Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that Connections Church has been involved in the discussions related to Highway 10 and are aware of the potential to have an exit ramp on the property. She stated that staff is looking at alternate options, but the Church has been a great partner. Commissioner Johnson asked if the plans for the Church would impact the current Highway 10 proposal.
