Neighbors in the immediate vicinity of the church site have given their enthusiastic support,. although a few in the Bog Meadow area have raised issues regarding traffic and the effect on the water table of supplying water to the church. The church is in full operation primarily on Sunday leaving its impact on traffic flow and water use at very low levels for the remaining six days of the week. And Sunday mornings are traditionally days of very low traffic volume. The church population is relatively small attracting at most. several dozen vehicles to Sunday services. As for the impact on the water table, the modest demands the church building would place on that resource strongly suggest that it will have no adverse impact on water use by the churches' neighbors. Indeed, most of the land being dedicated to the new church building is restricted so that no structure can be erected thereon. That land is left as undeveloped, park like space, a scenic vista the church hopes to build walking trails on and space where our neighbors will be to walk. Please approve this appliocation as soon as possible, Thank you - Eric Lawson Attach Photo (optional)Field not completed. Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.
