<br /> Pleasanton, CA 94566
<br /> Dear Mr. Luchini,
<br /> We are contacting you in regard to P21-0715 Lighthouse Baptist School, 118 Neal Street,
<br /> application for Conditional Use Permit. We are very much opposed to a school operating at this
<br /> site. We have owned property across the street from the church since the 1960's, and parking
<br /> has become a huge problem. The church has no onsite parking and all their employees,
<br /> volunteers and workers park on Neal Street. On Sunday of course, there are all the church
<br /> attendees. They also own a van which is parked at various locations around the neighborhood.
<br /> In addition some vehicles from the Pleasanton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center at 300 Neal
<br /> Street and those from downtown businesses park on Neal Street between First and Second
<br /> Streets.We are also concerned about the safety of potential students at this location on a very
<br /> busy street and the potential additional traffic generated by parents dropping off and picking
<br /> up their students.The church building proposed for use as a school was built in 1876 and the
<br /> addition made in the early 1900's. It just seems that there must be a better, safer alternative
<br /> location for the school.
<br /> During the time we have owned the property on Neal Street, the City of Pleasanton has
<br /> removed several parking spaces for "improvements" leaving us with a very limited number of
<br /> spaces on Neal Street.
<br /> Thank you for your consideration of our concerns about parking, traffic and safety in regard to
<br /> the application for a Conditional Use Permit by the Lighthouse Baptist Church for a school.
<br /> Sincerely,
<br /> 46).4.

<br />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

<br />therefore, deviating from a strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of PMC
<br /> Section 18.88.050 should not be required.
