The LDS Church might have backed away from plans for a steeple that would soar more than 100 feet high on a new temple in Wyoming — that’s unclear. What is clear is that the church still hasn’t gotten final approval to build the structure.
This artist's rendering shows the temple that's planned for Cody, Wyoming.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has not backed away from plans for a steeple that would soar more than 100 feet high on a new temple planned in Wyoming, despite having scrapped a request for permission to build a structure that tall.
The new approval stipulates that the temple cannot exceed 30 feet — the standard for the residential area where the temple would be built — rejecting a ruling by Cody city planner Todd Stowell that the steeple should not count toward the temple’s full height. Stowell, a Latter-day Saint, has faced accusations that he is biased in the faith’s favor. According to a report, at a June 15 meeting of the Cody Planning and Zoning Board, Deputy Park County Attorney Jack Hatfield — who said he was speaking only for himself — turned to Stowell and said, “What else do we have going on here? We have a shill in the city planner.”
According to a lawyer representing the church, it is “amenable” to lighting restrictions. It has made changes to its lighting plans before. In April, the That happened again in the latest meeting when the six board members in attendance voted 4-2 to approve the lighting plan without restriction. That vote was ruled a tie because there are eight board members.
