PUBLIC COMMENT
Pastor Bywater was present at the meeting to have questions answered regarding property
he is looking into to build a new church. The property is approximately 5.34 acres east
of Country Club Drive and North of M-80. Pastor Bywater was asking for preliminary
approval to move forward with the purchase of the property. He is concerned that he may
not be able to build a church and doesn’t want to invest money in the property. Questions
were asked regarding height restrictions, the Commission were unable to answer why the
restriction is written in the Zoning Ordinance. Chairman Wiley requested a copy of the
airport flight plan, which will be available at the next meeting. Deputy Clerk Rizzo will
contact Fran Brink. The Commission requested that Woody and Pastor Bywater work
