'JUL 16 1966 BOOK 6 PA"it 101 r-- 1 Pastor Wilson explained that their problem came about when they came back to change their entire building at which time they had to redraw their plans all over and restructure to meet the ordinance. When they returned with these plans, they met up with new staff people and a new set of ordinances, which required a setback of 30' from each lot line. Their building will not fit in with those new requirements. Chairman Scurlock advised that he had indicated to Pastor Wilson that we have a real problem setting a precedent, but he thought there might be some relief if he could document that he was in the process and could meet the current standards at the time it was being considered and suggested that he present this to the Board. Planning Director Keating - that there has been a significant dance as to now cnui ches and special exception uses are treated in residential areas. These changes have been put in to protect adjacent properties. His suggestion was that the applicant be encouraged to go through the process and file whatever appeals or variance requests are necessary to take care of the situation. Chairman Scurlock stated that, in his opinion, there is no way the church can meet the requirements of the current ordinance, and he felt the only possible relief would be that he" was vested under the old ordinance; although he was not sure they could have developed the project under the old ordinance. Pastor Wilson advised that one of the things they were told was that they did not have the application in at the time of the old ordinance. They would have submitted the application but were told to hold it because of the major changes they had. They were stuck by holding onto their application and going back to redraw their plans to what they thought were the specifications. He noted that this is an existing building; the church is 80 years old; and they are trying to add a fellowship hall to the back of it. 54 M M M
