Restored Church of God Receives Partial Approval To Build Monument to Dave Pack



Davie Pack has received partial approval to build his monument to himself in the middle of Ohio. The Post has an article describing what Pack wants to build and the city ordinances he has to pass. Perhaps people can write in and let the City Planning Commission know what kind of cult is in their midst.  You have until February 13th to let them know the monstrosity in their midst. Entire article is here: Church planning campus, world headquarters Commission approves plat, tables site plan approval

"I'd recommend that the commission grant the variances to subdivision regulations for the sidewalks on the south side of Ambassador Drive and also allow the right of way width of Ambassador Drive to taper from 80 feet to 60 feet and also to allow the roadway to taper down to 28 feet. And I think at the point that the right of way and street width begins to narrow is best determined with the city engineer ... and then I'd recommend that the commission approve the preliminary plat that would extend Ambassador Drive and split city lot 9679 into two lots subject to the three conditions listed in the staff report," Kaiser said.

Members of the planning commission then unanimously voted to approve the preliminary plat and grant the requested variances.

Moving onto the site plan, Kaiser presented the submitted plans for developing the complex, which will consist of six buildings. As envisioned, the church would like to construct a 34,000 square -foot administration building, an auditorium with seating for up to 450 people, a 7,200 square-foot office building and training facility, a 5,400 square-foot mail processing center and two dormitories, each with accommodations for 20 people.

"It does appear that all of the usages comply with intent of the C5 district, which is really to provide space for office buildings for business, industry and nonprofit organizations and engage primarily in general office uses and professional services. I'd also point out that churches are conditionally permitted in C5 districts," Kaiser said.
Kaiser said that the development does meet zoning code setback requirements. The commission also reviewed the planned parking facilities, as well as future sites that could be used to expand parking facilities if necessary.
Following the initial site plan presentation, Kaiser said that the applicant is working on completing a traffic study analysis, which could possibly show a need for improvements to Akron Road. In addition, the applicant has been asked to submit a photometric plan and a revised architectural plan indicating the height of several of the complex buildings, including the auditorium. Finally, some additional clarifications regarding the site plan were requested by the city engineer, the fire department and the electric department.

"There are some issues that need to be addressed before approval. I'd recommend that the commission table any action on the site plan approval until the next meeting in order to allow the applicant time to address any questions ... we would also have access to the traffic study results at that time," Kaiser said.
Commissioners, after speaking with the project engineer and Scott Clark, a representative from the Restored Church of God, voted to table action on the site plan review until the commission's next meeting, which is scheduled for Feb. 13 at 7 p.m.

One thing we do learn is that that Dave's Mini-Me group has close to 125 people who attend on Saturdays.  Obviously this has to be the largest congregation because it is the cult HQ.  That means all of the rest of  RCG's churches are less than 100.  Most likely less than 50.  It is no wonder that his little cult has no more than 2,200 people in it!  Even Six Pack Flurry has more members than Pack!

Local Saturday worship services, which are held between 2 and 3 p.m. depending on the season, attract about 125 people. Services are not open to the public, Clark said.

Did he rename the nearby street "Ambassador Drive" or did he search the street grid of Wadsworth for a worthily named street?

By the way, haven't heard from our buddy Dale lately. I guess he is too busy answering 500 emails a day.

We can recommend a couple of very good Bankruptcy lawyers.

LOL, it's on Ambassador Drive!

Let's see, what are the directions to get there?

Take Route 666 to Lobotomy Lane, then make the mistake of turning onto Ambassador Drive, often a one way street.

If needed, pull into one of the special "HWA Memorial Rest Stops" along the way, where you can either have sex with your daughter, beat your children, or use the phone to cancel their doctor's appointments.

Continue til the deacons wearing arm-bands wave you into "Free Parking" with their patented Davie-Wavie flashlights, where you collect $200 from your wallet for your free will offering.

Park your car, and load your family onto the Davie-Elephant-Train, which is a string of little cars with Davie's face on the fronts, and giant elephant ears that flutter to propel the train to your destination.

Before you enter, there's deacons with sticks to measure you, and they say things like, "Your skirt must be this long to ride this ride.", and "Your sideburns must be this short to ride this ride."

If you pass muster, you are allowed in for "Mr. Turd's Wild Ride"!
Davie's sermon is entitled, "Good Shrimp and Bad Shrimp", and he takes two hours to say the good shrimp was HWA and the bad shrimp is sold at Red Lobster.
(Special Music consists of a hundred mini mechanical Herbies singing, "Armstrongism's a Small World After All", and makes you feel very special to be one of the few chosen ones)

David Pack's followers had better be prepared to do "fundraising" for the rest of their lives to pay for those buildings and any future ideas that David Pack might come up with.

Taking all sorts of tithes and offerings and building fund donations might get David Pack only about 50% of a follower's gross income. (No wonder David Pack won't reveal attendance figures or income figures. This information would give some idea of how badly he is draining his average follower's bank account.)

It is no wonder that David Pack wants all his followers involved with "fundraising." David Pack will get his hands on 100% of that money.

Let him waste millions on buildings. Than he will have much less money to spend on media to coax people into his distructive cult!

Norm,

Brilliant! If Pack doesn't pick up on your Armstrong Amusment Park idea, perhaps we can sell the idea to some investment bankers to fund. Instead of "Wally World", we could call it "Herbie World"! LOL.

Douglas,

I loved your post link. However, to be more complete, lets not forget "The Emergency Fund" (which we all now know is an oxymoron).
