9,2005,and upon denial of the request,the hearing would be scheduled for December 7,2005. She further
stated the Department of Planning Services understands the concerns of the applicant; however, staff
recommends denial of the request. Responding to Chair Jerke, Ms. Hatch stated granting the pre-
advertisement request would schedule the hearing before the Board one month earlier. Barb Brunk,
LifeBridge Christian Church representative, stated a matter of 30 days is a significant amount of time for
the building contractor,as they would like to begin developing the physical design plans. She further stated
the existing zoning on the property allows the proposed use. Responding to ChairJerke, Mr. Barker stated
the applicant still must meet the justifications for a pre-advertisement request to be granted, even though
many facts about the proposed property have been previously discussed in a hearing before the Board.
Ms. Brunk stated the applicant has worked diligently with Planning Staff to ensure the accuracy of the
application. Responding to CommissionerGeile, Mr. Barker stated the terms of the notification process will
remain the same,and the public will have the same amount of time to respond if they are in opposition. He
further stated granting a pre-advertisement request simply removes the lag time between hearings. Chair
Jerke stated he was not in opposition to the request. Commissioner Long moved to approve said request.
Seconded by Commissioner Masden, the motion carried unanimously.
