Dear Mr. Harper,
I recently received the enclosed letter from Pastor Orlo
Espeland, our Mission Director for this area, stating the
position of our national church body on the easement in
question. As you can see, they are in favor of lending our
support in your action to have the easement removed. Also,
I feel that our congregational leadership is in agreement
with this action. We wish you well as you continue to work
with the city on having this easement removed and selling
the property that you are developing.
I have written a letter to Gary Seib, Coppell City Planner,
to inform him of what we have decided. Hopefully, that will
be all that you need in taking care of this item of
business. Please let me know if there are any other
questions or ways that we can be of service to you.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Wayne Hovland, Pastor

Dear Pastor Hovland,
This letter is to confirm our telephone conversation this morning when we
discussed the easement that is on the future site for your congregation. It is the
Division for Outreach position that it would be very acceptable for you as a
congregation to forgive the easement and notify the city of Coppell of that
action.
Sincerely,
Rev. Orlo G. Espeland
