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