Administrator Chandler <br />stressed that in talking with the church, he made it plain that <br />if they were talking a short term lease, we would change our <br />plans. They indicated they were looking at a long term relation- <br />ship as they need that parking themselves. <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed part of the assurance is that <br />the church is facing the same problem with parking requirements <br />as we are if they wish to expand in the future. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if both the county and the church <br />could utilize the same parking area in their site plans, and <br />Administrator Chandler advised that the City Code has a provision <br />allowing such joint use. <br />Commissioner Scurlock did not know if this is the time to <br />discuss it, but obviously we have made a substantial commitment <br />and are moving ahead with our plans for the library and also the <br />court facilities project in the downtown area, and it seems there <br />is some miscommunication about this in relation to the downtown <br />redevelopment effort.

He felt they did have some good arguments in <br />favor of raising density and heights for the downtown area, but <br />he personally is philosophically and totally opposed to going any <br />higher than 50' and also to raising density no matter how good <br />27 <br />VAR 21 1989 <br />ROOK 76 FAC[ 41 + <br />
