925-846-4489 P.O. BOX 817, PLEASANTON, CA 94566 RELIGIOUS EDUCATION OFFICE. 846-3531 ST. AUGUSTINE CHURCH ST. ELIZABETH SETON MISSION 925-484.5020 November 2, 2006 Planning Commission Members, One ofthe major questions that has been raised by some concerns parking on our St. Elizabeth Seton site. While we are completely convinced that our new building will not add in any way to the crowding of the existing parking lot, we do acknowledge that we have a concern there now, pre- existing any new building. Our parking is fully sufficient for all but one of our regular Sunday services and will be fully sufficient when the new building is built as we do not intend to have activities in the Activity Center and the Church at the same time. The time when problems arise in overcrowding of our parking lot, though it seldom spills over into the neighborhood, is during the 6:30 p.m. Mass on Sunday, our Youth Mass. We understand the concern ofthe city and the neighbors about not putting any further pressure on the parking lot at this time. To that end, we have begun an agreement with the business park almost directly across the street from our present parking lot entrance on Rheem Dr. The Business Park directly across Rheem has declined to have us use their parking area during the Sunday evening Mass, but the business park whose entrance is some five yards further to the south, as agreed in principle to let us use their lot on Sunday evenings between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. There are over 70 parking spaces available in this complex. We have provided them with liability insurance from our insurance carrier for that time and a letter will be forthcoming from them shortly stating our agreement. I trust that this letter will be available by the time of the November 8th hearing and we will see that a copy of it is delivered to the city. lRJif:rcrr::IVEO "Jlj!
