Citizen Input <br />Tom Peterson, representing the applicant, stated that he was present to address any questions of <br />the Commission. <br />Chairperson Gengler asked the anticipated timeline for the building and mentioned expansion. <br />Mr. Peterson replied that there is no set timeline for a future expansion at this time, noting that <br />they are just providing the ability to expand in the future if that is needed. <br />Chairperson Gengler asked for details on the site configuration. <br />Mr. Peterson provided further clarification on how the traffic would flow through the site, noting <br />that the plans also showed how the site could grow in the future as well. He stated that if there <br />were an expansion proposed in the future, that would follow the same review process. <br />Commissioner Heineman asked if the sidewalk heading west would connect to something. <br />Mr. Peterson commented that would connect to the parking for PACT Charter School to <br />accommodate for shared parking. <br />City Planner Martin commented that there is a shared parking agreement between the church and <br />school. <br />Commissioner Peters asked if there would be church bells. <br />Randy Bauer, representing St. Katharine Drexel Church, commented that the church does not have <br />immediate plans for bells although they may consider a bell tower at some time in the future. He <br />stated that the multi -purpose space where services would be held would have just under 400 seats, <br />noting that the current space has 200 seats.
