<br />WOOD BROTHER CHURCH SITE <br />PUBLIC HEARING cont'd <br /> <br />Mr. Wurl stated that he would like to get the <br />church site situation corrected. He stated that <br />there was disagreement between Wood Brothers and <br />the City in regards to the dedication of land <br />for a church site. Mr. Wurl stated that at the <br />time of annexation procedures a discussion was <br />held on the dedication of land for a church site. <br />Mr. Wurl stated that he understood Wood Brothers <br />to say that they would donate the church site, <br />however, a letter was written from Wood Brothers <br />stating that the land would be set aside either <br />until the land is platted or the one year limi- <br />tation is up. The land is now being platted. <br />Mr. Conarroe stated that he remembered when he was <br />on Planning Commission that Wood Brothers agreed <br />to a land donation for a church site. <br />Mr. Holly stated that on none of Wood Brothers <br />annexations have they ever donated land for a <br />church site. The land is held under certain <br />stipulations for sale to churches who may be <br />interested but the land is never donated. Mr. <br />Holly stated that a letter was sent from Wood <br />Brothers stating that the land would be reserved <br />but not donated. <br />It was stated that the agreement for the site was <br />not in the annexation ordinance because it was <br />discussed and penciled in on the plat during <br />the second reading of the annexation ordinances. <br />Therefore, there were no written records stating <br />that the site would be donated. <br />Mr. Wurl stated that he still felt strongly <br />that there was a verbal committment. <br />It was stated that the land which was reserved <br />for the church site is part of the tract being <br />platted for the new homes. <br />After discussion, Mr. Wurl ran through minutes <br />which pertained to the Wood Brothers development. <br />He then read the letter from Wood Brothers in <br />regards to the church site. Within the letter <br />it stated that Wood Brothers would make the land <br />for sale to any interested church at the current <br />price. <br />Mr. Holly stated that Wood Brothers would reserve <br />another church site for a specified length of time <br />in the amount of three acres in a different <br />location then was first discussed since the land <br />will now be platted for the patio homes. Mr. <br />Holly stated that it might be the City wish to <br />reserve three acres from the open space land for <br />a church site. <br />Mayor Waschak opened to discussion for a public <br />hearing. <br />Mr. Conarroe stated that he was in favor of <br />land being taken from the open space for a church <br />site. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
