acknowledge that errors were made in the Building Department in that the Building
Department did not ascertain prior to the issuance of the permit for the Seminole
Baptist Temple that the Council had approved variances in set back requirements for
this conditional use, recognize the basis for the Building Department's issuance of
the permit and that there was apparently no malicious intent on its part, still
