We are certainly not opposed to the church, nor their plans to build a new church. A school for troubled youths, not so much. Scale it down, considering they park more cars on site than is proposed under the new development (which eliminates two single family homes).
Please, expand your church, but please acknowledge that you've already done so without approval of the Yorktown Planning Board, nor the permit of the Building Department. That has to be a part of the equation.
Please make sure you listen to this video of the pastor explaining about the "Youth Center" he plans to build here. When a group of us met with him last April, he explained the program of the school to us as primarily music oriented for youths to get them away from drug and gang violence. An honorable idea, but not right for this residential area of Mohegan Lake.
