Item 6B - NarrativeNarrative From: Steve Treu > Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2019 11:21 AM To: Jewel Chadd < >; Dove Church >; Josh &amp, Rachel Holcombe >; Joel McKinney Subject: Re: Lonesome Dove Response to #3: Lonesome Dove Baptist Church (est. 1846) has long ago surpassed the capacity of the existing cemetery located on our property. We have turned down requests from our owr members and our neighbors in Southlake and neighboring communities for burial plots in this historic cemetery. Therefore, in order to better serve our growing church membership and the surrounding communities, we are requesting this expansion. We are committed to preserving the historic character of this cemetery by utilizing additional split rail fencing with stone pillars for the additional space as has been done around the existing cemetery plots. Further, the funds received for these additional plots will serve not only to preserve and maintain the expanded cemetery but will supplement future expansion of church facilities and our community services." Regarding the number of plots: The existing cemetery area encompasses approx. 700 plots. The additional expansion will yield approx. 300 plots depending on plot size and layout. Please contact me if you have any questions or need clarification. Do you know when this will go before the board? Does Dove Church need to make payment or will we reimburse JPHL? Thanks for your help. Steve Treu
