Motion by Leverkuhn, seconded by Baker, to waive the reading <br />and adopt the attached resolution except that items two and <br />three under Now Therefore Be It Resolved be amended as follows: <br />2. That the building was originally constructed <br />as a school and retains that character. <br />3. That the applicant has shown unique and un- <br />usual circumstances for the variance. <br />BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application is and hereby recommended <br />for approval. <br />Commissioner Baker stated he also examined other churches in the <br />community and that Atonement Lutheran Church on Silver Lake Road <br />has an almost identical cross to the one proposed. Commissioner <br />Baker stated that Salem Baptist and Christ the King Church had <br />similar crosses which have established a pattern. <br />Commissioner Leverkuhn stated that the only reason the applicant is <br />in the present position is because the church was not originally <br />designed as a church and that the applicant should not be penalized <br />for this. <br />Chairman Williams stated that approving the applicant's variance <br />would not be setting a precident. <br />Vote on Motion <br />5 ayes - 0 Hayes Motion Carried <br />
