PO RT #~~ Peace Lutheran Church [peacepickering@bellnet.ca] March 7, 2005 7:03 PM Korouyenis, Perry Zoning By-law Amendment Application & Meeting - 931 Liverpool Rd To: Perry Korouyenis, Clerk's Division, City of Picketing From: Reverend Mark Van House - Pastor, Peace Lutheran Church, 928 Liverpool Rd., Pickering Dear Mr. Korouyenis, Thank you for our recent phone conversation concerning the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Application for 931 Liverpool Road and the Thursday, March 24th 2005 public meeting. As I stated from the outset of our conversation, I have an initial concern that the Public Meeting on this issue is being held on Maundy Thursday of Holy Week. As the city of Pickering is host to a good number of Christian congregations who will be observing Maundy Thursday Services the evening of March 24th, and in particular our congregation will be observing worship services that evening -- during the slated meeting time -- the timing of this meeting is disconcerting. Because of the meeting date and time I cannot encourage any of my church members to attend this meeting nor send a church representative to the meeting. This further complicates matters since our church is located across the street from this property and could potentially be affected by this rezoning in regard to parking limitations/overflow along the 900's blocks of Liverpool Road. It appears that no consideration was given to the date and time of this meeting in regards to those neighbours that might be most impacted by this rezoning application, especially Peace Lutheran Church. My initial response is that we would have no objections to a business being located at 931 Liverpool Road. Our concern is with the parking limitations on both sides of the street in this particular area and the hours of operation for any said business. We currently have arrangements with businesses on either side of Liverpool Road for limited parking spaces in our church parking lot. During the day and in the evenings we also host programs for children and parents and community groups that also require parking spaces. This is in addition to church meetings and programs and the spaces we require for our church members. The 931 Liverpool Road property currently has limited parking space for less than a half dozen vehicles. Any overflow parking that would occur in our parking lot would have a direct impact on our facilities. In the documents "Notice of Public Meeting" sent to our congregation this parking issue was not addressed. Therefore, as pastor of Peace Lutheran Church, I would object to the Zoning Application being approved due to potential parking limitations. At this time I reques~ from your office, on behalf of Peace Lutheran Church, that you would both mail and e-mail to our congregation a copy of the Information Report that is slated to be available on or after March 18th, 2005 -- and that it be sent to us no later than March 21st, 2005. Thank you for your time and a~ten~ion to this mat~er. Respectfully, Reverend Mar}: Van House Peace Lutheran Church 928 Liverpool Road Picketing, ON LiW !S6 905-839-2521 e: peacepickering@be!ineu.ca
