D'Arcy Bosell, 2601 Ridge Lane, stated that she is opposed to the city
condoning any violation of its ordinances.
Stanley Ziska, 7501 Spring Lake Road stated that his child attends the
Center's school and that he is concerned about disrupting the educational
process.
Attorney Meyers responded to questions by Councilman Johnson by stating
that the zoning code does not require any notice of violation or grace
period for compliance. He stated that if the operator chooses not to
obey Council directive the city could seek an injunction. He noted
that this meeting is notice to the Council that there is a zoning
violation. There does not appear to be any way to give the Center notice,
allowing them time to implement fire precautions, and still absolve
the city of any liability in the meantime.
Mr. Chandler stated that the important question is how great is the
risk of fire. By using the roving fire monitors, as suggested by the
fire chief, the risk would be minimal, and he is sure the Center will
agree to hire monitors.
Administrator Achen read the amended motion and noted that there appears
to be a contradiction between the original motion and the amendment.
Attorney Meyers suggested that the amended motion be clarified, and
he questioned whether it was proper for the Council to inquire about
accreditation of the school.
Mayor Neisen and Councilman Baumgartner withdrew their original motion
and second. The Mayor ruled that this withdraws both the original motion
and the amendment.
Mayor Neisen stated that, if someone from the Center would give the Council
notice of intent to apply for a special use permit, the application could
be put on the agenda of the next Planning Commission meeting. Rev. Bauman
answered that he would hereby give such notice. Attorney Meyers said that
as a courtesy, the Council could send the Center a notice of violation
and allow a reasonable time for compliance.
MSP (Johnson- Hodges) that the Council receive a special use permit appli-
cation from the Compassion Christian Center tonight, that a hearing be
set for December 23, and that the Planning Commission submit its recommen-
dation on the application prior to the hearing. Further, that the Center
be allowed until October 30 at 4:30 p.m. to provide fire prevention and
detection systems satisfactory to the fire chief and that a report of these
systems be submitted to the Council by the fire chief.
