I understand that concerns were raised about water usage and well supply as well as the concern for additional traffic. As a church the water usage is significantly less than with a typical residential home so should not be a concern. The most traffic will be around the Sunday morning worship service and with the deletion of the Bog Meadow egress there will be no additional traffic in the neighborhood. I am a member of the church and deeply involved in the planning of the structure. We are a very environmentally concerned congregation and have purposely selected a design that will blend in with the wooded environment using wood and stone. We have a long history of being good neighbors on North Broadway and of course intend to continue that goal while being a welcoming community and blending in with this neighborhood. We are a small congregation and will keep the parking area to a minimum for the sake of the neighborhood and to preserve as much of the natural environs as possible. Every sustainable and environmentally safe and energy-efficient process will be incorporate in the building and maintaining of our building. We look forward to being a positive addition on the edge of the Bog Meadow neighborhood and urge you to vote favorably on our proposal. Attach Photo (optional)Field not completed.
