COMMITTEE BUSINESS Case #1: Consider Authorization for Lord of Life Memorial Gardens Master Plan Redesign Finance Officer Lund reviewed that during the City Council meeting of August 22, 2005, the City Council considered a request to enter into a dialogue with the Lord of Life Church concerning the possible realignment of T.H. #47 to U.S. Highway #10 via Dysprosium Street. It was reported during that meeting that the church had spent a considerable amount of time and money to produce a vision of the future development of the Memorial Gardens site. The proposed realignment of T.H. #47 would significantly impact their future Master Plan for the Memorial Gardens and the City agreed to contract with the architect of the Lord of Life Church to redesign and update the Maser Plan of the site to determine the amount of land that would be necessary to satisfy the need for space and accomplish the intended uses on the site. The City utilized the services of Vanman Architects & Builders, Inc. and contracted for the work to be performed. Ms. Lund advised a report was completed in November 2005, and the Lord of Life Church Board agreed in December that the revised T.H. #47 realignment through the Lord of Life property would be a workable plan.
