NeW Day Community <br /> \� Living Each One For Christ <br /> Bruce Jacobs, Pastor <br /> 4191 Greenswitch Road <br /> Decatur,IL 62526 <br /> l%tip <br /> 05/28/15 <br /> The purpose for the rezoning is to allow New Day Church to build a duplex/parsonage on <br /> their property. To do so a change to R-5 is required. We are asking for a rezoning to R-6. <br /> Justification <br /> Pastor Bruce Jacobs has sold his home and the church will be building a parsonage on this <br /> property which has been our plan since purchasing this property ten years ago. My wife <br /> Cheryl has Huntington's disease which is a progressive neurological disorder and will re- <br /> quire special care in years to come. We are building a duplex to live in and the second unit <br /> will be used for someone who will be able to provide some care for Cheryl with the goal of <br /> being able to keep her out of a nursing home for the rest of her life. This will allow me to be <br /> close to the church for work and close to my wife and still make pastoral visits as needed. <br /> This need will grow with each new year. <br /> Huntington's disease is hereditary therefore there is a 50 % chance that our three boys have <br /> the disease as well. That could mean long term care for them as well down the road. The <br /> future purpose of the original duplex would be for that purpose as well. <br /> This property is not very attractive for residential due to it's proximity to the Women's pris- <br /> on. We are not sure what the future holds for the rest of the property. We hope to build this <br /> duplex immediately for the stated purposes. We decided to ask for R-6 rezoning after mov- <br /> ing a church member into a four unit condominium in Arbor Court and thought those would <br /> be nice in the future. We would see this as a ministry in helping others accomplish what we <br /> are trying to accomplish with our family. Again these are dreams and not sure if the loca- <br /> tion would make such units attractive or possible. Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Bruce Jacobs, Pastor <br /> New Day Church 3V�� <br /> Phone:217-876-9337 newdavcc8(n),comcastnet <br />
