Thank You.

My parents, sister and myself attended the last meeting and we spoke up about my mother’s Parkinson’s and her issues. We often need to take her to urgent care and we hope it’s never on a Sunday because the church goers park in front of her house and my sister and I are left without a place to park to load my mom in the car she can barely walk and uses a walker. I have attached pictures of the cars parked in front of her house and also a picture of the school parking lot that they are supposed to be using but as you can see they do not they choose to park in front of people’s homes. My father is 92 he is in good health but is slowing down so when he has to go out in front of his yard and pick up trash that is left behind it’s wearing on him. My father prides on his lemon, guava and avocado trees he has in his front yard and so has often encountered the Sunday church goers trespassing in his yard to pick his fruit. He has confronted them and they have gotten verbally hostile towards him, my father should not have to put up with this especially at his age or at any age. I’d also would like to address the actual parking and church structure that they want to build, my parents bought their home in 1966 it was a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Our family is still very good friends with the people we grew up still in communication and very much part of our family. When this church was built we have had nothing but continuous issues with disrespect of the people in the neighborhood. How do they think it is ok to build this monstrous parking structure and a high church structure and that it isn’t going to take away from the beautiful landscape and historical neighborhood that many have worked so hard and many years to build. This is all my parents have 53 years for someone to step in and constantly say it isn’t going to affect anyone, since they have been there it has affected everybody continuously. When making the decision today whether to let them build please keep in mind all the people in the neighborhood and the lives that will be effected by this construction. Thank you for your time and hope that your decision will be fair for all. Thank you, Lorena Velarde LIGHTING QUOTATIONS SPECIALIST OneSource Distributors | A Sonepar Company
