Mr. Zylla exp.lained that his original advice to his clients was not to apply for a conditional use permit on this particular property because their investment would be jeopardized if there future expansions were not approved. He stated it is absolutely critical that the expansion be approved as it doesn't mal/e semse to make such a large investment and then not be able to expand. He suggested thc Commission decide upon a setback requirement to protect the neighbors as opposed to denying his. clients approval of an expansion He added that the scale for the expansion was arrived at from the 1973 expansion projection plans submitted by Lord of Life Church. Chairman Zimlnerman stated that the expansion pan of this proposal was not noted in the public hearing notice and since it is a significant issue, a decision should not be made tonight. Commissione~iHendriksen felt that the Commission was offered very little information regarding the expansion~which makes it very difficult to assess the impact on the neighborhood. He requested some type of site plan showing the anticipated expansion. Ms. Owens staled that they didn't have any particular intentions of expansion, they just don't want to be limited ih the event there is a need for expansion.
