The applicant stated he had worked with the various neighborhood associations in developing plans for the site. He stated he felt the development was quality in fill for the neighborhood. He stated the Islamic Center had been working with the neighborhood since 1998 and the intent was always to construct a mosque, education facility and single-family homes. He stated a Bill of Assurance would be developed for the single-family homes and all Muslim's would be required to sign the Bill of Assurance to indicate their devotion to following the guidelines of the Koran. The applicant stated non -Muslim's would not be required to participate in that particular aspect of the Bill of Assurance. Questions were raised as to the ownership of the property and if the development was to be a gated community. The applicant stated the Islamic Center for Human Excellence owned the property. He stated the development was not to be a gated community. The applicant stated any one regardless of race, creed or religion would be able to purchase a lot within the proposed subdivision. Questions were also raised concerning the "call to prayer". The applicant stated the volume level of the "call to prayer" was only intended to reach those standing immediately outside the building. Mr. Tim Lawson addressed the Commission in opposition of the proposed request. He stated he had lived in the area 40 plus years. He stated the Little Rock School District had spent several years trying to resolve the issues of desegregation through the courts. He stated to allow a development which only allowed Muslims was taking a step backward. Ms. Carolyn Hitman addressed the Commission in opposition of the proposed request. She stated as Secretary of the John Barrow Neighborhood Association she want to put on record the Neighborhood Association had not taken a formal vote on the proposed issue.

She stated the neighborhood was tired of the City allowing the John Barrow Community to be a dumping ground for things the City did not know what to do with. She stated the applicant had indicated the developer had indicated he wanted to be inclusive of the neighborhood. She questioned if the developer had twenty-five 7 FILE NO.: Z -2502-A (Cont. commitments how this was being inclusive. She stated the proposal only included the placement of twenty-two homes.

Ms. Kathy Wells addressed the Commission in support of the proposed request. She stated she was representing the Episcopal Bishop of Arkansas. She stated the church was supportive of the proposed development and the diversity of populations around the world. She stated the fears of residents from existing actions of extremist organizations do not represent the views or the wills of most citizens. Mr. Don Darnell addressed the Commission in support of the proposed request. He stated he was an advocate for Civil Rights and Fair Housing Laws. He stated the proposed development would allow for diversity of residents and housing in the area. He stated according to Fair Housing Laws a person can not be denied a home based on race, creed or religion. He stated this did not apply to religious organizations. He stated the charge of the Commission was not to establish all equalities but to determine if the land use was appropriate for the proposed location.

The applicant stated no one would be discriminated against because of race or religion. He stated the lots would be available for anyone to purchase. A motion was made to approve the request. The motion carried by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 noes, 2 absent and 1 Recuse (Mizan Rahman). `O Ct 4 � The Episcopal Diocese of .Arkansas One Church in Many Places... ... Called forth by the Great Commandment ... ... And sent out by the Great Commission. The Right Reverend Lary E. Maze, D.D., Bishop August 26, 2004 MEMO To: City of Little Rock Housing Authority �eFrom: L 'YE. Maze, Episcopal Bishop of Arkansas Re: Muslim Housing Plan On a recent fact finding trip to Israel and Palestine, I was constantly impressed by the efforts of Christians, Jews and Muslims to form organizations and less formal groupings to encourage connections among people of different faith perspectives. They were clear, as I am clear, that the divisions that exist among us come from fear of those unlike ourselves. These fears then grow because of the actions of extremist organizations that do not represent the views or the wills of most citizens. The existence of Muslim people in our midst is a reality that simply represents the growing diversity of populations around the world. The fear that by allowing a neighborhood to be developed that would provide a familiar environment in which families could thrive is a misplaced fear. At the very time when the world is most in need of coming to greater familiarity with people who are different, in color, culture, religion, or politics, is not the time to deny the establishment of a new neighborhood by people who choose to create a better environment for their families. In recognizing the richness of diversity in Little Rock, I heartily endorse a vote to allow the development of this new neighborhood. 300 West 17`h Street • P.O.

Carpenter City Manager FROM: Cynthia S. Dawson Deputy City Attorney Re: Islamic Center Short -form PD -R DATE: September 1, 2004 Tom— The Short -form PD -R of the Islamic Center for Human Excellence was heard by the Planning Commission on August 26. The proposal was to change the zoning from W-12 to PRD to allow a school, worship building, and 22 single-family homes in an area where the land use plan calls for redevelopment and infill. The vote was 8 to 0 in favor, with one abstention due to a financial interest in the project and two absences. Several issues were raised and are discussed below. Backgroun One planning commissioner voiced his great concern from reports in the newspapers that the project's residential development was intended to be exclusively for Muslims. He asked the representative of the Center, Tauheed Salaam, if the housing was going to be a gated community, to which the answer was no, and then asked if the Bill of Assurance stated that to live there one must be devoted to God and live a good life. Mr. Salaam stated that the Bill of Assurance says that owners will follow principles and guidelines in the Koran, but that such will only be the case for Muslims. Mr. Lowry asked if people of other religions would be able to live there and the answer was absolutely. Mr. Lowry said he had trouble determining how a community based on Muslim faith is nondiscriminatory, but Mr. Salaam said the project is designed to foster practice of good morals and religious freedom. Mr. Lowry said he is unalterably opposed to discriminatory action. Mr. Salaam stated that the religious group has existed since 1977 and that freedom of religion is one of the tenets of their faith. There was some discussion of the noise level that would be caused by the call to prayer �but �Mr S�al�aid the c prayer would be 4u -&t for those Kathy Wells spoke and read a letter from Episcopal Bishop Mays, who encouraged connections and overcoming fears between diverse peoples. He endorsed the project. Ms. Wells stated she expected the mosque would be a good neighbor. Tim Lawson spoke against the rezoning. He said that the Koran states that believers should not take Christians or Jews for friends and said the project was divisive and it was a division the City does not need. He voiced concern that the training center will become a place to hate Jews and Christians and wanted to know if the City has a plan to protect those two groups. Carolyn Heitman also spoke against the rezoning, saying that no formal vote has been taken by the John Barrow Neighborhood Association and that some members oppose it, some are in favor. She stated the area needs to rid itself of a stigma of crimes and being a dumping ground and that the project would be an element blocking future development, that it is too large for the site, and that a stoplight would be needed as a result. She said if the City builds religious communities like this, others will follow; that infrastructure (sidewalk) will be destroyed by the development; and that children in the area will have to walk across 6 driveways. She also voiced a concern about financing of the project. Don Darnell, a member of the Racial and Cultural Diversity Commission but not speaking in that capacity, stated that federal fair housing laws prohibit discrimination in providing dwellings but that there is an exclusion for religious organizations in selling or renting members of their own organization. He said the crux of the matter before the Planning Commission is religion and admonished the commissioners that they fall within the prohibition, that if they fail to provide the housing on the basis of religion, they would run afoul of the law. Mr. Lowry said he was not discriminating against religion, that he agreed with most of what he knows about Islam, but that it was wrong to discriminate and keep others out of a development. Mr. Lowry asked if what Mr. Darnell said, that it was unlawful to deny someone a dwelling on the basis of religion, was true. I responded that according to the Fair Housing Act, it is unlawful to deny a dwelling to someone on the basis of religion. I reminded the commissioners that their purpose was to decide if the use—in this case a school, church and homes --was appropriate to the owner's location and that the City has never to my knowledge looked into the content of bills of assurance to determine that they were lawful, that it was not the planning commissioners' job. I said the commission was not there to balance all the equities and that it would be up to parties to the bill of assurance (and the City is not a party) to sort out any conflicts or to enforce or contest it. Mr. Floyd asked if because of the religious overtones, if there was any problem in supporting it because of "other matters" the City is involved in. I said no. Mr. Lowry asked Mr. Salaam if he would discriminate against someone as to the rental or sale of property and Mr. Salaam said he believes in Islam and the Koran and that he would not discriminate. Issues and a licable laws (1) Bills of Assurance. The City does not enforce bills of assurance. (2) Fair Housing Act. The Fair Housing Act makes it unlawful "To refuse to sell or rent after the making of a bona fide offer, or to refuse to negotiate for the sale or rental of, or otherwise make unavailable or deny, a dwelling to any person because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin." Municipalities fall within the "or otherwise make unavailable or deny" language of the act, so that if a city denies permission to a developer to build housing and does so on the basis of religion, the city may be found to have violated the act. (3) RLLTIPA. OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY Little Rock, Arkansas MEMORANDUM TO: Thomas M. Carpenter City Manager FROM: Cynthia S. Dawson Deputy City Attorney Re: Islamic Center Short -form PD -R DATE: September 1, 2004 Tom— The Short -form PD -R of the Islamic Center for Human Excellence was heard by the Planning Commission on August 26. The proposal was to change the zoning from MF -12 to PRD to allow a school, worship building, and 22 single-family homes in an area where the land use plan calls for redevelopment and infill. The vote was 8 to 0 in favor, with one abstention due to a financial interest in the project and two absences. Several issues were raised and are discussed below. Back.,rvund One planning commissioner voiced his great concern from reports in the newspapers that the project's residential development was intended to be exclusively for Muslims. He asked the representative of the Center, Tauheed Salaam, if the housing was going to be a gated community, to which the answer was no, and then asked if the Bill of Assurance stated that to live there one must be devoted to God and live a good life. Mr. Salaam stated that the Bill of Assurance says that owners will follow principles and guidelines in the Koran, but that such will only be the case for Muslims. Mr. Lowry asked if people of other religions would be able to live there and the answer was absolutely. Mr. Lowry said he had trouble determining how a community based on Muslim faith is nondiscriminatory, but Mr. Salaam said the project is designed to foster practice of good morals and religious freedom. Mr. Lowry said he is unalterably opposed to discriminatory action. Mr. Salaam stated that the religious group has existed since 1977 and that freedom of religion is one of the tenets of their faith. There was some discussion of the noise level that would be caused by the call to prayer, but Mr. Salaam said the call to prayer would be ju shiD building. Kathy Wells spoke and read a letter from Episcopal Bishop Mays, who encouraged connections and overcoming fears between diverse peoples. He endorsed the project. Ms. Wells stated she expected the mosque would be a good neighbor. Tim Lawson spoke against the rezoning. He said that the Koran states that believers should not take Christians or Jews for friends and said the project was divisive and it was a division the City does not need.

The applicant stated he had worked with the various neighborhood associations in developing plans for the site. He stated he felt the development was quality in fill for the neighborhood. He stated the Islamic Center had been working with the neighborhood since 1998 and the intent was always to construct a mosque, education facility and single-family homes. He stated a Bill of Assurance would be developed for the single-family homes and all Muslim's would be required to sign the Bill of Assurance to indicate their devotion to following the guidelines of the Koran. The applicant stated non -Muslim's would not be required to participate in that particular aspect of the Bill of Assurance. Questions were raised as to the ownership of the property and if the development was to be a gated community. The applicant stated the Islamic Center for Human Excellence owned the property. He stated the development was not to be a gated community. The applicant stated any one regardless of race, creed or religion would be able to purchase a lot within the proposed subdivision. Questions were also raised concerning the "call to prayer". The applicant stated the volume level of the "call to prayer" was only intended to reach those standing immediately outside the building. Mr. Tim Lawson addressed the Commission in opposition of the proposed request. He stated he had lived in the area 40 plus years. He stated the Little Rock School District had spent several years trying to resolve the issues of desegregation through the courts.

She stated as Secretary of the John Barrow Neighborhood Association she want to put on record the Neighborhood Association had not taken a formal vote on the proposed issue. She stated the vote would be taken at the next board meeting. She stated as a 7 August 26, 2004 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: H (Cont.) FILE NO.. Z -2502-A resident she was concerned with a development of the indicated intensity being developed on the site. She stated the applicant was indicating the development of twenty-two single-family homes and a Mosque and educational facility. She stated she felt the development was too intense for the site. She stated the proposed development did not fit with the character of the neighborhood. She stated the neighborhood had spent fourteen years trying to rid itself of gangs, crime and violence. She stated the neighborhood was tired of the City allowing the John Barrow Community to be a dumping ground for things the City did not know what to do with. She stated the applicant had indicated the developer had indicated he wanted to be inclusive of the neighborhood. She questioned if the developer had twenty-five commitments how this was being inclusive. She stated the proposal only included the placement of twenty-two homes. She stated the area residents were not given a chance to purchase one of the proposed homes since all lots were already committed to other potential Muslim buyers. Ms. Kathy Wells addressed the Commission in support of the proposed request. She stated she was representing the Episcopal Bishop of Arkansas. She stated the church was supportive of the proposed development and the diversity of populations around the world. She stated the fears of residents from existing actions of extremist organizations do not represent the views or the wills of most citizens. Mr. Don Darnell addressed the Commission in support of the proposed request. He stated he was an advocate for Civil Rights and Fair Housing Laws. He stated the proposed development would allow for diversity of residents and housing in the area. He stated according to Fair Housing Laws a person can not be denied a home based on race, creed or religion. He stated this did not apply to religious organizations. He stated the charge of the Commission was not to establish all equalities but to determine if the land use was appropriate for the proposed location. There was a general discussion concerning the Fair Housing Laws. A question was raised as to if any one would be able to purchase a home in the subdivision.

During the meeting, Deputy City Attorney Melinda Raley si- lenced several city directors and neighborhood residents who in- quired about the religious prac- tices of the congregation build- ing the community at 40th and Potter streets. "Do you ask that of every ap- plicant?" Raley asked several times. After the vote, members and supporters of the Islamic Center celebrated the board's decision. "I'm feeling wonderful," said Sister Maryam Numan, a Mus- lim who lives in the John Barrow neighborhood. "It's going to be a peaceful community. That's why we support it." For $60,000, the Islamic Cen- ter for Human Excellence bought land behind the old Borden Dairy, near Colonel Glenn Road, where its leaders hone to build a Mus- lim -centric community. If an adjoining 10 acres can be purchased, the mosque hopes to later build a strip mall catering to Islamic needs and more homes, Hamidullah said. City Director Joan Adcock voted against the proposal. City Director Brad Cazort was absent. "It was the right thing to do," Mayor Jim Dailey said. "It's a sign that as a city board, we did not let some of what were apparent biases about this particular faith group cause us to take a step back in time:' Opponents and those sup- porting the Muslim community filled only half of the city Board of Directors' chambers Tuesday night, compared to last month's packed Planning Commission meeting, an earlier gatekeeper to the same issue, where a large crowd spilled out into the hall- way. But those in attendance Tues- day were fervent. Little Rock resident'Fun Law- son spoke against the develop- ment. He said the Muslim neigh- borhood could cause segregation in the city, asked if the develop- ment had an "agenda" and start- ed to quote from a Nation of Is- lam Web site before he was cut off by Raley. "What's before the board is [a zoning decision], not the Islam- ic religion," Raley said. Neighborhood residents Bet- ty Snyder and Carolyn Heitman spoke in opposition. Snyder said she was against it because her See MUSLIMS- Pana 19R 12B * WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2004 • Muslims • Continued from Pagel B family lived close to the Muslim development. Heitman said the community was "exclusive:' City Director Michael Keck asked about the Muslim congre- gation's call to prayer, which would be sounded five times a day throughout the village. Another city director asked if Little Rock police officers would enforce city noise ordinances on the mosque's prayer call. "I assume we don't try to en- force the noise ordinance with other churches in the communi- ty," Dailey said. Tauheed Salaam, who repre- sented the mosque, said the noise of the prayer call would probably not be heard over Colonel Glenn Road traffic. Adcock asked about the aver- age salary of those planning to move into the community. "Do we ask everybody that?" Raley responded, halting Adcocks question. The Islamic Center was found- ed in 1961 by three Little Rock men who established a Muslim con- gregation in a building on Ninth Street. About 10 years later, the con- gregation moved to the mosque's current location at 1717 Wright Ave. Today, about 1,000 men, women and children are mem- bers of the mosque, Hamidullah said. Almost all of the congrega- tion is American -born and black The Islamic Center is a part of the Sunni community that evolved from the Nation of Islam, which gained prominence under the four -decade leadership of Elijah Muhammad. After Elijah Muhammad died in 1975, his son W. Deen Mo- hammed, denounced his father's teachings as racially exclusive and began transforming the Nation in- to nto mainstream Sunni. At first, mosque officials said 22 members of the congregation made commitments and bought all of the land available to build houses on from the mosque But Tuesday night, Salaam said seven lots were available and for sale to anyone who wanted to build a home within the Muslim community. He gave out the mosque's phone number and also said a Christian made a commitment with the mosque to live there. City Director Genevieve Stew- art, whose ward covers the area where the development will be built, applauded the board's de- cision. "The John Barrow neighbor- hood is a melting pot. That com- munity is wade up of all kinds of religions. I think that's the beau- ty of being an American," she said. U.S. cities with thriving Mus- lim communities include Los An- geles, New York, Washington and Dearborn, Mich., a suburb of De- troit, where Muslims make up about 30 percent of the city's pop- ulation. Islamic Center officials point to New Medina, Miss., a small Muslim community near Colum- bia, Miss., as a model for the Lit- tle Rock development. LR Board of Directors covers business quickly ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT -GAZETTE The Little Rock Board of Di- rectors on Tuesday quickly ap- proved a spate of resolutions and ordinances — basic housekeeping issues the board addresses regu- larly. However, Tuesday's agenda madzed the largest grouping of items many city directors had ever seen. For the board to approve an or- dinance or resolution, City Clerk Nancy Woods must read it three times. As she prepared to repeat- edly read 26 sometimes lengthy ordinances, Woods said, `Tm ready. I've got a Coke right here." Woods ---' *he board made it in eight separate plats, rather than in one large project. Plans for the village, at Chenal Valley Drive and Rahling Road, were reconsidered in 2002 after the project's esti- mated costs topped $100 million. The retirement village can now move ahead lot by lot. ■ An ordinance that adds two more members to the Little Rock Parks Commission. Eleven, rather than nine, people will now serve on the commission.

Approximately 20 residents were in attendance along with Donna James, Subdivision Administrator, City of Little Rock Planning Department, and Mr. Taheed Salaam, representative for the Islamic Center for Human Excellence, (owner and applicant of above mentioned properties). Meeting was called to order by Carolyn Heitman, Secretary and Board Member for the John Barrow Neighborhood Association and introduction of Ms. Jaynes and Mr. Salaam preceded opening of discussions on the proposed development. Mr. Salaam, stated he had come before the John Barrow Neighborhood prior to purchasing land at 40+h and Potter and discussed development. However, after later reviewing facts, The Neighborhood Association learned of ownership in early 1998 after complaints had been received through the Westwood Alert Center about young men riding four wheelers, go caxts and cars. First Commercial Trust and the Islamic Center for human Excellence were both contacted and it was suggested they put No Trespassing signs up to deter this activity. 03,124/2004 23:42 5045654995 WEST CENTRAL NAC PAGE 92 n A ' Page Two: Public Meeting File No. Z -2502-A Islamic Center Short Form FDR After that, a resident in the area had been told the Islamic Center had bought the property and wanted to put a Mosque on it. At that time, Mr. Taheed Salaam was contacted and a meeting was scheduled with him and several other representatives from the Islamic Center at the Westwood Alert Center. That started a series of meeting that had led us to where we currently are. Mr. Salaam began by saying he knew we were not in favor of apartments being developed on this property. He stated the Islamic Center wanted to develop a small community with an Educational Facility, Prayer Facility and 23 Single Family Home. They currently have approximately 30 children enrolled in their school at another location in the City of Little Rock. The Mosque would be a community based institution that basically serves that group of persons. Development will be done in 5 phases, hopefully beginning in 2005. When asked about the size of homes it was stated between 1500-2400 sq.ft. Design of home, brick, wood, and combination has not been concluded. Traffic concerns were addressed: very minimal , main meeting would be on Friday from 1:15 to 2:O0p.m. and may generate 16 to 17 cars. Parking will be inside of development for educational and religious facilities. At this time, meeting was opened for questions and concerns: STATRUMM: One resident stated it is to congested for the amount of space for all this development. Also, it would be changing the facial structure of a neighborhood. Mr. Salaam responded with, " this development will be complimentary -improve look of area, will have a Bill of Assurance. He also stated wooden fences would be on back of properties. 08!24,120@4 23:42 5045354995 WEST CENTRAL NAC PAGE 03 Page Three File No, 2-2502-A Islamic Center Short Form POR QUESTION: Is this a segregated community in our area, cern anyone go to school these? Mr. Salaam stated most are non -Muslim chidren and we also work with kids that are at risk. Religion will be taught in school as in other private schools throughout the City. QGi.>BNMON: Is this school for troubled children - No per Mr. Salaam. He also stated there would be no after school care, however, they do have a summer program and anyone can apply. QUZSTIOW- Why go to a school where you have to pay when we have three schools within 5 minutes of each other and follow standard guidelines of private schools. No comment from Mr. Salaam. STATIC ENT: Mr. Salaam stated that children in their school attend approximately First through Seventh grade at their school and then transfer into a public school and will blend in with the community. QUESTION: What is price range of homes and can anyone purchase one. Response by Mr. Salaam - Price range from $75.04 to $85.00 per square foot, and anyone can purchase. STATEMENT: Mr. Salaam made several statements referring to "Our Community' one resident stated it appears from what we are hearing that it will be a community within a community is that correct. Mr. Salaam agreed, however, he stated, all communities are within another community. QUESTION: Will houses along West 40th Street face 40th with driveways in rear to avoid destruction of infrastructure already in place with main entrance to development coming off Potter Street - No QUESTION: Is proposed 40' height of steeple from top of Prayer facility or will it be from ground up. Ground up. QUESTION: What type of activities will be taping place from 6 AM to 9PM seven days a week? Response by Mr. Salaam - Prayer @ 5:00 A.M.

Mr. Salaam stated, " that is not something we have to have, most people know what time it is to pray whether they are at the sight or on the job. It will be basically heard within the 22 homes in our community." QUESTION; How will homes be developed, and what type of financing will be available. Response by Mr. Salaam was that house will be developed in different ways. Not sure of housing assistance for homes but will look into different options City of Little Roth and Government may have available. Also, individual owners can acquire their own financing. STATEMENT AND QUESTION: Will there be a stipulation as to the number of people that can live in one resident? Mr. James stated that City of Little Rock has ordinances in place to handle that aspect of property. It is nothing different from any other community responded Mr. Salaam. STATEMENT; One resident stated, " Let's be realistic, the residents belong to the Muslim faith, a face lift is being done to accommodate approximately 50 students, and building 22 homes of which most will be of your community. Most people in this room still this development as a community within a community, or a project. QUESTION: What is being offered to our neighborhood? Mr. Salaam responded with the fact that a new facility will be built and it will be open for use by our neighborhood. He stated, in earlier talks with neighborhood, someone wanted to use the building for youth group meetings. 03!24,12004 23:42 5045554995 WEST CENTRAL NAC PAGE 35 Page Five File No Z -2502-A Islamic Center Short Form PDR After this discussion session ended, Mr. Salaam asked the persons in attendance how they felt about project overall. Comments went back as outlined above: Wont work in this neighborhood; Basically for a certain group of persons; To much for that amount of property; Not enough space between houses; This is nothing more than a community within a community which will focus primarily on the needs of the persons living in the 22 houses proposed to be developed. Ms. Heitman thanked Mr. Salaam, Ms. James for coming to listen to the concerns and answer questions of residents prior to this issue being heard by the Planning Commission on August 25, 2004 at 4:00 p.m. Meeting adjourned 09124{2a04 23:36 5045654995 WEST CENTRAL NAC PAGE 81 JOHN BARROW NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION PO BOX 45952 LITTLE ROCK, AR 72214-5952 August 24, 2004 Mr. Dana Carney Planning Department City of Little Rock 500 West Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 REF: File No Z -2502-A Islamic Center Short Form PD -R Southeast Corner of West 40th & Potter Street Mr. Carney: The John Barrow Neighborhood Association. Membership, over the past several years, has met with Mr, Taheed Salaam and other representatives from the Islamic Center for Human Excellence concerning rezoning and development of property owned by them at 401h & Potter streets. However, no concrete plan was in place until now. At the June, 2004 meeting of the Association, Mr. Salaam presented a proposal for the rezoning of property which would allow for 23 Single Family homes, a Mosque, and an Educational Building. Mr. Salaam has kept the Association abreast of progress or changes concerning proposed development, however, it was apparent from discussions, at the June, 2004 meeting, several unknown factors still existed. With that, it was suggested a Public meeting be scheduled in order for additional information to be obtained. A meeting was set, however, due to conflicting schedules and the applicant needing to submit additional information to the Planning Department, this item was deferred until the August 26th, 2004, meeting of the Planning Commission. No vote was taken by the John Harrow Neighborhood Association membership present at the August, 2004 meeting which states our position on the proposed development. Should this application be approved, we do request that no waivers be granted as far as infrastructure, lot size and fencing requirements. 08124/2004 23:36 5045654995 WEST CENTRAL NAC PAGE E2 Page Two: File No.Z-2302-A Islamic Center Short Form PD -R A Public meeting was held on August 23, 2004, at the West Central Alert Center located at 42nd and John Barrow Road.
