Planning Commission Page 12 <br />May 28, 2019 <br />----------------------------- <br />Mr. Leeseberg presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Chair Johnson opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Pastor David Doppenberg addressed the Planning Commission and explained they <br />are receiving bids to update the sprinkler system to sprinkle the whole building and <br />update the handicapped accessibility. He stated this is a tight time frame and <br />explained that’s why the updated request is asking for a 6 year interim use permit. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rydberg asked if this was a tenant/lease situation or is the school a <br />part of the church. <br /> <br />Pastor Doppenberg stated it’s a public school with a lease agreement. <br /> <br />Leah Studaker – 19680 Ironton Circle, stated she is the founding board chair for <br />Three Rivers Montessori Charter School.
