Planning & Zoning Board November 12, 2003 Page 10 She indicated they intended to be a multi - campus church and to date, this was their only plan for growth. Mr. Tralle asked where would the additional 700 seat be located. Ms. Leonidas replied it would be in the existing footprint plans, with the exception of additional classroom facilities, which would be roughly 9 percent of the overall space now. Mr. Tralle asked if there would be a gymnasium added in the future. Ms. Leonidas replied a gymnasium was already on the existing plan. Chair Schaps asked if there was going to be any more neighborhood meetings. Mr. Stull replied they would hold as many neighborhood meetings as the residents wanted. Chair Schaps suggested they have another public hearing prior to the next Board meeting and stated it would be helpful if some of those questions would be asked before this meeting. Jeff Williams, 1920 Rehbein, asked when Mr. Stull had come out with the surveys.

Mr. Williams asked when this was done. Mr. Stull replied it was done over three days, Friday, Saturday and Tuesday. Mr. Williams stated to -date he had only received their newsletter and no other information. Chair Schaps requested Mr. Williams be informed of all meetings.

She stated they were just as deserving of time and effort. She stated the neighbors had spent many, many hours of their time on this project and she wanted the Board to hear their concerns. She indicated this was a highly emotional issue, but they were trying to keep it factual. She noted everything about this development had changed. She indicated she had no issue with the churches mission, but things needed to be separated out. She indicated they needed to look at the zoning issues and if this was too large of a development for this site. She asked them to look at how this would affect their quality of life. She stated this development needed to be done right. She indicated this was not a land use that was dedicated for this type of a development, without MUSA and the road infrastructure. She indicated she had met with City staff for over three hours and this area was zone light residential. She indicated the previous owner had not DRAFT MINUTES • • •
