This is to inform everyone as to the status of the renovation project and property discussions with the recent survey findings.
A discrepancy has been found from the original deed when we purchased the property from Woodland Park Baptist Church and the new boundaries determined by our new survey. This survey was necessary to continue the process for determining the soft cost projections for the renovation project. There is a possibility that we do not own twenty five feet of property along Standifer Gap Road. The Crossing Church has hired a civil engineer to work with our architect to assist with the applications necessary to retain this property.
It was proposed and agreed that the best way to react was to ask for a “Right of Way Abandonment”. This would allow us to be granted the property back from the City of Chattanooga. The civil engineer and the architect are now in the process of getting all the documentation in place to apply for this with The Regional Planning Agency. This initial application must be presented to them by November 10, 2011. There will be many steps necessary to complete this process and we are just in the beginning stages.
As we progress and new information is available, we will continue to post these developments on this page. We are believing this will all work out and God’s plan will continue. Please be in prayer for the Lord’s favor.
