In a previous lifetime, I was the chairman of a KH building committee, as well as a dept. head for the Regional Building Committee. I wholeheartedly agree with the comments that if you bring up anything emotional, including pedophilia and field service, you will be seen by those in authority as one having an axe to grind and therefore biased. They will totally discount any other points you make, no matter how effective they are. Like others have commented, organize the communities and any homeowner associations by inviting them all to a meeting at the local school and devise a strategy. How will neighborhood traffic be affected? How much buffer will there be between the KH property and the nearest homes? Insist on a 50 foot treed buffer. (Trees are really expensive.) What about large floodlights on the parking lot at night? Will ALL vehicles be contained on KH parking lot or will there be street parking? Three meetings per week is assuming there is only ONE congregation. If there are eventually three congregations, that's NINE meetings per week. Really, concentrate on the logistical impact on the community, NOT their beliefs or practices. If there is a public hearing, have an expert present their findings regarding these matters. Have charts and maps and really convince them you've done your homework. That's your best bet.
