u•e c, Y0rk09 re: Proposed expansion of the Riverside Church Assembly of God, AA -93-02-015 Dear Sirs: I note that after their meeting of 3anuary'14, 1993► the Planning and Zoning Commission stated t::•ay intend to recommend approval of the expansion over the nearest neighbors objections. My own objection to the placement c` a "modular" structure, in full view of the surrounding homes, is that it is not in keeping with the residential atmosphere of the current -neighbor- hood adjacent to the Church property. In the minutes of the January 14, 1993 meeting, I see no response to the complaint made by Mr. Denton that his back- yard had been turned into a bog by the Church's new septic system.. Will increased population/use/traffic exacerbate the situation? The Church's Pastor Foster stated that the trailer -like structures were temporary, to fill a need until the "master site plan" is completed. Why is -"there no stated plan -with dates for their. -removal? The exception requested is to allow the Church to do something which the original zoning excluded. The original zoning was the .plan by which I and others invested our hard earned money with full knowledge that our investment was protected by lair. Can the Board give some indicat`-on uhy the Church is being considered for such an exception o-:er the objections of the most effected parties -the neighbors? Why should the Church be granted something which will effect others esthetically and economically (structures such as these nearby do not enhance the value of the neighborhood)? - If the Church requires more room, they should seek property which does not have established restrictions put in place to maintain the value of its neigh:orhood. The Board' should not grant the exce:tion and should not override the originally conceived Flan. property at 839 Robin Lane v _ry t= ::1}. yours cc: Mr -Bob Denton �'_ S ► ;r,J�t •.' .'�_ ►\i► �` ; �.'��;�t'?,'lLiI1'l� Pr rosino 33 FEB 231993 BOOK 8-8 FacE 910 I �; pltorney �, Ei ^� Pcr;onnel pil'Alc works o��F4 ��ns;
