QUESTIONS / CONCERNS
Are you going to require all the parking?
We will not use all the parking spaces on a regular basis but there will be events
o
hosted that more parking will be used.
Is this a lease or purchase?
We are looking to purchase but that will be contingent upon approval of the
o
zoning request.
Would they ever put up a tower or antenna?
No, since, it’s an Internet based production so the changes would primarily be
o
the removal of the cross on top of the building.
Do you see any problems with thecenter divider on Southlake Boulevard?
We will have a traffic engineer do an assessment to see what type of impacts it
o
will have on the site due to limited access.
Who is going to handle security issues with the property?
Mercury Radio Arts will have a security detail on site whenever it is necessary
o
but we currently don’t know any name of a company or group who will be
providing the security.
Will there be a building for someone to check tickets to see if they are allowed?
Currently it hasn’t been evaluated but more than likely there will be a staff
o
member there checking tickets.
Do you have a picture of the gates?
The gates will be an 8-foot black wrought iron gate.
o
Will there be equipment trucks there parked regularly?
There may be some vehicles usedfor specific taping dates but it will not be on a

Not at this point
o
What are you going to do about the open lot to the west?
Nothing is planned currently and is a part of the open space of the lot.
o
How many people did the church have on a regular service or special event, will this use
