Korean Presbyterian Church discusses grounds improvement plan

Korean Presbyterian Church Elder Ha discussed their consultant's drawing of the revised site plans for the church grounds at 50 Pintard Avenue on Saturday, September 18, 2010 with the Marvin Place Block Association. The plan calls for increasing the number of parking spaces from 60 to 81 which includes dedicated handicapped parking spots while not losing any 'green space'.

According to the church, the plan met with approval from the local Residence Park group, even though the church grounds are outside the historical boundary of the adjoining Residence Park area. Elder Ha said that the plan was not to ruin the green space view from Pintard Avenue. He added that many people from different backgrounds will use this church facility and that, "... the church is part of the community and we want the community to share it with us."

Specifics include widening the driveway to 24 feet so that 2 automobiles can safely pass each other and the repaving Marvin Place, a private street.

At the end of the meeting, Elder Ha announced that a series of 3 'revival' nights will be held by many Westchester Presbyterian groups at the church on September 24, 25 and 26.

According to an advisory, the New Rochelle Planning Board will review the project's application on September 28, 2010 at 7:30 pm at 90 Beaufort Place, Room B-1, City Hall Annex behind City Hall.
