The need a variance to maintain the twenty-foot separation between the buildings as required by the building codes, setback on the alley, and setback from the property line that runs across the middle of their two lots. The third part of the variance has to do with parking spaces. The have since the beginning used parking along the perimeter of their lots and they realize that those parking spaces are more on town right-of-way than on their property.

Mr. Crouch asked if the new building would be on a block crawl space and Mr. White said it would be on block columns, there is about twelve ten foot column with skirting that goes around them. Mr. White said they would be strapping the building down according to code. Mr. Crouch asked what was across the alley and Mr. White answered there was a block building, homes and garages. Mr. Crouch asked if the siding would be four inch lap siding and Mr. White said it would be the same size that is on houses and beige in color like the existing building. Mr. Kramer asked if there were any questions from the audience and Mr. Mark Hutter, 203 Taylor Street, stated that his major concern as the Church get bigger is the parking. He was wondering, as the church gets bigger where the people will park. Will they be parking along the roads or people's yards. Mr. White stated that when the church grew to large to need more parking than they had now, their long-term plans were to relocate. Mr. Swisher asked if they had any plans for additional services and he said that was something they would consider when they got to that growth stage. He said they would keep within their parking limitation and he would not want people parking along the street in front of the neighbors homes.

Mr. Brown said they had asked a small two by three sign, set back twenty-five feet and he was told that was in the limitations of the ordinance. Mr. Barry said he was correct. Mr. Brown said that after a survey was done, they would like to extend the driveway to accommodate two cars width. Mr. Crouch asked if they were going to live in the home and Mr. Brown said they were not planning on living there, but the reason for the asking for a variance and not a rezone was in the future they may want to live there as a retirement home.
