Adjourn the public hearing to August 23, 2011 in order to receive the Planning Board- 2 recommendation. 3 4 I will be more than happy to answer any questions-you have and the applicant is here this evening 5 and will be addressing the Berard as well. 6 Larry Wright: The-Chair would like to ask anybody That is sworn in to come up and speak from the 7 public. 8 Michael Neal: Good evening, I'm Michael Neal, and I hrave been-sworn. f represent the applicant 9 and I think Mr-Harvey did a thorough job of presenting the project, so i-won't belabor it anymore. I'm 10 here to answer any questions that you may have. Wth that, I'll set aside. 11 Jack Niklas: I've been sworn in. We live at 2215 Running Pine, which is right in the backyard of the 12 church, presently. I speak to some concerns that wa have with the addition of the school. 13 Concern #1 is that -the school is required to relocate and he is corrcemed why was this school 14 required to relocate. -Were there concerns in the neighborhood that we should be addressing _at this 15 hearing? 16 I'm concerned about the septic. It is a residential area and a house built in a residential 1 T neighborhood and it falls under different guidelines. That kind of information would be 18 environmen#ally useful being in an adjacent property._ 19 W~h the daytime school running five days a week, the church _aiready has increased their activities 20 throughout the week from just having Sunday service to having Saturday events; weekday events, 21 and this naw will push their activities over-and creates aseven-day busy activity schedule for folks at 22 the church and the school. As we have a view of the parking lot, they've had to modify the parking lot 23 to adjust to the traffic increase and they are packed. Those ar-e concerns of ours. 24 Because the school does not have a kitchen, they are going to have lunches provided by the 25 -students. That is fine: There will be additional and unusual trash storage and I'm concerned about 26 what provisions will be made for the storage and also the pickup. 27 It was mentioned about recess-and outdoor activitiesfor the school and that they do have afenced-in 28 playground. I'm concerned about the definition of a recess and outdoor activities, specifically outdoor 29 activities. Does that mean when it's a nice day that the kids will be outdoors aii-day? Those are my 30 concerns at this time. 31 Lori Evarts: Hi, my name is Lori Evarts and I've been sworn. I live at 2215 Wyngate Drive. We own 32 the two properties that are adjacent to the school. I have similar questions as Mr. Niklas, we didn't 33 talk before the meeting. 34 I am also concerned why it is relocating. That is a point that needs to be addressed, as well as the 35 leach field for the sewer. They are on septic and that needs to be addressed. 36 I also brought up the issue with regard to trash requirements and whether or not there- will be a 37 dumpster or something of that nature. 38 The parking lot has been upgraded. 39 The church members are very respectful and do a great job of keeping up the landscaping, however, 40 there are numerous occasions where individuals will have cookouts or other kinds of things where I 41 don't believe there's adequate water supply to the site where they are located. 42 There are a couple of things in the application that I'm concerned about. On page 254, item 5, it 43 refers to the inclusion of a park and ride facility for public transportation. I really want to know what 44 this allows for. 33
