June 28, 1976 Page 9 <br />Mr. Tritkowski stated that he lives directly behind this establishment <br />and has an idea as to the disturbance- -cars coming and going at all <br />hours of the day and night. Hold services twice a week, several times <br />on Sunday and he would like to enjoy his peace and quiet and not have . <br />to attend their services in his backyard. They are quite exurberant. <br />If they do intend to make a playground out of the parking lot they <br />will be in his backyard. He just does not believe that they have the <br />room back there to do what they want to do. He has tried to grow <br />lilac bushes and they were ruined by the plow. Further, what are they <br />going to do with the snow? <br />Mr. Glazer stated that the issue is the external effects of the Center <br />rather than the worthwhileness of the Center. <br />Mayor Johnson replied that that was without question. <br />Mr. Tritkowski stated that when he moved in the Lutheran Church was <br />there and he never had any of these problems. The problems he has <br />now are new. <br />Vern Negus, 7954 Sunnyside, stated that he agreed with the above 100 %. <br />If it continues he plans to sell his home. All hours of the night <br />cars coming and going, teenagers jumping over his fence, etc. Sometimes <br />until 2 or 3 in the morning. <br />Mr. Tritkowski stated that the was rare when they were actually that <br />late, but many times up to 1:30 or 2:00 am - -the young adults. He has <br />complained to the police department about the peeling out of the parking <br />lot at all hours of the morning. Since the notice of these hearings <br />came out they have toned down. He will also move if he is forced to. <br />Mayor Johnson asked for a show of hands of the people that live close <br />to the church? Of those of you who raised your hands, how, how many <br />would say that you would not consider the Compassion Christian Center <br />to be good neighbors? <br />John Mathews, 63 105th Lane N.W., Coon Rapids, said that the intent <br />of their request is not for 328 people. If it moved to 150 it would <br />eliminate the use of the building as a Bible School, they would be <br />moved elsewhere. I suspect it is not people from our church who are <br />using the parking lot as a race track. <br />Mr. Fischel said that there are kids on motor bikes particularly who <br />like to use it. Another thing about tearing through the parking lot <br />is that with the chuck holes they are going to have a broken spring. <br />Mayor Johnson suggesting putting up a guard rail and Mr. Fischel replied, <br />certainly, we don't want to disturb people. <br />Mayor Johnson asked Mr. Fischel if he had the authority to negotiate <br />the number of students to be inserted into Article IV and Mr. Fischel <br />replied he would think so. If they don't compromise they have no <br />place to go. They will do whatever is in accordance with a workable <br />situation. <br />Mayor Johnson asked him if he were saying that he would accept 150 <br />student limit and Mr. Mathews replied, that for the elementary school, <br />yes <br />Mayor Johnson stated that if they went over 150 they would have to add <br />on to the building. Mr. Mathews replied that they are not indicating <br />any plans to add on at all. <br />
