Chair Smith opened the meeting for Public Comment.
Ms. Kimberly Kotynski, 6021 Heather Lane, noted that outdoor services can be heard at her house and disturb
her sleep, but cannot be heard when inside services take place. Ms. Kotynski also noted that the church may use
microphones and the fields at other times throughout the year, that when the church was built there was an
agreement that there would not be a preschool, and that the steeple light was to be turned off at dusk - but it is
not.
Ms. Beth Slater, 6020 Heather Lane, stated she generally hears the outside noise and is concerned about the
additional work causing greater flooding problems.
Ms. Robin Kiewatt, 5958 Heather Lane, noted: There are times that people park in front of her house, she is
concerned that surveyors have staked her property without permission, and potential water issues. Ms. Kiewatt
also noted that the church is generally a good neighbor.
Ms. Holly McDonough, 5644 Londonairy Boulevard, noted that for the past few years she has been notified of
outdoor events at the church. Ms. Mcdonough also stated she has concerns regarding: Water issues, that the
parking lot lights are on all night, additional lighting being installed, the possibility of renting the field out in the
future, the direction of the stage, and if the noise will reach her house.
Ms. Lea Walsh, 5607 Londonairy Boulevard, noted that during outdoor services, portions of her house shake and
they try to be out of their house when outdoor weekend services take place. Ms. Walsh also noted that sound
checks take place prior to 10:00 a.m., and she is concerned that more outdoor events may take place with
additional building on the property. Ms. Walsh noted that she does hear crowd noise when the speakers are not in
use.
Ms. Natalie Fournier, 5601 Londonairy Boulevard, notes she attends CCC, that she does hear the music at her
house during outdoor services, but cannot hear crowd noise when outdoor services take place, and very much
appreciates CCC.
