Adopted Minutes Page 3 of 5 Regular Meeting of October 25, 2016

has become an asset to the community. Parking in the neighborhood has been challenging at
times, but the church has been responsive to address the issues. The church also met with
neighbors regarding their concerns. She voiced her support for the proposed addition to the
church and requested that the footbridge not be removed.
Sid Stivland, 17725 6th Avenue North, and Glen Pritchard, 520 Narcissus Lane, agreed with Ms.
Kratoska's comments.

With the proposed addition, there will still be adequate parking and it doesn't affect the
entry or exit driveway into the church.
The church will continue to address parking issues in the neighborhood as they come up.

contains the footbridge.
The church will replace the cracked driveway apron and consider any improvements that
