<br />Interim Use Permit Application <br /> <br />Attachment B <br /> <br />To: The CityofRamsey <br /> <br />3/4/09 <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />Freedom Christian Center International (FCCI) desires to lease the property at 6937 Hwy 10, Suite 160 in <br />Ramsey for its temporary church home. We pledge our cooperation in meeting all necessary city and state <br />requirements and we earnestly desire the favor of the City of Ramsey so that this new home might become a . <br />reality! I am sure you are aware of the advantages of having established churches in Ramsey. One of which is <br />the nearby availability of a place of worship for those interested in moving to Ramsey, another being the <br />increased exposure to nearby businesses, particularly restaurants, frequented before and after services. Of <br />course the benefit of a leasee to the owners of Ramsey Town Square is obvious. <br /> <br />Current meetings and attendance <br /> <br />FCCI was established in 2004 and currently has approximately 75 members. FCCI's Pastor has been licensed <br />and ordained~ince 1990 and is a member of several minister's organizations. FCCI meets on Sundays at 10:00 <br />AM until 12:00 PM for regular worship service with most members in attendance. We also meet every <br />Thursday evening at 7:00 PM for our weekly bible study, these meetings usually have 20-25 in attendance. <br /> <br />Future growth and attendance <br /> <br />FCCI will be signing a 3 year lease, with 2 years renewable (total of 5 years) on suite #160, (5500 sq. ft.), to <br />use for a 120-150 seat sanctuary as well as classrooms, offices, lunchroom, and necessary restrooms (see <br />drawing). It is our desire to grow in attendance during this time to 150 members while using Suite#160. We <br />have also requested the first option on leasing the adjacent suite #140, (2760 sq. ft. *), to expand the <br />sanctuary an additional 50 seats to 200, as well as additional classrooms and nursery. FCCI is not pursuing <br />growth beyond 200 members in the Ramsey Square facility but will be pursuing the purchase of our own <br />property in Ramsey as we begin to reach capacity. <br /> <br />*(CciuId this Suite 140 be included on this interim use permit?) <br /> <br />Viability <br /> <br />We (FCCI) believe that the Ramsey Square property would work well for the following reasons: <br /> <br />. The existing parking at the site (91 spaces) is more than adequate for our planned <br />attendance. <br />. We are willing and able to meetthe code requirements for restrooms and sprinklers. <br />. Our meeting times are not in conflict with other businesses in complex. <br />. The two entrance/exits onto Hwy 10 would allow adequate traffic flow. <br />. Our main vehicle traffic (9:30-10AM and 12:00-12:30 Sundays) is not during peak hwy <br />traffic. <br /> <br />Thank you so much for your service!
