Pastor <br />Reynaga pleaded to the board his reasons for why he feels the Appeal should be granted to allow the <br />construction without a sprinkler system. His main argument was that the community programs <br />sponsored by his congregation would stop if he had to divert funds to the construction of his small <br />church. His church will be 7300 S.F. and the congregation will be less than 200. <br /> <br />OPPONENTS <br /> <br />No Opponents <br /> <br />Fire Code Review Board <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />
