a large building in an open area. Ed Napoleon responded that the building is 107-feet long. He stated that the existing chapel is about 75-feet long. The Chair referred to Policy 25(b). He stated that he is having a hard time seeing how this application enhances the viewshed identified in this policy. Ralph Gunderman asked about the selection of this location.

Don Stever responded that the evergreens would take away the park-like character of the cemetery. Don Stever asked how many 6” caliber trees would be removed. Dan Penella responded that a total of ten (10) trees are proposed to be removed. Don Stever stated that the policy refers to saving mature trees that are 6” caliber or greater.

Ed Napoleon responded the building would be a public building.

Don Stever responded that the building would look larger if it were angled. He stated that the building is massive. Ed Napoleon stated that many cemeteries are moving to a community mausoleum. Don Stever recalled a previous cemetery site issue when the cemetery filled-in a wetland and ravine on-site to accommodate additional plots. He stated that the cemetery might be back in a few years with another building. He stated that this might be setting a precedent. The Chair stated that the Committee could make a decision this evening or could ask the applicant to re-evaluate the selected site and see if there is another available location. Ed Napoleon responded that he would like the Committee to make their decision this evening. He stated that the Cemetery Board could choose to re-design the structure or select an alternative site. The Committee found the application to be inconsistent with Policy 25-b of the LWRP. It was unanimous (5-0). 3) Other The Chair referred to the timing of receiving materials.
