for the church.

is to small, and they anticipate growth.

Mr. Finley indicated they did not have any formal plans, but were hoping to have
something within the next six to nine months.
Joe Falls indicated he did not feel this was best for long term.
Discussion regarding plans for the property.
City Manager indicated the City is not against the Church; however, he felt it was
dangerous to proceed with this permit. He indicated there was a lot of property zoned
agriculture, and this would set a precedence, and others could asked for this same
permit. He indicated that he felt the city needed to maintain the separation of mobile
homes, and agriculture.

unanimously.
