Remin repeated that they are attempting to determine whether Council will require that the maximum height limit is met and he stated that it doesn't appear that Council would completely object to a church exceeding that limit. Mayer replied that there is some flexibility, however, he cautioned that this doesn't mean he will automatically approve a building height of seventy-five feet with an architectural element rising to over one hundred feet high.
