2. PC 2004 -20 Gospel Assemblv Church —1 % mile review
Committee Chairman Richard Sticka said the Plan Commission gave its recommendation
for approval. The Commission requested that easements for water and sewer be put in
along the property. Also, Sticka said Mrs. Mary Block who has a neighboring cattle
operation expressed concerns about her cattle and the well being of those attending the
church and asked for a fence to be erected along the church property.
Tom Grant, the attorney for the church, said he is well aware of Mrs. Block's concerns
and said a fence would be installed.
Mayor Art Prochaska asked about the timeline of building the church. The Rev. Tom
Schofield, the pastor of the church, said plans are to start building the church in the
spring. The property sits on 26 acres and the church will be built on the western parcel.
Mayor Prochaska said the property currently isn't contiguous to the city, but that it could
be eventually. If water and sewer lines eventually service the area, Mayor Prochaska said
the church could still use its well and septic.
The committee recommended the request for the review should go to the Committee of
the Whole with a recommendation for approval.

Sticka said there wasn't much discussion on the issue at the Plan Commission.

the buildings, as they are needed.
