Re: Capital Christian Center Request for Zoning
Dear Iblayor de Weerd:
R ,CEi~~~
~tB 1 7 ~U
I am the co-owner of Waterworks Car Wash, located across the street from the Capital
Christian Center. We do not oppose the plans that our neighbor has submitted, but we do
have a concern regarding the im~ect it will have on the intersection of Hickory and
Fairview.
After the services or events at the church; those trying to exit eastbound on Fairview
often have to wait some time before the traf£c clears and they sari exit safely across
traffic said head eastbound. Instead of waiting, anany turn westbound on Fairview, cut
immediately rota the center hate, and turn 'into our property via our Fairview entrance.
From tilers, they continue around the rear of our business and exit northbound onto
Hickory, and then turn right onto Fairview. This also occurs at ail other times of the day,
with the residents that live behind the church.
This not only creates a safety concern, it causes additional traffc on our property and
during our busy times, interferes with nur customers. With the expansion of the church
from its present capacity to over 2,00, it will pause additional strain on an already busy
intersection. If you assume an average attendance per service of 80 percent and 2.5
people per vehicle, then at least'7fi$ vehicles will be entering Fairview off of Hickory in a
relatively short period of time. How many more vehicles will now be entering our
property for the sole purpose of going eastbound on Fairview?
We believe that signalisation should be completed at the intersection of Fairview and
Hickory at the finis the church opens its new building: W® ask for your consideration in
this niattek when you approve the coning request.
Sincere ,
