Failing to meet conditions of the SLUP


Lutheran Church of the Redeemer was granted a SLUP in 1991, and then amended it in 1995, 2005, and 2009. The SLUP and each of its amendments contain conditions to be met by the Church. Below is a partial list of conditions which are not being met.


1991

That the trash dumpster be eliminated and the Church utilize curbside collection. In the 2009 remodel, the trash dumpster returned.
That the traffic pattern remain the same and new signage be installed to direct drivers to dim headlights. There is no signage instructing drivers to dim headlights, and this is a significant problem to the neighbors.
That the parking lot barricades be placed at the three locations indicated on the site plan. While barricades exist, they are never closed.
That the Church hold an annual meeting with the neighbors to ensure that the proposals are continued. In polling the neighbors, no one can ever recall the church calling for this meeting.
 

1995

No neighbor can recall the church providing a list of special event nights when the lights will be on.
