I have reviewed your submittal. I also compared it to a submittal we received last year from another church. The City is using some of your points as well as those of the other church to create a check list of sorts for businesses to use who want to create a community garden. I am almost done with that list and will share it with the planners today for their review. After they have give it their ok, I will forward it to you. You may want to review it and add a couple points to your list.
