<br /> Subject: lighthouse church permit application
<br /> Hi Eric
<br /> I am writing to you in regard to the school plan proposed by Lighthouse Baptist Church.
<br /> We have lived next door to the church, at■ Neal St,. for 38 years and have had an amicable
<br /> relationship with the various churches that have occupied the property. The proposed school plan
<br /> submitted by Lighthouse Church came as a surprise to our neighborhood as we not made aware of this
<br /> plan prior to the notice from the city.
<br /> We do not support the proposed plan that has been described as having a negligible impact on the
<br /> neighborhood. We have very serious concerns regarding traffic, parking and safety which cannot be
<br /> described as"negligible". As far as parking and traffic are concerned, the church has only two designated
<br /> spots in front of their property on Neal St. All other nearby parking is public street parking which is
<br /> available to any one. Our neighborhood residents already make parking accommodations for the church
<br /> out of respect for their role in this historic area. In addition,the church regularly parks two vans on
<br /> Second Street. The expectation that 25 children can be dropped off and picked up, five days a week, in a
<br /> residential area with only two designated parking spots seems unsafe and unrealistic. The confusion
<br /> caused by this traffic"plan"only yards away from a 4-way stop sign will be significant and potentially
<br /> dangerous. In addition, expecting that parents and staff will consistently park blocks away is also
<br /> unrealistic. A school requires adequate parking for staff and parents and this is far from adequate.
<br /> An additional concern is the lack of a safe, fenced-in property where children can gather outdoors.
<br /> Children cannot be expected to spend seven hours per day, five days per week inside of a classroom. But
<br /> without a designated and safe area to play, what will be their"plan"? First Street,which lies less that 100
<br /> yards from the church property, is an extremely busy thoroughfare. Is that safe?
<br /> Finally, enforcement of traffic and parking cannot be left up to the residents of this neighborhood. We
<br /> believe that misuse of the public streets and available parking spaces will likely occur due to a lack of a
<br /> fair and safe alternative provided in the church's proposal.
<br /> Our downtown historic neighborhood is already disproportionately impacted by the many events held on
<br /> both Main Street and First Street. However these events positively influence the flavor and community
<br /> spirit for many, many people. So the residents of our neighborhood tolerate the disruptions because we
<br /> see the benefit to the city of Pleasanton and surrounding communities.
<br /> Please give serious consideration to the concerns of our neighborhood.
<br /> Thank you,
<br /> Marian and Mike Green
