2. ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA:
ZEO Leeming stated the Third Baptist Church on Rocky Hollow Rd. will discuss under Public Comment a church school.
3. PUBLIC COMMENT:
ZEO Leeming stated that she had asked the Third Baptist Church to come before the Commission to discuss their plans for a school to help her interpret the regulations to see if the use is allowed. ZEO Leeming stated there is nothing in the regulations that allow for an educational facility, because in 2008 they took that regulation out assuming an educational facility would fall under municipality and would this use be considered customarily incidental and subordinate to the principal use.
Pastor Tim Gengarella stated that the school would be Christian oriented for children K-12 and the program is pace oriented with the children all meeting in one room. Pastor Gengarella stated it would be more like a home school environment with only 15-20 children and the church has no plans to enlarge the building.
Pastor Gengarella stated there would be two employees for the school and enrollment for the school is by invitation to a few other churches in the area and is a private non-profit school.
The Commission directed ZEO Leeming to contact an attorney to get his opinion on interpreting the regulation.
