Wagner, Director of Planning SUBJ: Request for Fee Waiver Celebration Baptist Church Pastor Tim Gunter Celebration Baptist Church intends to file a Special.Exception Application to permit operation of a church within the Orange Tree Plaza on Maguire Road. Pastor Gunter has requested that the City Commission waive the required $750 Special Exception Application flat fee and other related fees per the attached letter. In the past, the City Commission has granted fee waivers for rezonings and special exceptions which were initiated by church sponsors. This has included the Reformed Presbyterian Church in 1988, St. Paul's Presbyterian Church in 1990 and 1992, Glad Tidings Assembly of God in 1994, Winter Garden Seventh Day Adventist Church in 1994, and Christian Service Center of Central Florida in 1995. This is a fairly common practice by other local governments, although the City's Land Development Code does not specifically address such waivers. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve a wavier of all special exception fees related to the Celebration Baptist Church application.

Lakeshore Drive Ocoee, FL 34761 Dear Mr. Mayor and Commissioners, Celebration Baptist Church is seeking to obtain a zoning special exception. We are renting suite "a" of Orange Tree Plaza, 1575 Maguire Road and want to hold church services there. This is a temporary arrangement and we are only seeking a one year exception. The church has property on East Crown Point Road in Winter Garden and plans to move to that location by the summer of 1997. Nathan Dykgraaf,the property owner, and I had a pre-application meeting with Mr. Russ Wagner of the Planning Department. Mr. Wagner informed us of the application requirements. We have prepared the necessary information. We humbly request that the $750.00 application fee and other related fees be waived. The need for the special exception took us totally by surprise. Since we only have a few people in our congregation this extra expense presents a huge obstacle. If you could help us by waiving the application fee we would be most grateful for your good favor. Celebration is a new church sponsored by the Palm Springs Drive Baptist Church, Altamonte Springs, FL, and supported by the Orlando Baptist Church, Orlando, FL and the Baptist Bible Fellowship of Florida. Your consideration of our request is honored by us all. Thank you very much. I am very sincerely yours, \::.,i:' c igu,-. ---- Tim Gunter Pastor V•A� \plc./U'EII-k'I �A�E 1•A'V�A V"'V'v' 'V•"1+ "V•X"ViA' `•A',`' ',`•l.'E y'A',ryrJ.�V i'V„"■ rh'+,•X�V"`V l:'V rA V� V V VAV V V V V V V V V V V V V V V A� �A� rj:� f � �� JO®:tenon ya,y6nonone5n6[. n6ne5nan®n6non6n(5n®von(non�n®n n(5n�noQ4 0 Sel 1 5„,). .... a � � _- o _mo03. of . 0 t = _iow aw •- -i() p Cling SOD WE GUSt D. 40, BPparfniPnt of ttatP �« C q.8 RA R ez I certifythe attached is a true and correct copyof the Articles of Incorporation of p �� �w° CELEBRATION BAPTIST CHURCH OF OCOEE, INC., a Florida corporation, R_° D Z filed on October 9, 1996 effective October 4, 1996, as shown by the records of cl •� this office.
