The Masons intend to conattuot their ledge building to the north of the proposed church parking lot. They hope to utilise joint parking facilities with the church, but if that is not possible they would construct additional parking adjacent to the lodge building.

The current proposal shows the lodge building and a possible future parking in that intervening upper sone. rthile lodge meetings are normally staid affairs which do not generate much coition, lodge buildings are coa+oonly ranted for non -lodge affairs such as wedding receptions and parties which can be nuisance creating. Physical separation of such facilities from residences, therefore, would normally be desirable. *11. it might be preferable to have the lodge building farther sough on the propestr, 1. would be possible to design the structure so as to minlaixe any noise which is generated from within. this could be done by prohibiting openings on the north or west eiders of the structure sad, therefore. activity would be focused away from the northern residences.
