I am a member of the congregation and appreciate that it has always been an unobtrusive, community-minded presence at its current location. Its members and leaders have the need to be good neighbors in their bones, and I have no doubt the congregation will always be sensitive to the needs and wellbeing of its neighbors. I understand some neighbors have expressed concern about disruptions to the environment and water table at the proposed Louden Road location, but I would point out that a) the building would use considerably less water than any residence on the site and b) the congregation intends to replace any and all trees that would be cleared on the site. One of the guiding principles of UUCSS is respecting the environment. As far as any traffic problems, please note that the main traffic use will be on Sunday mornings.i am convinced that building a church on the site will be a positive improvement to the site and neighborhood and as a citizen of Saratoga Sorings, I have no objection to any change to land use or zoning policies and hope that you will allow construction to move ahead. Thanks you, John C. Fisher Attach Photo (optional)Field not completed. Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.
