general public. Mr. Denton felt that activity would be normal during the holiday season but understood that the minister and his family are interested in theater and drama and he wanted to know whether the church will be able to operate a theater with productions for extended periods of time. Mr. Denton also brought to the Board's attention the sodium lighting located on the church's grounds which is hung in pine trees, maybe 30 feet high. This lighting penetrates the darkness very well and has a very broad boundary which includes the whole area, discouraging the native wildlife and encouraging people who come on the property for fishing, etc. He stated that it is like living in a K -Mart parking lot with the lights on all night long.

He also stated that he would check with the Building Department regarding a permit for the shed being used for the storage of the puppets. Commissioner Macht suggested that the removal of the modular units be required when construction is completed or 3 years from the date of approval of the special exception, whichever occurs sooner. County Attorney Vitunac advised that the condition of the north driveway is a private matter between the 2 neighbors. Director Boling commented that staff will add to their recommendations that the modular units be removed on or before 3 years from the date of approval of the special exception or completion of Phase II, whichever comes first; that the Code Enforcement Department will investigate the trailer permit, the shielding of the lighting and the identification sign setback; that 800K ° 924 7 JUNE 49 1996 ` �afa; 21
