Rick Reinkenis from Holy Spirit Lutheran Church gave a review of the expansion plans for the church using a site development plan as a visual aid.  A petition had been filed with the County and the Church was getting ready for the public hearing process.  The Sanctuary itself would seat 300 people instead of 200; a multi purpose building and an educational building would be used for pre-K school (80 children), Sunday School, Bible Study, administration offices and a reception area.  An atrium, additional parking and landscaping were also included in the architect’s rendering.  Although Mr. Reinkenis answered many questions from the Board, i.e., water and irrigation, the primary concern was increased traffic.  Mr. Reinkenis stated that they did a traffic report (it’s on file with the County) and it does meet concurrency.  Blas Contreras thanked Mr. Reinkenis for the overview and asked that he keep the Board informed as to the progress of the project.

 

Covenants – Blas Contreras handed out a summary of the Covenants Community meeting that was held on April 28th and stated that he wanted to come up with a process of how to handle violations and make priorities and recommendations and then bring that process to the Board for their consideration.  Dave Mastran stated that he was against informing the County of any violations maintaining legal ramifications and basic trust issues.  Blas Contreras suggested that for the next Board Meeting a draft of pros and cons or a questionnaire should be made up.
