youth activity; we may have various things going on during the week; but they're always
in much smaller numbers - we might have a revival once a year or a church - conference
of some kind where we would have two (2), or three (3), four (4) nights of services." Dr.

about earlier this evening that we need to modify regarding parking within the setback -
that is depicted on the Final Engineering Plans as a possible area for parking. Parking
within the setback must be of last resort. Further, there is no overnight parking within the
setback area and no demarcation of parking spaces in the setback area. It could be used
for overflow parking but it's not an established - technically an established parking area
under the Code."
Mayor Bush asked, "Does the Church have any issue with any of that?" No objections
were voiced.

We do what churches do. We may have a funeral; we may have wedding; we may have a
youth activity; we may have various things going on during the week; but they're always
in much smaller numbers - we might have a revival once a year or a church -conference
of some kind where we would have two (2), or three (3), four (4) nights of services." Dr.

that is depicted on the Final Engineering Plans as a possible area for parking. Parking
within the setback must be of last resort. Further, there is no overnight parking within the
