GracePoint Church (officially known as Salem Baptist Church) is requesting a permit to construct a section of galvanized chainlink fence 12 feet high and up to 150 feet in length, along the property line adjoining Brightwood Hills Golf Course to prevent errant golf balls from hitting and damaging vehicles parked in the church lot. This fence will not endanger the public in any way and will be a substantial benefit to anyone including golfers choosing to park in the upper lot that adjoins the golf course.

The location of this fence would parallel the existing golf course fence;beginning no more than 30 feet east of the south east corner of the present paved parking lot and running west for no more than 150 feet.
