I have no objection to the Special Use Permit and offer the following comments in support of its issuance: • This Congregation's Sunday Services have been held at 624 North Broadway for over 20 years without complaint. We are good neighbors. • We are good stewards of the environment because that is important to our Congregation. What we hope to build is equivalent to the size of houses in the area. We intend to use natural materials and a design that blends with the natural surroundings. • Our proposed Meeting House and site development will improve the appearance of the site. • We plan to keep as many trees as possible and plant new trees that will ensure the neighbors’ privacy. • A church uses much less water than a similar-sized residential home. • UU Saratoga is a small Congregation. Our traffic use has never been a problem. The majority of our traffic use takes place on Sunday mornings. Attach Photo (optional)Field not completed. Email not displaying correctly?
