He staxed it is absolutely critical that the expansion be approved as it doesn't make sense to make such a large investment a_nd then not be able to expand. He suggested the Co~ ,',i~sion de, de upon s setback requirement to protect the neighbors as opposed to denying Ms clients approx-~i of an exi~.msion. He added that the scale for the expansion was arrived at :h'om the 1973 expansion projection plans submined by Lord of I ~ife Church. Chairman Zimmerman stated that the expansion part of th.is proposal was not noted in the public hearing notice and since it is a sSgnfficant issue, a decision should not be m~de tonight.
