I am writing this letter to help you make a good decision. TIME /'— , We have known Sister Nadine for over thirty years. She has a powerful ministry and the U Archdiocese have given thier blessing upon it. The last time that we made a delivery to the Intercessors the only thing that was making any noise was the wild turkeys running around the grounds. They are a quiet group. No parties, no loud music, no strangers, no drugs, no trash. I do not know why the neighbors have it in for this organization. They ought to come and live where I live. The neighbors in our neighborhood get to listen to all of the above because we have a 24 hour car wash a block away. We get to hear our windows rattle. We get to pick up trash. We get to look out our window and see so many unique people. Everyday that I come home from work, a little old man is sifting through the garbage to see what else he can put in his car that is filled to the ceiling. Everytime we call the police for noise control at eleven o'clock in the evening, we wait for sometime even though the police station is just down the street. You know, Mr. Thompson when we moved to 90'h and Spaulding, it was so peaceful, not a lot of traffic, no commercial buildings surrounding my house. You know what, those neighbors should count their blessings that they have the Intercessors of the Lamb for their neighbors.

I am in favor of the City of Omaha granting a Special Use Permit to the Intercessors of the Lamb to build a chapel/dining area for their Community. Furthermore, I am in favor of the City of Omaha granting a Special Use Permit to the Intercessors of the Lamb to allow their Religious Brothers to reside peacefully in their houses located at 11805 Calhoun Rd. and 12103 Ponca Rd.; a 3800 sq. ft. and 3900 sq. ft. residence respectfully and fully utilize such space by allowing one Hermit Brother per bedroom. Lastly, I am in favor of the City of Omaha granting a Conditional Use Permit to the Intercessors of the Lamb to allow the Novitiate House for Religious Sisters to live in their house at 12532 N. 40th St. and fully utilize such space by allowing one Hermit Religious Sister per bedroom. For the past 20+years this religious organization has been a quiet, hidden blessing to many people both here in Omaha and across the nation and world. My family and I personally have profited from their charism. Unlike the teaching and nursing orders in the Catholic Church which have a very visible ministry,this order's ministry goes almost unseen except occasionally by those who have profited from it. But their ministry, which is a ministry of intercessory prayer for people in need, is no less dynamic. The power of their intercessory gifts has been demonstrated in our family on numerous occasions, but most dramatically on two occasions: in the healing of a medical condition that the doctors had declared had little hope of recovery, and in the conversion of one of our sons who was involved in some very destructive behaviors. The blessings that our family have received due to their intercessory gifts are only one testimony to the power of their prayer. There are thousands of similar untold prayer requests that have been answered following their intercessory intervention. I respectfully urge the board to grant their permits. The community has been growing steadily over the past 20 years and needs a larger place to meet and minister. Without this facility their outreach will be seriously compromised. Please consider your decision carefully.

We live across the street from one of their properties and have observed that they are good neighbors. They keep their yards neat and tidy. In the winter, their driveways are shoveled. They are so quiet that we don't even know they are here other than occasionally seeing one of them out for a walk, and they smile and wave. They are a very quiet, prayerful people who keep to themselves. The Intercessors of the Lamb have lived here in the Ponca Hills area peacefully since 1985. As their charism is intercessory prayer, these brothers and sisters are busy praying for people—that's why we don't see them in the schools or hospitals. They are not a cult as some uninformed neighbors contend. Their presence here in the Omaha archdiocese has been approved by both Archbishop Sheehan and Archbishop Curtiss, and the Intercessors of the Lamb have received approval of the Catholic Church at large in 1998 as well. They are considered as family in the Catholic Church. The Intercessors of the Lamb have already provided four priests who serve in four local parishes here in the Archdiocese of Omaha. It has been brought to our attention that their"right"to live here as family in Omaha is in question now. Please reconsider and grant them the right to continue to live in community, as a family—as their rule states. Living in community is the norm for most of the established religious communities such as the Benedictines, Franciscans, Jesuits, Carmelites, and the Notre Dame Sisters. The brothers and sisters live in separate houses. Restricting their occupancy to only three sisters or brothers in a single dwelling limits this growth of family and prevents the necessary novitiate houses. As the homes that they own and rent are rather large (between 2500-3800 sq ft), three persons per house is very restrictive. Please grant them the necessary Special Use Permits so they can utilize the space provided and live in community. Please also grant them the necessary Special Use Permit so they can build a chapel/dining area for their community. Last year their annual International conference, held at the Holiday Inn, exceeded one thousand participants, bringing quite an influx of money to the greater Omaha community. Each year the conference has been fully sanctioned and attended by Archbishop Curtiss of Omaha. They have only given to me, to my family, and to the Omaha community without ever asking for anything in return. We ask that the city of Omaha return their kindness. Sincerely, 74.

Our family, including ten children, moved into our current house at 11615 Calhoun Road over eight years ago. Our house is adjacent to one of the Intercessor houses and so we have come to know the Intercessor Community very well. Our experience with the community has been extremely positive and we are grateful for their presence in the Omaha Community, and especially in our area. First, the community has made tremendous efforts to preserve the beautiful and quiet environment of the Ponca Hills Area. Being a contemplative order, their whole lifestyle is a reflection of quiet, beauty, and grace. We also appreciate the tremendous effort they put forth to provide to the people of Omaha, as well as to people from all over the world, an opportunity for rest, prayer, and spiritual growth. Their generosity of time, talent and resources has been incredible. The Omaha Community needs what this community has to offer. As a large family, we have been tremendously blessed in all of our interaction with community members and it is great consolation to have such upstanding, prayerful citizens as role models for our children. Living next door to one of the Intercessor's main houses, one would not know that community members, as opposed to a traditional family, occupy the house. They carry on their daily affairs in such quiet and solitude, that even traffic patterns are not affected in the least.

Our family, including ten children, moved into our current house at 11615 Calhoun Road over eight years ago. Our house is adjacent to one of the Intercessor houses and so we have come to know the Intercessor Community very well. Our experience with the community has been extremely positive and we are grateful for their presence in the Omaha Community, and especially in our area. First,the community has made tremendous efforts to preserve the beautiful and quiet environment of the Ponca Hills Area. Being a contemplative order, their whole lifestyle is a reflection of quiet, beauty, and grace. We also appreciate the tremendous effort they put forth to provide to the people of Omaha, as well as to people from all over the world, an opportunity for rest, prayer, and spiritual growth. Their generosity of time, talent and resources has been incredible. The Omaha Community needs what this community has to offer. As a large family, we have been tremendously blessed in all of our interaction with community members and it is great consolation to have such upstanding, prayerful citizens as role models for our children. Living next door to one of the Intercessor's main houses, one would not know that community members, as opposed to a traditional family, occupy the house. They carry on their daily affairs in such quiet and solitude, that even traffic patterns are not affected in the least. Therefore, we are in favor of the City of Omaha granting a Special Use Permit to the Intercessors of the Lamb to build a chapel/dining area for their Community. fi . Y Furthermore, we are in favor of the City of Omaha granting a Special Use Permit to the Intercessors of the Lamb to allow their Religious Brothers to reside peacefully in their houses located at 11805 Calhoun Rd. and 12103 Ponca Rd.; a 3800 sq. ft. and 3900 sq. ft. residence respectfully and fully utilize such space by allowing one Hermit Brother per bedroom. Lastly, we are in favor of the City of Omaha granting a Conditional Use Permit to the Intercessors of the Lamb to allow the Novitiate House for Religious Sisters to live in their house at 12532 N. 40th.St. and fully utilize such space by allowing one Hermit Religious Sister per bedroom. Please grant the above-referenced Permits to the Intercessors of the Lamb and any other Permits necessary for this Order to expand. This vital Religious Order is necessary for strengthening the spiritual and communal development of the Greater Omaha Area. A denial of the Permits will prevent the Intercessors of the Lamb from using their houses for prayer and spiritual development for themselves and others; this would be a travesty.

As an Official Order of the Catholic Church,they are under the Authority of the Archbishop of Omaha. Additionally,the Supreme Court of the State of Nebraska has recognized the Intercessors of the Lamb as a Church. The Intercessors of the Lamb have already provided four priests that serve in four local parishes here in the Archdiocese of Omaha.

The Intercessors of the Lamb have for the last nine years held an annual Conference here in Omaha. Last year, the number exceeded a thousand participants;both National and International.

RECEIVED 04 JAN 27 APB 9: 20 January 26, 2004 CITY CLERK OMAHA, NEBRASKA City Council Members 1819 Farnam St. LC1 Omaha, NE 68183 Dear City Council Members; I am writing to you today regarding the Intercessors of the Lamb, an official order of the Roman Catholic Church, headquartered in the Ponca Hills area of Omaha. As many of you will recall, I worked for a number of years as a reporter for Channel 6, WOWT. During that time, it was important for me to remain as objective as possible about whatever story I was working on. I hope I can maintain some objectivity as I explain why my wife Joan and I are in favor of the council granting all three permits being sought by the Intercessors of the Lamb. I am referring to the following: • A special use permit granting the Intercessors freedom to construct a chapel/dining area for their community. • A second permit allowing their religious brothers to reside at 11805 Calhoun Rd and 12103 Ponca Rd, utilizing one bedroom per hermit brother. • Lastly, a conditional use permit allowing the Novitiate House Intercessor religious sisters to live in their house at 12532 N. 40th and fully utilize such space by allowing one hermit religious sister per bedroom. If one were to review the history of the Roman Catholic Church down through the ages, it would be easy to find countless examples of more than just a few unrelated people living in a given residence. (As I know you are aware, people in religious life generally do not all come from the same family.) A modern day example involves the various orders of Catholic Nuns who have lived in convents for years. Indeed a number of these convents are still in operation in Omaha and Lincoln today and house more than just a few unrelated people. Page 2 Omaha City Council Members Finally, as with any religious community that is thriving, there is a need from time to time to build new facilities to accommodate all those joining the community. For that reason we believe the request for a permit to build a chapel/dining area is appropriate and should be approved. While there is much disagreement over the issuing of these permits, we would also like to point out that we are not talking about something such as a landfill. If that were the case, it would be understandable if people were concerned over the possibility of declining property values. Should this be of concern, this would seem to be fairly easy to verify by reviewing real estate sales over a given period of time. Lastly, ladies and gentlemen council members, we are not looking at an organization that has not been scrutinized by the Roman Catholic Church itself. In order to be recognized as an official order of the Catholic Church, it takes a number of years of work involving an extensive examination by Cannon lawyers of the church and others. As such, the Intercessors of the Lamb are now an official order and under the authority of the archdiocese of Omaha. In conclusion, perhaps the best method of determining the character of this religious order and the way they are impacting and serving our community is to consider what they have done spiritually for many residents of this city. One very brief example has to do with the number of priests that have come out of the Intercessors of the Lamb and are now serving the Omaha community. So far four priests have been ordained and serving the Archdioceses in various parishes across the city. Still other members of the Intercessors will be ordained in years to come. As mentioned earlier, one of my tasks as a reporter was to remain objective, seeking the truth. I hope that what my wife Joan and I have relayed today will be accepted as a factual accounting of this organization and that you will approve the permits being requested. (f�cerely, ee/CQ/.

They have cleaned up the outside and each spring they plant flowers in the gardens on both sides of the front door. They have also planted plants around the new mailbox they installed. When the Intercessors moved in there was a gravel road right in the middle of the front yard that looked terrible. The Intercessors hauled in dirt and seeded it and now the lawn looks much better. As a neighbor right next door,I am in support of the City of Omaha issuing a Special Use Permit to allow the Religious Sisters of the Intercessors of the Lamb to reside in their house at 12532 N. 40th Street with one Hermit Sister being permitted to occupy each bedroom. I am also in support of the City of Omaha issuing a Special Use Permit to allow the Religious Brothers of the Intercessors of the Lamb to reside in their houses located at 11805 Calhoun Road and at 12103 Ponca Road with one Hermit Brother being permitted to occupy each bedroom. I am supportive of the City of Omaha issuing a Special Use Permit to permit the Intercessors of the Lamb to construct a building for use as a chapel and dining area for their Community. The Intercessors have allowed their large side yard to be used by their neighbor two houses up to feed their horses. The Intercessors are very friendly and in the summer when they are outside they come over and chat for awhile. In fact,one of the Intercessors is very knowledgeable about the care of plants and has helped us with questions about raising plants. When I took down a tree in my front yard, one of the brothers of the Intercessors saved me many hours of digging and cutting by connecting a chain from the tree stump to his vehicle and hauling it out for me. One fall when the leaves were covering all the yards in the neighborhood,the Intercessors next door to 12127 N.40th street knew that their neighbor was too old and weak to . 4 . • rake his own leaves. So without saying a word, when they were raking their own leaves,they went over to his yard and raked and removed his leaves for him. He was very pleasantly surprised that someone would do this kind deed for him. Another neighbor at the south end of the street had a dying tree that he wanted taken down and some of the Intercessors took it down for him and hauled it away. This same neighbor had rotted fence posts in his back yard and his fence started falling down. The Intercessors again came to his aid and mended his fence. I'm sure there are many more nice caring things these Intercessors have done for the neighborhood that I just haven't seen. I've heard a complaint that someone thinks the Intercessors bring more traffic to the neighborhood. I don't agree. The house at 12532 N. 40th is a big house that can accommodate a large family. I don't think that the Intercessors are adding any more traffic than what would be added if a large family had moved into this house and if they had several teenagers of driving age. N. 40th street is not a heavily traveled street. I rarely meet another car on the road when I travel it. I also heard that some members of the neighborhood are afraid their property values will _ go down due to the Intercessors. Let me add these comments. When I had an appointment with my dermatologist just after the two articles appeared in the Omaha World Herald, he commented that he thought because of the Intercessors of the Lamb the property values should go up,not down. One of the neighbors had recently had his property evaluated around $250,000 and he offered it to the Intercessors for$500,000. It sure seems like he thought his property appreciated in value. And lastly, the Intercessors have improved upon their properties which should increase property values to go up. The Intercessors are very kind and loving. I can only say nice things about them. They are an asset to the neighborhood. They aren't noisy,they take care of their property, they're friendly and helpful, and they don't cause any problems. What more could you ask for in a neighbor? I wish we had more of them. Sincerely, Robert A. Riddell CDR USN retired TO , CY ALL CM'S RECEIVED DIST.#t DIST.#2 JERRY BENINATO DIST.#3iv Ql} JAN �� 9: 3 DIST.#3 4519 N ST.

I am in support of the City of Omaha granting a Special Use Permit to the Intercessors to build a chapel/dining area for their Community. Furthermore,I am in favor of the City of Omaha granting a Special Use Permit to the Intercessors to allow their Religious Brothers to reside peacefully in their houses located at 11805 Calhoun Rd. and 12103 Ponca Rd.; 3800 square foot and 3900 square foot residences respectfully. They wish to utilize such space by allowing one Hermit Brother per bedroom. Lastly, I am in favor of the City of Omaha granting a Conditional Use Permit to the Intercessors of the Lamb to allow the Novitiate House for Religious Sisters to live in their house at 12532 N. 40th St., and fully utilize such space by allowing one Hermit Religious Sister per bedroom. The Intercessors of the Lamb are vitally important to the Omaha Community. They have added to and aided in the spiritual growth of the Omaha Catholic Church. As an Official Order of the Catholic Church they are under the Authority of the Archbishop of Omaha. Additionally,the Supreme Court of Nebraska has recognized the Intercessors of the Lamb as a church. The Intercessors of the Lamb have already provided four priests that currently serve in local parishes here in the Archdiocese of Omaha. A denial of the above referenced Permits will squelch this vital Religious Order of the Church. The Intercessors have and will continue to strengthen the Greater Omaha Community spiritually, communally and financially. For the last nine years the Intercessors have held an annual conference in Omaha. Last year the number of participants exceeded a thousand people, both national and international. The hotel fees, meals, and local transportation easily exceeded$1,000,000 to the Greater Omaha Community. In 2004 the conference will be held at the Qwest Center and again will provide an even greater source of revenue to the Greater Omaha Community. Please note that this annual conference is fully sanctioned by and attended by Archbishop Curtiss,Archbishop of Omaha. Please grant the above referenced Permits to the Intercessors, and any other Permits, necessary for this Order to expand. This vital Religious Order is necessary for strengthening the spiritual and communal development of the Greater Omaha Area. A denial of the Permits will prevent the Intercessors of the Lamb from using their houses for prayer and spiritual development for themselves and others. This would be a travesty.

I am in favor of the City of Omaha granting a Special Use Permit to the Intercessors of the Lamb to build a chapel/dining area for their Community. Furthermore, I am in favor of the City of Omaha granting a Special Use Permit to the Intercessors of the Lamb to allow their Religious Brothers to reside peacefully in their houses located at 11805 Calhoun Rd. and 12103 Ponca Rd.; a 3800 sq. ft. and 3900 sq. ft. residence respectfully and fully utilize such space by allowing one Hermit Brother per bedroom. Lastly, I am in favor of the City of Omaha granting a Conditional Use Permit to the Intercessors of the Lamb to allow the Novitiate House for Religious Sisters to live in their house at 12532 N. 40th St. and fully utilize such space by allowing one Hermit Religious Sister per bedroom. The Intercessors of the Lamb have contributed greatly to the spirituality of the Omaha Community. Over the past 20+years they have sponsored retreats, seminars and workshops that have instructed and supported people in their spiritual development, particularly the laity. They have also contributed to the Omaha Catholic Clergy as well. They were greatly instrumental in the development of the religious vocation of my brother, Fr. Robert English, who has served as a priest in this diocese for the past 15 years. The Intercessors of the Lamb themselves have provided four priests who serve in four parishes here in Omaha. They have been a support to many priests both locally and nationally who have come for retreats, spiritual direction, and renewal. Finally, I would like to testify to the personal impact they have had on my life. Mother Nadine, their foundress, was given the mission to bring the spirituality that is usually found only in a cloister out to the common lay person. She has given me access to spiritual development and growth that I had never dreamed possible. And in that development and growth, my life and the lives of my children and husband have been forever affected for the better. I don't know what path I might have taken without the influence of the Intercessors of the Lamb, but I know it would not have been as rich and fruitful as the life I have experienced thanks to their presence in my life. Please do not hinder the growth of this vital Religious Order of the Catholic Church. To do so would deny to other people what I have had the privilege to experience. Please grant the permits that the Intercessors of the Lamb seek and any other permits necessary for the expansion of this order. This vital Religious Order is necessary to strengthen the spiritual and communal development of the Greater Omaha Area. Please consider your decision carefully.

The Intercessors of the Lamb are an Official Order of the Catholic Church, operating under the Authority of the Archbishop of Omaha. The Supreme Court of the State of Nebraska has recognized the Intercessors of the Lamb as a Church. The Intercessors of the Lamb have coexisted peacefully with their neighbors in their current residential area. They are currently requesting that the City of Omaha grant several Permits: a) a Special Use Permit to build a chapel/dining area for their Community, b) a Special Use Permit to allow their Religious Brothers to reside peacefully in their houses located at 11805 Calhoun Rd. and 12103 Ponca Rd.--3800 sq. ft. and 3900 sq. ft. residences respectfully--with the intent to fully utilize such space by allowing one Hermit Brother per bedroom, and c) a Conditional Use Permit to allow the Novitiate House for Religious Sisters to live in their house at 12532 N 40th St and fully utilize such space allowing one Hermit Religious Sister per bedroom. The Intercessors of the Lamb are of vital importance to the Omaha Community in areas of spiritual and economic growth. The Intercessors of the Lamb have already provided four priests that serve in four local parishes here in the Archdiocese of Omaha—at a time when vocations are on the decline and many parishes elsewhere find themselves underserved. Their work provides spiritual guidance and comfort to thousands of Catholics, not only here in the Archdiocese of Omaha, but throughout the State, Nation and even Internationally. Economically, the Intercessors of the Lamb have their biggest impact through their annual Conference held here in Omaha. This Conference is fully sanctioned and attended by Archbishop Elden Curtiss and has been held every year for the last nine years. Last year, the Conference exceeded one thousand participants originating from within the United States as well International visitors. The expenditures by these visitors in terms of hotel accommodations, meals and local transportation easily exceeded $1 million dollars to the Greater Omaha Community. This does not include additional expenditures such as visits to local attractions. This year, the conference will be held at the Qwest Center and will once again bring an influx of capital in terms of hotel accommodations, meals and local transportation. There are many examples of other religious orders that have added greatly to the Greater Omaha Community. Examples include the Jesuits with the establishment of Creighton University and Creighton Prep and the Notre Dame Sisters with their teaching in numerous grade schools. We respectfully request that the above-referenced permits be approved along with any necessary permits required for this Order to expand. This Religious Order provides a much needed service for strengthening the spiritual and communal development of the Omaha area. A denial of the Permits will be a travesty--preventing the Intercessors of the Lamb from using their houses for prayer and spiritual development for themselves and others. We urge you to, as always, wisely consider the impact of your decision.

T!4ME Dear City Council Members: In 1973 we moved into Bel-Air 2"a Addition;bounded by 105u'to the east and 110u'to the west; Pacific on the north and the ravine to the south. - At that time there were two vacant properties in the area.As President and spokesperson for the Neighborhood Association,we opposed the erection of commercial buildings; one at 106±and Pacific, and the other on the southwest corner of 108th and Pacific. In each case we were defeated and the buildings were erected. In each case we neighbors were"afraid"of what the buildings might do to the nature of our neighborhood and the destruction of property values. We personally lived there in the neighborhood for 23 years,then moved,and neither had any real impact. The Intercessors of the Lamb are now seeking a special use permit for their property.I have been present at one of the Planning Department meetings in support of them. Fear and ignorance prevailed on the part of these neighbors opposed to this permit. I have read many of the letters opposed to this permit,and they too,manifest a bias that is truly unfounded. James Madison one of our country's founding fathers expressed it best,"Human beings differ and keep on differing,and their differences are exaggerated and strengthened in groups. Economic interest may be the strongest and most durable." Each of you really knows, from your varied experiences,that all of the opposing"fears"are really unfounded, and will in fact,never come to pass. Please use your common sense and judgment,and do what is right for this admirable community, and allow them the permit they request. Thank you for_reading this note. Sincerely, Daniel A. Rietz 33� Zi . /.?3 — 6//651 P.S.

Please consider wisely the impact of your decision. Respectfully submitted, ( �� To whom It May Concern, I am writing on behalf of the Intercessors of the Lamb In Omaha. Mother Nadine and the Intercessors of the Lamb Community have played an enormous role in my Spiritual journey. They have taught me how to pray. Many times in my life, I have seen the phrase "Pray from your heart rather than your mouth". I have pondered for years what that meant. I have said rosaries, chaplets, novenas, attended Mass regularly, etc. and still did not know how to pray with my heart. I joined an Intercessor of the Lamb Prayer Group in Dec. 2002. As I attended the weekly meetings,my heart was drawn to the Scripture. I learned the "Great Importance" of seeking God and His Will for me. I also learned to record in a journal the movement of God within my heart. I became receptive of the way God speaks to me by paying attention to what He placed heavily in my heart. I was instructed on how to listen. Is 49:15-17 says, I teach you what is for your good and lead you on the way you should go. Lk 10: 38-42 tells of Martha who busied herself with all the duties of a hostess and hospitality,whereas her sister Mary sat and listened to Christ's Words. I prayed, but often with my mouth and never quieted myself to hear what God had to say. It became clear that I lacked the discipline and desire to quiet myself and simply listen. Is 30:15 says, In quiet and trust your strength lies...but many do not wish this. Which brought to life the issue of Trust. The questions God placed in my heart were "Do you really trust in Me in EVERY area of your life? OR Do you think YOUR ways are better than mine?". The battle of My Will vs. God's Will surfaced. The Charism of this Community teaches those who seek God to grow spiritually and discover what God wants of Them. My life is peaceful and tranquil even during trials and tribulations, because I know I can seek and talk to my God through this Charism. God who is Mighty has done great things for me and Holy Is His Name (Lk 1: 46-55). I have also learned about Spiritual Warfare and what it all involves. St. Michael the Arch Angel Prayer deals directly with Spiritual Warfare. I learned of the great protection found in reciting this prayer. The Sacraments are stressed as Vital tools on the Spiritual journey. The Holy Mass and receiving Jesus in the Holy Eucharist is taught as the cornerstone of our Faith. God allows interruptions in our lives and those who seek God's Will unceasingly, pass through these interruptions relatively painlessly and peacefully (One Bread One Body, Feb. 7,2004). My battles are far from over and I have a long journey ahead, but the Intercessors of the Lamb have taught me how to persevere and patiently endure what crosses God lovingly sends me. I am forever grateful to Mother Nadine and the Intercessors of the Lamb Community. Sincerely, Laurie R.

This Church-approved Religious Order, which is under the authority of the Archbishop of Omaha, has strengthened the spiritual development of priests, religious and laity in the Omaha Archdiocese and well beyond. I speak as one who lives in Iowa and have been deeply touched by their ministries of healing prayer and spiritual direction. The Intercessors also have contributed financially to the City of Omaha. One way in particular is through their annual Conference held here—this year's event will be in the new Qwest Center. Last year attendance exceeded 1,000 participants, many of whom purchased hotel rooms, meals, transportation, etc. I hope you will look favorably on their requests for Special Use Permits for the purposes of (1) building a chapel/dining area for their Community and (2) allowing their Religious Brothers to reside peacefully in their houses located at 11805 Calhoun Road and 12103 Ponca Road. I also ask that you approve a Conditional Use Permit to allow the Religious-Sisters to live peacefully in their Novitiate House at 12532 North 40`h Street. Thank you for considering their requests. I hope you will do all in your power to encourage and support the existence of this valuable resource within the City of Omaha. Sincerely, /54(.4A' /-1,_„.„.„ Barb Horan 1 1 . Qoc )-L [ - • (A.

I discussed how Pauli's continued to play amplified music in their beer garden past 11:00 p.m. I questioned whether Paul Griego thought he was above the law since this continues to occur every year during the College World Series. Once again I have phoned your office complaining about the outside party Pauli's had on April 16th, 2004. The noise(music, crowd, announcer) continued past 11 p.m. and the sound level was clearly over the noise regulation ordinance. I live at the end of 43`d and Mayberry Street and was able to make a tape recording, from the INSIDE of my house, of the music and DJ that was blasting from Pauli's during the College World Series. I have resided at this house for 29 years, and Pauli's celebrations have increased in size and noise over the years. I do not understand how the off-duty Omaha Police Department officers, who work for Paul Griego during these outdoor celebrations, allow the loud music to continue past the permitted time and over the noise regulation ordinance. My other question is if Paul Griego asks the City Council for a special permit allowing the music to go until 1 a.m., is there not a noise regulation ordinance that still needs to be followed at all times or does this ordinance not pertain to these outdoor gardens?I have tried to talk to Paul Griego, on more than one occasion, and have had no success. Either he is not at the bar, or his __ - bouncers would NOT allow me to speak to him. Barrett's Barley Corn at 4322 Leavenworth Street who also have outdoor celebrations, including during the College World Series, are WONDERFUL about the noise level. They always try to consider their neighbors and are TERRIFIC to work with if there is a problem. It is a shame that Paul Griego and his bar cannot be as considerate when it comes to his neighbors. OPPd I hope the noise level from Pauli's will be better in the future making it tolerable for the people who reside in this area. I understand Mr. Griego is just trying to make a living, but so are the neighbors who have jobs they need sleep for and children they are trying to get to sleep. Thank you for your time and please do not hesitate to contact me regarding these matters. Sincerely, e �4 ` . ���Z"�C/.

For the past 20+years this religious organization has been a quiet, hidden blessing to many people both here in Omaha and across the nation and world. My family and I personally have profited from their charism. Unlike the teaching and nursing orders in the Catholic Church which have a very visible ministry,this order's ministry goes almost unseen except occasionally by those who have profited from it. But their ministry, which is a ministry of intercessory prayer for people in need, is no less dynamic. The power of their intercessory gifts has been demonstrated in our family on numerous occasions, but most dramatically on two occasions: in the healing of a medical condition that the doctors had declared had little hope of recovery, and in the conversion of one of our sons who was involved in some very destructive behaviors. 4? . e • V • The blessings that our family have received due to their intercessory gifts are only one testimony to the power of their prayer. There are thousands of similar untold prayer requests that have been answered following their intercessory intervention. I respectfully urge the board to grant their permits. The community has been growing steadily over the past 20 years and needs a larger place to meet and minister. Without this facility their outreach will be seriously compromised.

The Intercessors of the Lamb have contributed greatly to the spirituality of the Omaha Community. Over the past 20+years they have sponsored retreats, seminars and workshops that have instructed and supported people in their spiritual development, particularly the laity. They have also contributed to the Omaha Catholic Clergy as well. They were greatly instrumental in the development of the religious vocation of my brother, Fr. Robert English, who has served as a priest in this diocese for the past 15 years. The Intercessors of the Lamb themselves have provided four priests who serve in four parishes here in Omaha. They have been a support to many priests both locally and nationally who have come for retreats, spiritual direction, and renewal. • • Finally, I would like to testify to the personal impact they have had on my life. Mother Nadine, their foundress, was given the mission to bring the spirituality that is usually found only in a cloister out to the common lay person. She has given me access to spiritual development and growth that I had never dreamed possible. And in that development and growth, my life and the lives of my children and husband have been forever affected for the better. I don't know what path I might have taken without the influence of the Intercessors of the Lamb, but I know it would not have been as rich and fruitful as the life I have experienced thanks to their presence in my life.

We live across the street from one of their properties and have observed that they are good neighbors. They keep their yards neat and tidy. In the winter,their driveways are shoveled. They are so quiet that we don't even know they are here other than occasionally seeing one of them out for a walk, and they smile and wave. They are a very quiet, prayerful people who keep to themselves. The Intercessors of the Lamb have lived here in the Ponca Hills area peacefully since 1985. As their charism is intercessory prayer, these brothers and sisters are busy praying for people—that's why we don't see them in the schools or hospitals. They are not a cult as some uninformed neighbors contend. Their presence here in the Omaha archdiocese has been approved by both Archbishop Sheehan and Archbishop Curtiss, and the Intercessors of the Lamb have received approval of the Catholic Church at large in 1998 as well. They are considered as family in the Catholic Church. The Intercessors of the Lamb have already provided four priests who serve in four local parishes here in the Archdiocese of Omaha. It has been brought to our attention that their"right"to live here as family in Omaha is in question now. Please reconsider and grant them the right to continue to live in community, as a family—as their rule states. Living in community is the norm for most of the established religious communities such as the Benedictines, Franciscans, Jesuits, Carmelites, and the Notre Dame Sisters. The brothers . and sisters live in separate houses. Restricting their occupancy to only three sisters or brothers in a single dwelling limits this growth of family and prevents the necessary novitiate houses. As the homes that they own and rent are rather large (between 2500-3800 sq ft), three persons per house is very restrictive. Please grant them the necessary Special Use Permits so they can utilize the space provided and live in community. Please also grant them the necessary Special Use Permit so they can build a chapel/dining area for their community. Last year their annual International conference, held at the Holiday Inn, exceeded one thousand participants, bringing quite an influx of money to the greater Omaha community. Each year the conference has been fully sanctioned and attended by Archbishop Curtiss of Omaha. They have only given to me, to my family, and to the Omaha community without ever asking for anything in return. We ask that the city of Omaha return their kindness.

They have cleaned up the outside and each spring they plant flowers in the gardens on both sides of the front door. Theyhav o planted plants around the new mailbox they installed. When the Intercessors moved in there was a gravel road right in the middle of the front yard that looked terrible. The Intercessors hauled in dirt and seeded it and now the lawn looks much better. As a neighbor right next door,I am in support of the City of Omaha issuing a Special Use Permit to allow the Religious Sisters of the Intercessors of the Lamb to reside in their house 12532 N. 40th Street with one Hermit Sister being permitted to occupy each bedroom. at I am also in support of the City of Omaha issuing a Special Use Permit to allow the Religious Brothers of the Intercessors of the Lamb to reside in their houses located at 11805 Calhoun Road and at 12103 Ponca Road with one Hermit Brother being permitted to occupy each bedroom. I am supportive of the City of Omaha issuing a Special Use Permit to permit the Intercessors of the Lamb to construct a building for use as a chapel and dining area for their Community. The Intercessors have allowed their large side yard to be used by their neighbor two houses up to feed their horses. • The Intercessors are very friendly and in the summer when they are outside they over and chat for awhile. In fact, one of the Intercessors is very knowledgeable about the care of plants and has helped us with questions about raising plants. When I took down a tree in my front yard, one of the brothers of the Intercessors saved me many hours of digging and cutting by connecting a chain from the tree stump to his vehicle and hauling it out for me. One fall when the leaves were covering all the yards in the neighborhood,the Intercessors next door to 12127 N.40th street knew that their neighbor was too old and weak to rake his own leaves. So without saying a word, when they were raking their own leaves, they went over to his yard and raked and removed his leaves for him. He was very pleasantly surprised that someone would do this kind deed for him. Another neighbor at the south end of the street had a dying tree that he wanted taken down and some of the Intercessors took it down for him and hauled it away. This same neighbor-. had rotted fence posts in his back yard and his fence started falling down. The Intercessors again_ came to his aid and mended his fence. I'm sure there are many more nice caring things these Intercessors have done for the neighborhood that I just haven't seen. I've heard a complaint that someone thinks the Intercessors bring more traffic to the neighborhood. I don't agree. The house at 12532 N. 40th is a big house that can accommodate a large family. I don't think that the Intercessors are adding any more traffic than what would be - added if a large family had moved into this house and if they had several teenagers of driving age. N. 40th street is not a heavily traveled street. I rarely meet another car on the road when I travel it. I also heard that some members of the neighborhood are afraid their property values will go down due to the Intercessors. Let me add these comments. When I had an appointment with my dermatologist just after the two articles appeared in the Omaha World Herald, he commented that he thought because of the Intercessors of the Lamb the property values should go up,not down. One of the neighbors had recently had his property evaluated around $250,000 and he offered it to the Intercessors for$500,000. It sure seems like he thought his property appreciated in value. And lastly, the Intercessors have improved upon their properties which should increase -property values to go up. The Intercessors are very kind and loving. I can only say nice things about them. They are an asset to the neighborhood. They aren't noisy, they take care of their property, they're friendly and helpful, and they don't cause any problems. What more could you ask for in a neighbor? I wish we had more of them. Sincerely, r Robert A.

We have watched over the years how they have impacted the neighborhood.communally. Since building community is one of their gifts. We have seen this gift in action and the positive benefits it is. - I think that building community is one of the hardest challenges of public office - today. Building an Omaha community that focuses on the well-being of every member is very vital and absolutely necessary. As a medical professional , I have observed the many challenges of building community amoung the workers and the patients. One - cannot focus soley on the physical needs but the mental and spiritual needs of every member. I believe that this is true of building any community. All of these needs need to be met for the strong moral, character and health development of any member. I have seen the many changes in Omaha over the past 30 years. I have seen and experienced the impact the Church has had on the development and growth of this- beautiful community. From teaching in schools to meeting physical and spiritual needs of the poor and rich. The heart of the Church has always been to focus on the needs of the growing community. So too is this the Intercessors of the Lamb's focus as a member - of the Catholic Church. I believe it would be impossible for any thriving community ,like Omaha, to survive physically, spiritually, mentally and financially without the - Church's support. This is exactly what I have seen the Intercessors of the Lamb do for this community. I have seen them rake leaves and shovel driveways. I have seen and heard them care for the needy and sick in Omaha. I have seen and heard them try to reach out to the community while still maintaining their religious call for silence and solitude. That is probabley why you have not even heard most of this . Because of the hidden virtues that are bestowed on the community, without anyone seeing or making a big deal. That • simply is not what they do do. One would hardly know they are physically in Ponca hills because of the quiet they maintain and are required to maintain, while reaching out.I write this letter to thank you and them.

We are not talking about small sized delivery trucks. . Please share this picture with the other council members so they too may understand why these delivery trucks are so dangerous in the neighborhood, especially going past the school. I just feel that big trucks like this one should at least be allowed access only from Calhoun Rd. I understand you are getting much pressure from the "Catholic Church" as such. There's no doubt the ACLJ will hit you with a lawsuit if you deny this application. I trust, however, that you will be able to lead the others to get a denial of this application as such, or, as a compromise, to build the religious assembly building and the entrance road coming off of Calhoun Rd., and closing the entrance on North Post Rd. Thank you for taking this on for us and leading the council members to see it as a inappropriate land use for the Ponca Hills.

So I am taking this opportunity as a neighbor and taxpayer to voice my concerns. Foremost, I am one of many who live in this area, that do NOT want this development located here.This is an established, rural. quiet, neighborhood. A family place emersed in history, Indian Burial Mounds, Buffalo Wallows. The very beginnings of the State of Nebraska. This area is not zoned for what they plan, the zoning board told them last November to relocate, that this is not appropriate use for the area. The environment cannot handle this type of development. Several years back the city had the vision to protect it with the Northern Hills Overlay. With the amount of activity they are planning, and multiple septic systems, when the ground reaches saturation, the whole campus will be caving and sliding down the hillside into the creek and backyards. I don't think they really have a grip of this situation. This group has previously excavated part of their land, without legal permit, and when caught,just left if. Top soil blowing for blocks till my neighbors can't even enjoy their yards. Also, their expansion continually increases it's weight bearing burden on our backs to fulfill their"dream". Our taxes have increased in part to recover revenues lost to their tax exempt status. This is an even larger burden to those families of the Twilight Hills SID. Those homeowners have to pay their share plus make up that difference of the Intercessors yet again! How much more money can the people of Ponca Hills be expected to pay so the Intercessors can be "exempt"? I can't go to my boss and say the Intercessors took another acre off the tax rolls, I need a raise. That's reality! When we are all taxed off our land, who will pay your salary? It won't be them, their exempt. Who will be the volunteer fire department? There won't be anyone left to volunteer, and the city won't have enough tax dollars to cover this area. This is persecution against the common man, trying to live and raise a family. What about our dreams? We are rapidly getting to the point we no longer can afford to have any. We come home to Ponca Hills after wrestling a living out of long exasperating days at work. We want the peace and quiet too. We like living on our land. That will be gone forever with their expansion. Boystown, Mt. Michael, and the group in Schuyler, Nebr. all grew out of the middle of wide open farmland. Not in the middle of an established neighborhood. Ponca Hills was not designed nor zoned for this type of a business. I will never understand why the Intercessors insist on destroying the very thing they claim they are drawn to. Why don't they want to realize their dream in an appropriate place? I have to wonder what that dream really is. Please save Ponca Hills! Respectfully, "faDebt' rant k June 5,2004 o � Mr.James Vokal, Jr. <n ui i Lr)cr, } Omaha City Council U., u"m "' 1819 Farnam Street, Suite LC-1 -; �~-~" Omaha NE 68183 g.000a©c�wc» Mr. Vokal, We are writing to urge you to stop "Master Plan" C8-03-179 that the Intercessors of the Lamb have proposed. This plan is inappropriate for the area and is not only impractical but environmentally unsound. This single family neighborhood is overwhelmingly against this grandiose plan. Hopefully, you will _ recognize the impracticality and unreasonableness of this plan. This area is a beautiful, single family neighborhood consisting of homes that range from large lots to acreages. This zoning should continue to be exclusive in this area. The density purposed by the Master Plan is at best unclear. The use,the frequency and duration of activities,length types and duration of occupancy is incomplete in the Master Plan. We are aware that the Intercessors of the Lamb, the applicants, are not a "Catholic Church approved religious order". According to Father Gregory Baxter,representing Archbishop Eldon Curtis at a meeting of the Ponca Hills Preservation Association"the Intercessors are a public association and not recognized as an official religious order." The Intercessors are perceived by Ponca Hills residents as selfish, unscrupulous, unfriendly individuals, not as the "religious" they dress as. At a meeting held with the neighbors August 27th the self proclaimed "Mother" Nadine Brown stated that the Intercessors would not allow Catholics in the neighborhood to participate in Mass with them. The Intercessors do not honor written agreements (use of road west of 40th and North Post Road daily exceeds approved use). The fact that there will be a shortcut providing a direct connection between Calhoun Road and North Post Road is very concerning. We have on average more than 80 cars a day travel behind our house on a road restricted to 25. Verbal agreements also are not kept. The self proclaimed "Mother"Nadine Brown deliberately misinformed the neighbors at the neighborhood meeting held August 27,2003.The neighbors were told that she would not take the residences on 40th street off the tax roles. She had in fact already had applied to do so. How can the residents of Ponca Hills ever believe anything from this group?How can the area or the City of Omaha expect any different behavior? We want to express our fervent objections to the C8-03-179.This plan would negatively impact the area by the environmental changes proposed. The loss of trees and significant grading in steep old growth forest as proposed will likely affect the groundwater and is very shortsighted environmentally. Environmental concerns have heightened in the last 30 years. There is increased public consciousness of the significance of this fragile, rare, unique area and the value of protecting natural habitats is widely recognized as important in development requests. The Twilight Hills SID was required to have a dedicated sewer system thirty years ago. Septic systems should not be allowed. The infrastructure plans need to be critically evaluated and conducting an evaluation without much more specific information on frequency and numbers of participants, transients, and others using such a system is impossible. A development of this magnitude should at a minimum be required to have a sewer system and fire hydrants for public safety concerns. It is inappropriate for an area zoned single family residential to allow group homes and additional buildings designed for transients(retreatants),and unspecified other activities. We support the members of the Ponca Hills Preservation Association who agreed unanimously that C8-03-179, the Master Plan be abandoned. Please deny the Intercessors Master Plan C8-03-179 and prevent permanent despoilment of this unique, beautiful neighborhood. If you will not deny this project please give us details why. x, Mike an�l Jane Matsui 12122 North 40th Street Omaha NE 68112 73 7 4(- PONCA HILLS VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT P.O. BOX 12085 # OMAHA, NEBRASKA 68112 Omaha City Council Members 1819 Farnam St. Omaha,Nebraska 68102 April 30,2004 Dear Councilman, I have reviewed the plans for the proposed expansion of the Intercessors of the Lamb complex in the Ponca Hills area. Because the proposed facilities are going to be partially occupied by a"transient"population, fire protection and safety are more of an issue than homes and facilities with a resident population. I have several concerns that need to be considered before this project is approved. Access The proposed expansion includes an assembly building, several group homes and up to 18 individual hermitages on the property. The current design indicates narrow winding roads to the group homes.No roads are indicated for the hermitages, but I have been told there will be access. It is our request that any occupied structure on the property have access via hard surface roads with a size and capacity suitable for heavy fire apparatus. Water Supply The current plans do not indicate an adequate water supply. The length,curvature and terrain of the access road are not suitable for laying supply fire hose from Calhoun Road. This facility should be supplied by an adequate water-main for the size and type of occupancies present. This should include appropriately placed fire hydrants. Fire Protection Because the group homes are going to be occupied by a"transient"population, the need for proper fire protection is extremely important. All group homes and assembly buildings on the property should have fire detection and sprinkler systems. �rr 3 �' t I ft` I titiT11 I <NI �s cn c - vD W. < cou }=t_ ac� ocn;•ra .C:• c:� Q C�QC 5JwZ—.)3 }- Code Variations Fire Code enforcement in the Ponca Hills area is the responsibility of the Omaha Fire Department, Fire Prevention Bureau. I spoke with Omaha Fire Department, Assistant Fire Marshal Pio Porta about this facility. He advised me that the Omaha Fire Department will enforce codes in rural jurisdictions as recommended by the local fire chief. I informed AFM Porta that the Ponca Hills Fire Department will accept no waivers or variances to the current fire codes. In closing, I want to emphasize that if the proposed plans for the expansion of this facility are approved,the concerns of the Ponca Hills Fire Department must be considered. I appreciate your cooperation in this important issue. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 455-8046 or by email,jsacksl 964@,aol.com.

This is to consider a request for a special use permit for the Intercessors of the Lamb/Bellweather Sect to build a new 18000 sq ft 36ft high building in the TIME = t_ wooded area of Ponca Hills. This facility is not appropriate for this area for a number of reasons. 1. Safety concerns related to traffic. 2. Local fire and rescue, that is volunteer and very good, but could be overwhelmed by an emergency with 150 persons in a large building. Plus most of the tax base on the homes and 88 acres is no longer on the tax roll, so this leaves the local fire and rescue with lost income and the homeowner in the area with higher taxes. 3. Parking and the all night lighting for the 40-car lot. 4. No sidewalks and very close to a school. 5. Potential decrease in property values 6. Once this is approved, they could build houses on all of the 88 acres already owned and the potential could be several hundred people in this area for worship/meetings or special occasions.

We have chosen to live in Ponca Hills because we respect nature and appreciate the natural gifts this area has to offer. The proposed development will increase the population, remove native trees and plants while increasing traffic in an area that does not have the infrastructure to maintain this development. Please take these concerns into consideration. This develop will adversely affect one of the metropolitan's treasures.

A religious cult known as"The Intercessors of the Lamb" began buying residences in our area approximately ten years ago, most of which are tax exempt. Men and women known as sisters and brothers, occupy these single-family dwellings. Director of the Intercessors, Mother Nadine Brown,has now decided to expand their operation by building what they call "The Gathering Place". This proposed gathering place is an 18,000 sq.ft., $2.0 million, Global Headquarters for recruiting members,training missionaries plus offering services such as a retail book store. This building will include acres of concrete for parking, parking lot lights, and a serious increase in traffic volume. This increase in traffic volume will endanger our children walking to school, (we have no sidewalks), since the building will be just down the street from the school. Mother Nadine Brown has received Special Use Permits previously,which included one that allowed them to build and use a road just west of 40 Street on North Post Road. The Special Use Permit allowed only 25 cars per day. A recent traffic study was performed and in one, eight hour period, 95 cars traveled on this road. If the Special Use Permit for"The Gathering Place" is approved, this woman will push and shove until she has hundreds of people and cars visiting their compound. Make no mistake,this woman recruits from around the world and recently drew 1,000 people to her speaking engagement at the Holiday Inn. We believe she intends to gather those people at the new building, if approved. We are vehemently against this type of building and business in our residential area. Further,we resent the fact that we are bearing the tax burden for this tax exempt operation. Our taxes increased$600.00 this last year. The Planning Board is aware of the opposition of the neighborhood. This matter may be included on the Planning Board Agenda on October 1, 2003. Mr. Tom Doyle, County Engineer has been advised of the misuse of the Special Use Permit for the road previously described. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Please don't let our quality of life in this lovely area be affected by these people. Please respond in writing as to your findings. Please fight for us; we need your support.

We moved to Ponca Hills 19 years ago with the intent of a quiet, rural, less stressful unpopulated way of life. I highly oppose the building of an 18,000 square foot building with unlimited additional traffic and constant noise. Intercessors of the Lamb was issued a Special Usage Permit allowing 25 cars per day to enter their compound. They have violated this permit already by allowing 95 cars in less than one day. People in Ponca Hills have moved here for their own personal reasons and do not want to be forced into accepting the extreme expansion of a facility which is designed to accommodate thousands of people at any given time from all over the world, which includes terrorist countries. I understand Intercessors of the Lamb owns 88 acres with plans on future expansion into more of the residential neighborhood.

I am totally opposed to this project. I have lived in the Ponca Hills area all of my life, since birth. I, like Nadine Brown, enjoy the peace and solitude of the area. I ride my bike, horses and walk my dogs on low traffic volume roads. This assembly will provide too much traffic to the area. I am also concerned about our very competent and wonderful volunteer fire department, which I support via taxes and personally. Will they be able to handle a fire and rescue of 150 people assembled, or even get equipment to the area? Taxes, I pay mine! I saved and bought my dream home in this wonderful area. My home appraised very high this year. Please check the records and see what some of the Intercessor properties are paying to the tax base and how these properties have been assessed. Please consider my concerns when you make your decisions. Come out to see this spectacular area where children walk to school without sidewalks because they are safe from large amounts of traffic.

It is easy a centralized warehouse and business development which could include, as an example, distribution center for their goods and products currently being sold through their internet site and elsewhere.

We implore you to look at this matter more closely and to consider the effect it will have on the lives of average homeowners living in Ponca Hills.

TIMEa{ r—r— I have lived in the Ponca Hills area for the last 27 years.During these last 27 years,I have seen this organization slowly change the character of Ponca Hills and I am not pleased with the change.My opinion is based on the following; • Up to this point,the Ponca Hills area has been comprised of mostly single family residences.The Intercessors have purchased several of these properties for housing and office§pace for their members.As I understand it,the group also houses guests from all over the world for"spiritual retreats". The activity was nv*unwelcome at first,but then so many of these properties were purchased and used in this fashion that I became alarmed that there was such a change in the neighborhood. • The group calls themselves"Hermits",disperses literature using terms such as`spiritual warfare'and at one time buried the corpse of a member on their property. • As the organization has grown,I have seen an increase in traffic and I am especially concerned about this traffic increase on the very road used by elementary students on their way to Ponca School.There are sections of this road where there are no sidewalks. I am adamantly opposed to the issuance of this Special Use Permit. Specifically: • Vehicle traffic will increase at an alarming rate. • This building(over 18,000 Sq. ft.)is only the starting point for a further plan of growth.I have documentation that the group plans to build more structures for the housing of even more"Hermits" and"guests"further escalating the already high traffic volume. • The group is, as I understand it,now operating some form of a commercial enterprise as they claim to have a global outreach and sell materials over the internet as well as on the property. I ask you to please consider my feelings on the matter and request your assistance as this Special Use Permit is debated. cerely, ! yL James Cisar VED 03 SEP ' 5 Ag to, o Septembe2 11, 200_ CY .

After attending a neighborhood meeting hosted by the Intercessors on 8/6/2003, our apprehensions to the project increased considerably. Being a homeowner with property adjacent to the proposed new construction, my concerns are as follows: 1. Although the proposal is for a place of religious assembly, it will also and more importantly be used as a residence for 8 retreatants and full time caretakers, 8 TO CY offices from which the worldwide headquarters of Bellwether Inc., a self ALL Clvi'S ✓ proclaimed for profit organization will operate, and a kitchen and dining hall to DIST.#2 accommodate in excess of 150 people on a regular basis. Surely this use far DIST.#3 exceeds the limitations of acceptability for inclusion into a neighborhood of single DIST.#4 family homes. DIST.#5 DIST.#o 2. The original plan proposed by the Intercessors has been modified moving the DIST.#7 T _, development to an area that describes a road that would connect the access road CH.OF STAFF STAFF on North Post Road, west of 40`h Street. This is unacceptable as it would continue CITY CLERK ✓ traffic on a gravel road with current use restrictions not to exceed 25 vehicles per LOBBYIST day. This is a figure that by the Intercessors own admissions is exceeded on a SEF 16 `03 weekly basis most certainly, and on a daily basis according to an independent traffic survey. It is likely that the Intercessors will utilize this and planned roads to avoid leaving their property to access their domiciles on North Post Road and TIME .1, 1 those on 40th Street. 3. The Intercessors admit to a strategic plan to "build in the woods" four "guest houses (4,000 sq. ft) and eight 400 sq. ft. cabins. This would impact the woods but these buildings would not require a special use permit and could significantly alter the Ponca overlay due to the destruction of the woods for buildings, required access and their construction. This doesn't address the septic systems required and the potential environmental impact from domestic waste. 4. This plan would require significant grading and the construction of a large earthen berm in a Loess Hills area. 5. Another concern is the future use of the gathering place, at the neighborhood meetings the Intercessors stated that they would eat at least one meal a day there. It seems excessive to have such large kitchen and storage spaces for the stated maximum 150. Also revealed were expected plans for continued expansion of membership and growth of their for profit international mail order business. The materials for this business they admitted at the meetings are being warehoused at a private residence. 1 6) Another significant concern is the use of single family homes, in an area zoned as that, by many non related individuals. I was informed by a member of the planning board staff that the occupancy of a single family residence can only have 3 unrelated individuals. At the neighborhood meeting the Intercessors stated the following address and number of unrelated occupants; 11805 Calhoun Road; 6 guests and 3 occupants (9 total with guest routinely there, a hotel?) 12203 Ponca Road; 5 occupants 11706 North Post Road; 4 occupants 12209 North 40`h St; 5 occupants 12532 North 40`h St.; 8 occupants 3804 North Post road, 3 females, 2 priests Please clarify the residency requirements for a single family home for me. If this is enforceable in the Gifford Park area, why not in the much lower density Ponca Hills area? The development of this project is not in the best interests of the Ponca Hills area. As a neighbor of the area I have noted that the Intercessors plans are subject to change after approval, the gravel road is a prime example. It would seem very likely that a building as massive as The Gathering Place is designed for more than the currently proposed use. The admission of the for profit business, daily meals and planned growth would indicate future use plans not described in the original development plan. These concerns are valid, and the facts were confirmed by mother Nadine Brown and Brother Rick at the neighborhood meeting. None of the other neighbors in attendance at the meeting seemed anxious to embrace the construction of a religious/commercial building of almost 20,000 sq. ft. plus parking for 36+ cars with lighting in the rural splendor of the quiet Ponca Hills. Please since there is no benefit to the city/county and considerable risk of detriment to the environment, quality of life and property values surrounding this development support denial of this project. If you would like further information or discussion please contact us.

As a concerned neighbor, we oppose this request for the following reasons: 1. Intercessors long term planned growth in the next 10-15 years, due to their strategic plan to add four guesthouses for ten people each located near the proposed gathering place building and eight cabins. This will cause a large flow of transient people in a low-density residential area. 2. Intercessors have disregarded restrictions placed on them previously. Their traffic flow on 40th Street is 25 vehicles daily. The neighbors have video for one day's traffic, which amounted to 95 vehicles taken in September 2003. 3. Intercessors plan to become their Worldwide Headquarters in a residential area. Intercessors are a non-profit corporation. Bellweather Inc. is a for profit separate corporation that the community has also formed. This will be a significant commercial enterprise in the near future. 4. The proposed new location of the assembly building and staff housing in a forested area will not apply under North Hills Environment Overlay. The adjacent land zonings are DR-ED, R2-ED.and R1-ED. This will be inappropriate usage. 5. The proposed new location of the assembly building will have three entrances. a) Existing access drive at North Post Road, West of 40th Street b) Calhoun Road c) Ponca Road This will allow unlimited vehicles daily. 6. Shielded lighting on this large building will be provided in this rural, residential area. This will spillover on residential properties. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this structure inappropriateness in Ponca Hills. 6 Marvin Micheels y Charlotte Micheels 11700 North Post Road Omaha, Nebraska 68112 T :Lt CM'3 ✓ 0 C` DIS T.#1 DIST.#2 _ DIST.#3 DIST.#4 fR -- C 1- C V L.

OCT 01 '03 We are writing to inform you that we are very much against Case #C8-03-179, for a religious assembly structure for up to 150 people Northwest of 40th Street and North Post Road. This is scheduled to come before the planning Board on October 1, 2003. TIME q,4,- r Quite simply,we believe there is not a need for such a structure. There are many places available in the area that can handle the type of traffic a structure like this would promote. There are several churches in good proximity to our neighborhood already that service our community needs. These could easily hold the capacity of people they are wishing to hold prayer assembly with, without hurting the tax base in Omaha any further and they are within a reasonable distance from The Intercessors of the Lamb. These premises could handle the traffic without any danger to the children attending Ponca Elementary School. Our neighborhood streets do not have sidewalks, sewers or street lights and are narrow and winding roads. Also, available for rent, is a large structure in N.P. Dodge Park as well as other smaller quaint structures in and around Hummel Park, that could satisfy their needs. We also must admit concern for what the purpose of this facility truly is. As neighbors, we already notice a large number of tax-exempt automobiles driving from one residence to another in the neighborhood. There seems to be more people than legally allowable in these single-family dwellings already. Lately, there seems to be some work already in progress, as we have heard large trucks backing up after 10:00PM on their property this summer. We are still a little leery about the purpose of their religious gatherings and the need for them to have multiple sleeping quarters. They have not been totally honest with us, their neighbors, and I am not certain that they stay within the laws of their property already. They have many more cars than allowed on their road. They tell us they have dead animals, sheep, dogs and cats buried on their property. They drive several tax- exempt cars and own several tax-exempt properties in the neighborhood. With the city in such a budget crunch, I find the extent of their tax free rights extremely generous as they seem to have millions of dollars to build a huge worship center that they tell us is going to need room for 150 people only about four times a year. I can't help but worry that if you approve this it is going to grow into something much more than they have requested. Finally, I hope that this plan is investigated completely before it is even slightly considered. It will not benefit our neighborhood in any way and I haven't found any way in which it will benefit our great city. If you could give us any reason to feel positive about the Intercessors plan, we would truly welcome hearing from you.

Her statement is recorded on video tape. 5) Blatant disregard for 25 vehicle limit on entrance to campus via No. Post Rd.& 40th Street. A traffic study performed on 8/25/03 during an eight hour period recorded 95 vehicles using this entrance. 6) The Northern Hills Environmental Overlay was put in place many years ago to prevent the destruction of trees, shrubs and grasses native to the area,to protect our Loess Hills-type area. 7) The new entrance and ensuing traffic off Calhoun Road poses a danger to children walking to school. There are no sidewalks. 8) Director Nadine Brown stated in sworn testimony before the Nebraska Supreme Court,that Catholic Masses would be open to the public,when in fact, they are not. On 8/27/03 on video tape at a neighborhood meeting, she stated masses were NOT open to the pubic. 9) The Archdiocese is NOT aware of all that occurs within the Intercessor campus as evidenced by Father Baxter, Chancellor to the Archbishop, at our neighborhood meeting. 10)The Intercessors of the Lamb serve no purpose to the general public or immediate community and is, and will be in the future, a detriment, if the Master Plan is approved. If you consider none of the above, please consider this: Nadine Brown is not an ordained nun into the Catholic Faith; she is a lay person who has tunnel vision when it comes to her"Master Plan"and who has no regard for the laws of the land when it comes to expanding her"vision". We, and many other tax paying neighbors, are very fearful that some residents will throw up their hands and put their homes up for sale (while they can get a fair price) and leave the area. Please consider this when making your decision. Thank you for your time and energy on this matter. Sincerely, - Larry C. Varley Vickie L.

TO ' '� ALL CM'S •_ DIST.#1 ✓ DIST.#2 DIST.#3 DIST.#4 .— February 26, 2004 DIST.#5 DIST.#6 UIST.#7 Marc Kraft, CH.OF STAFF STAFF CITY CLERK This letter is being written in opposition of Case#C8-03-179 Intercessors of the Lamb LOBBYIST Special Use Permit before the City of Omaha Planning Department. As a property owner that is directly adjacent to the property in question I have several reasons as to why I MAR 0 J4 oppose this request for a Special Use Permit. I have lived at 12116 N 40`h St for almost 20 years. -I find it ironic that some of the sameTlME amenities of this community that drew my family to this area are the same amenities sited by the Intercessors of the Lamb of why they want to locate their global business within the community. With the above proposal these amenities are in jeopardy. The draw to Ponca Hills is the beauty of the area,the trees,open spaces, low traffic, quiet,tranquility, a sense of small community living and specifically no commercialization. Where else can you go in the city of Omaha and live in your own park! The Intercessors of the Lamb, at the request of the Planning Department, not on their own, invited the neighbors to a meeting. The neighbors were split into two separate groups,thus two separate meetings as advised in the Leo Daly letter to the Planning Department dated 9-8-03. I wanted to point this out as just one example of where the Intercessors are not totally open with their plans nor completely honest with their answers. - I was discouraged to learn that the Intercessors vision is to turn this quiet community into a commercialized community. During the meeting I attended the vision of the Intercessors was shared. They have a vision of membership growth doubling every year, building not only the large facility but hermit housing around the property, centralizing a worldwide headquarters on this property, obtaining other adjacent residential housing to surround themselves with laypeople, and the establishment of a business for profit. Within the last week I also learned that the original plans have changed and now the plan submitted to the Omaha Planning Board is to have several small motels (living space for 128) scattered within the property. If the Special Use Permit is approved this commercializing of this area will never end as long as the Intercessors are allowed to proceed with their plans to take over the Ponca Hills community. I was also alarmed to hear that men have been seen going in and out of their property wearing ski masks which covered their faces. I also disagree with the numbers of traffic increase to this facility provided by Leo Daly. On a weekday alone almost 100 cars were sited entering/exiting the property via North Post Road. A previous restriction placed upon the North Post Road entrance is limited to 25 vehicles per day. Once this was reported and the Intercessors were slapped on the hand for the violation they began car-pooling. There is no doubt in my mind that the Intercessors will continue to thumb their noses to any restrictions place upon them if this proposal is granted. Why must the neighbors be placed in the position to police? • In addition this is inappropriate usage under zoning DR-ED. It doesn't apply under North Hills Environmental Overlay. Why after the Intercessors were advised by the City Zoning Board to re-locate do they continue to press on with the invasion of Ponca Hills? My other concerns are that property values will decrease. As the Intercessors continue to apply and receive tax-exempt status on their property my taxes will increase to take up .. the slack. This is a low-density residential area and should remain so: Revising the site of construction for this large building or scattering buildings though out the property is not an option. Nor is meeting every code requirement, every placement of a bush, or the replacement of trees that have already been removed, or shutting off the • parking lot lights at a certain time to cut down on light pollution. This community is a residential community and should remain that way. I urge you to vote no for this proposal. Please respond to my concerns and urge the Intercessors to re-locate their global community outside the residential community of Ponca Hills.

My husband and I are adamantly against this request of a Religious Retreat Business in the middle of our wooded, serene, traditional residential area. I really do not understand why they would want to be in a residential area surrounded by neighbors and right behind the Ponca Hills Public Elementary School when they say they seek silence and solitude! There is plenty of empty and available farmland further north of Omaha! We moved to this area in 2002 because it is like"country living" in the city. There are still.plenty - of old trees and abundant wildlife, since the population of people is low. With the Intercessors of the Lamb ambitious plan to build and keep building in the future, this small pocket of"country" will be like the city-lots of houses, people and traffic (I will be very concerned about my daughters safety when she starts at Ponca Hills Elementary School)! I would hate to see the trees, ground and wildlife disturbed-we would probably look to move soon if these plans prevail as we want to be in a private, country setting where wildlife are not scared away. We were looking forward to our home and land to increase in value due to this very unique area by the city, but with a huge campus taking over an enormous portion of land, I really do not see - that happening now. In fact, one might already think our home/land values have declined, as we have found out that they had purchased a home on 1 acre of land for $142,000 and yet it only assessed last year for$1,100(and therefore their taxes were only $19.37)! We purchased a home and 3 acres for_$217,000 and pay roughly $4,000 in taxes! And mind you, this is just one example-they have plenty more homes and land that are very under-assessed in value and then there are those properties that are exempt from taxes altogether. I ask you how these properties can be assessed so low when our city is having deficit problems! I am quite tired of paying more and more taxes to cover for those who don't pay, especially in these tough economic times-and I am sure I am not alone on that issue! Please take ours and our fellow neighbor's feelings into consideration concerning this important issue. We just want our.r_esidential area to remain a quiet, single-family residential area!

LOBBYl3r James Vokal, Jr. President Omaha City Council 2 2 ' � 1819 Farnam Street, Suite LC-1 Omaha, Nebraska 68183 TIME Dear Mr. Vokal, We are writing in concern to the proposed building plans of the Intercessors of the Lamb. The Intercessors have quite an ambitious plan to build several buildings in the Ponca Hills area. This area was designed to be single family dwellings on acreages. We chose to live and raise our family in this area because of the wholesome neighborhood and the natural beauty of the rural area. The plans that the Intercessors of the Lamb have for this area threaten this areas uniqueness. Their plans include several buildings,extensive grading and moving of soil which threaten the ecosystem of Ponca Hills. The animal population, vegetation, and the terrain are going to suffer as a result of these proposed projects. The city and county provided a plan which would protect this area. This plan The Ponca Hills Overlay was created to prevent destruction of the natural flora and fauna of this important area. This proposed plan of the Intercessors not only will affect the unique natural characteristics of the area but will also impact the people population. It will increase traffic and will tax the already existing road infrastructure. This area was never intended to be densely populated. In addition to our opposition of this project due to its detrimental impact to the Ponca Hills area; we are concerned with the image the Intercessor of the Lamb is portraying to the neighborhood. The Intercessors have not tried to become a part of the community. Since they have chosen to live in a community they should do their part and be neighborly and congenial. They also are fostering the image that they are a religious order that is recognized by the Archdiocese of Omaha:yet we were told by Fr. Gregory Baxter that they are a lay community. Please do not allow these building plans of this group that is continually trying to circumvent the law. Thank you for taking the time to listen to our concern. Sincerely, -1--4 ,,,,,..._____)/ ,, on and Dorothy Polan Cc Ponca Hills Homeowners Association James Vokal,Jr. 1819 Farnam Street Suite LC-1 Omaha, NE 68183 Dear Mr.Vokal, I am writing you again to oppose the development project proposed by the Intercessors of the Lambs in the Ponca Hills area. I am sure you are familiar with this issue. I remain totally opposed to this project. The amount of people the development will bring to the area is great and could be detrimental to our fragile environment. Plus,the increase in traffic has me concerned for my safety. I enjoy walking and biking on the roads and as you are aware the are no sidewalks. People ride horses; and there is an abundance of wildlife often on the roadways. This is why we choose to live in the Ponca neighborhood. We enjoy the nature and the peace of the area. Also, I must question what the Intercessors are planning to bring to the infrastructure of our area? I have not seen them attend any local fundraisers for the volunteer fire department. Neighbors will not be invited to attend services at their"church", and to be frank these people are just unfriendly. They walk the roads covered from head to foot; often faces covered, and never smile or offer a friendly wave. Would you and your family and neighbors appreciate this in your neighborhood? And I will not even address the tax- exempt status for their homes and cars because it makes me far to angry. People choose to live in certain neighborhoods for a variety of reasons and take pride in their choices. In recent months neighborhoods around the city have had their livelihood threatened. Is this what we can expect from our elected and appointed officials in the future?The rights of families with different lifestyles, incomes, religions and ideals to be pushed aside so those singular groups can achieve their goals, so much for the concept of "neighborhood". Please consider these concerns and the rights of neighborhoods when you make your decisions. Understand how important every neighborhood is to the basic foundation of society. The Intercessors have the means and money to find a more suitable location for their development. It is not their mission I oppose; it is the overall development of the land. They could use their already acquired property for quiet retreats and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity they claim to be so fond of without destroying the environment and making these unpopular changes in this wonderful neighborhood. Please respond to my and my neighborhoods concerns and keep in mind that we do not have the right to vote for anyone who makes these decisions for us,which I consider taxation without representation.

McClellan, Attorney This Memorandum is sent on behalf of Ponca Hills neighbors to respond to issues raised by the application for a Special Use Permit which has been made by Intercessors of the Lamb,Inc.(The "Applicant") fora site in the Ponca Hills area. The neighbors have grave concerns that the Applicant is attempting to paint opposition to their application as being generated by a form of religious persecution. As this Memorandum sets forth below, the opposition to this Special Use Permit Application is based on the incompatibility of the proposed (use or uses) and the lack of adherence to applicable land use ordinances and regulations that exist in the Omaha zoning jurisdiction. The area that the Applicant proposes to develop (as a permanent and transient residential compound) is in the Ponca Hills Overlay District--the only such environmentally protected overlay district in this area. Page 6 of the Land Use Element of the current Master Plan notes the issues of development in the Ponca Hills Overlay District and states that these are "ecologically sensitive areas." Page 28 of the Land Use element of the current Master Plan states that a density ofonly one unit per five acres in the Ponca Special Development Zone is appropriate. This Applicant is asking to intensely develop a site in this area (with 28 buildings) in an inappropriate manner. A copy of the proposed site plan is attached. Clearly, at least 28 buildings are proposed for the site. In addition, by asking for a Special Use Permit (rather than a rezone or planned development), for a project that is to be phased over a long period of time the neighbors cannot help but feel that the Applicant is attempting to get around both the environmental sensitivity of the area and to sidestep the approval process. Most importantly, the City Council must be aware that the Zoning Board of Appeals turned down a request by this Applicant on November 20,2003 to allow group residential in two houses that are currently constructed and are now part of this plan and designated as group residential. A copy of the minutes from that meeting are attached. The City Council would be overturning a decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals in the guise of granting this Special Use Permit. The neighbors feel that should not be allowed for any Applicant trying to abide by the land use ordinances and regulations that apply to this site. Further comments to this Application follow on the next pages . . . . • Page 2 RE: PROPERTY NW OF 40" and NORTH POST ROAD 1. The proposed use of the site is principally residential and transient residential use. The application submitted by the Applicant is actually for religious assembly and group residential. The site contains one chapel,one"cultural" center, nine or ten houses, and eighteen smaller transient residences which are called hermitages. Twenty-eight buildings in all. For some reason the application was processed as only religious assembly use with the residential use as "incidental" or accessory. The square feet devoted to the chapel, by our calculation, can be no more than approximately 10,000 square feet. The square feet devoted to the residential and transient residential use is • approximately 110,000 square feet. The project must be defined by the principle use, which is clearly residential. There is no support in the zoning code for any of the transient residential use in this area. 2. The use is in an environmental overlay district. On page 4 of the Land Use Element of the Omaha Master Plan (amended February 2004),it notes that in particular that we have allowed many of the unique features of the Omaha area to be destroyed. The Audubon Society of Omaha has written a letter decrying the fact that a project of a dense residential nature has been proposed for this site. (see copy attached) The Intercessors of the Lamb project does not fit the Ponca Hills Overlay District. The area is one of loess hills and the neighbors are adamant that this development with its large residential buildings and cabins not be allowed in the area. Page 6 of the Land Use Element of the current Master Plan notes the issues of development in the Ponca Hills Overlay District and states that these are "ecologically sensitive areas.". Page 28 of the Land Use element of the current Master Plan states that a density of only one unit per five acres in the Ponca Special Development Zone is appropriate. The proposed plans has 28 buildings in this environmentally sensitive area(the area is actually a ravine), each with its own septic system and leech field. This is much more dense that provided for in this area and this residential campus does not make sense. No geotechnical studies have been required even though each of the residential buildings will have its own septic system. In addition,neighbors have concerns that the project is designed to bring people to the development for a transient use including overnight stays similar to camping or cabins. The area is not designated for such a use. There is concern that this aspect of the project has not been discussed in public because it is being able to proceed simply as a religious assembly or church. The grounds,the site, and the proposed chapel are not open to the general public for church services to the knowledge of the neighbors. This Applicant has not proposed what would traditionally be thought of as a"church,"or a"religious assembly"hall. • Page 3 RE: PROPERTY NW OF 40' and NORTH POST ROAD • 3. The project is proposed to be developed in very vague and ambiguous"phases"which will extend over a fifteen year period. Special use permits are designed for each specific building in a project such as this. Under the zoning code,a special use permit expires after two years unless a building is constructed or a building permit is obtained. There is no such thing as a development in phases with a Special Use Permit. The developer should be required to obtain separate permits for each residential structure proposed in this environmentally sensitive site and not be allowed to develop over a ten or fifteen year period under one special use permit that would purport to allow 28 • separate buildings, only one of which has anything to do with religious assembly. It is also especially noteworthy that the same applicant applied for a waiver from the DR zoning regulations to allow group residential for two currently existing buildings that are now included in this plan . In this plan,the two buildings are described only as an "accessory use." to the small chapel. The Zoning Board of Appeals turned down the request of this applicant on November 20, 2003 for group residential for those two houses. A copy of the minutes of that meeting are attached to this memo. By now claiming that the two houses are only incidental to the chapel (located far away from,the chapel and on other lots)is simply a way to circumvent the planning and zoning laws of the City of Omaha. This whole plan is too dense and is not predominately religious assembly in any sense. 4. The neighbors have very grave concerns about the entrances to this project. Again, this project is designed to bring numbers of people for seminars, overnight stay, and other matters that the neighbors cannot predict. Both Calhoun Road and North Post Road do not support sidewalks because of the layout of the area. Current design would allow four separate entrances for this project. None of which are adequate for a project of the size and design. Adequate discussion of entrances has not been had at any public meeting. Most access to the site would come through residential neighborhoods. The access off of Calhoun Road is in the middle of a curve and would be dangerous with the narrowness of the streets and the lack of sidewalks. 5. City Council members should visit the area. The neighbors request that the special use permit be denied. Special attention must be paid to the environmentally sensitive nature of this area and some type of geotechnical engineering report must be done to show how this project will affect the area in the Northern Hills environmental resources overlay district. Each residential building should be considered on its own merits. There is no support in the zoning code for the hermitages or the cabins on this project site.

Tlie use o�`Tiicyc>e and pede3trian trat s n mass transit for access to employment centers,shopping and entertainment has not been seriously considered in the design of the city. Commercial and office buildings are seldom arranged to form spaces, allow shared parking or to accommodate pedestrians or mass transit riders. Loss of housing units in the older areas of Omaha Between 1985 and 1990,only 3.3%of the new homes built were constructed east of 42nd Street while 72.6% were built west of 1-680. At the same time,over 200 units per year were demolished in the easternmost portion of the city, amounting to 95% of all housing demolition. The result is a net Joss of over 125 housing units per year in the area east of 42nd Street. Lack of commercial services in older areas Although 35%of metro area consumers live east of 72nd Street, only 6%of the metro shopping is done there. West of 72nd, however, where 34% of the metro residents live, 61% of the metro shopping takes place. The lack of commercial services in the older areas of Omaha results in people of lower income having to spend more time and money traveling to obtain goods. General design quality A high quality of design in the built environment is considered important to the image of a city and its ability to attract outside investment. Local government plays an important role in setting the standard of design in a community through the design of public facilities. A poor quality of design in public buildings indicates that the community does not care about its general appearance and sends a message that poor quality development is acceptable. Lack of large-scale industrial sites Frequent requests by large industrial companies for sites 175 to 200 acres and up indicate a need to designate a large, new industrial area in Omaha in order to remain competitive in our ability to attract new businesses. Many of our unique natural features have been destroyed Landfills have invaded wooded ravines,prairie remnants have been destroyed,streams have been eroded by increased runoff from additional paving,and lakes are polluted by silt. "Engineering"solutions such as channelizing waterways in order to stabilize banks from erosion and move floodwater quickly downstream has resulted in the loss of trees and wildlife habitat along streams. Environmental costs of low-density development increased land consumption and a loss of natural open space are a result of the national trend toward lower density development. This auto-dependent pattern increases energy consumption and creates air pollution. Low-density acreage subdivisions which are developed on Omaha's fringe restrict and reduce the efficiency of providing services to standard development, consume large amounts of agricultural land, and create agriculture vs. residential conflicts. Lack of large-scale parks in west Omaha At the time when new subdivisions were beginning to be platted west of 72nd Street,larger parks were generally not included in the planning for new development. As a result, that area is lacking in moderate sized public open spaces. 4 1 • Areas of existing development Office/commercial Mediwn/high-density residential Low-Density Residential Low-density residential areas are intended to he utilized primarily for the construction of single- family detached houses,duplexes,townhomes and other forms of low-density residential housing. In some instances, civic buildings, schools or limited high-density housing may be appropriate in low-density residential areas when it can be demonstrated that it is not possible or reasonable to locate them in mixed- use areas. Low-density residential is not to be located in mixed-use areas, but is appropriate surrounding mixed-use areas. Ponca/Elkhorn Special Development Zone . These are ecologically sensitive areas containing a preponderance of steep slopes, wooded hillside and ravine areas,and soils that are prone to severe erosion. They are not likely to receive full urban services in the foreseeable future. Development must depend on the carrying capacity of natural systems to avoid problems with drainage and sewage treatment and to minimize damage to the environment. As a result, normal urban development densities are not appropriate in these areas. High-Density Mixed-Use Areas Mixed-use areas are to contain commercial, office, multi-family and civic uses in areas that are designed to function in an integrated way. All new office and commercial uses proposed for suburban, undeveloped parts of the city are to be located in high-density mixed-use areas. While it is preferred that medium- to high-density residential be located in mixed-use areas, it will also be allowed in the transit corridors shown on the land use map along West Maple, West Dodge and West Center Roads. The goal is to have a balanced, high-density mix of uses within walking range of each other and the surrounding low- density residential areas. Open space, such as small parks or plazas, are to be an integral part of each mixed-use area. Pedestrian pathways are encouraged in order to provide internal circulation within mixed- use areas as well as to serve as connections between mixed-use areas. Pedestrian connections should tie into the city's overall trail network whenever possible. Several sizes and types of mixed-use areas have been defined. Areas vary primarily according to their size, density, allowed building types and the classification of the streets that serve each mixed-use area. The sizes indicated for each mixed-use area are general guidelines. Variances in size may he allowed for mixed-use areas that are exceptionally well designed and meet the goals of the Master Plan to a high degree. Following is a description of each type of mixed-use area: Convenience Mixed-Use Areas • The intent of the convenience mixed-use area is to provide goods and services at a moderate scale to nearby residences. Typical facilities include convenience stores,grocery stores, gas stations, ATMs, and small offices and shops. Medium-density residential structures,such as duplexes, townhomes and small-scale apartments are allowed and encouraged to locate in convenience areas, although this may not be practical in very small developments. Large-scale apartment buildings or complexes are not allowed. Civic uses, such as a small scale government branch office, or a small scale police or fire facility, would he appropriate to locate in a convenience size mixed-use area.

Zoning Board of Appeals Mindtes — November 20, 2003 Page 18 e in ion to the rAte the meeting Mr.oKuhn,c lChairman, d g ed that the Board had received numerousl letters panndlttelephone requests. He also acknowledged calls in opposition to the requests. Mr. Blair stated that the requests are for a variance to the allowed group residential living portion of the code. All of these districts are considered single family districts and permit only single family uses. A single family is defined as one or more people living as a housekeeping unit provided that no more than 3 can be unrelated. He stated that in all cases there are more than 3 unrelated people living in the same residence and is the use is classified as group residential. The definition of group residential is a group of people in excess of the number of 3 who are unrelated whether they are friends or whatever. There are zoning classifications that permit that type of use. Mr. Blair stated that the Department has notified all property owners within 300', which is the policy of the Board. Mr. Kuhn stated that the Board is only dealing with the zoning issue and not whether this is a legitimate organization, or whether they are a cult. The issue before the Board is simply a zoning issue. Mr. Kuhn noted that the discussion should not refer to hatred, religious beliefs, or anything that the Board does not have authority to address. The comments should be directed solely to the issue as to a waiver request and why there is a hardship or practical difficulty. Mr. Forg'et stated that he felt that there are two issues regarding these requests. One is property value and the second is stability of the neighborhood. He stated that he felt that the property values in the area would not decrease because of this use waiver. Historically, when there are religious institutions in an area, property values stabilize or go up. Mr. Forg'et noted that they submitted as part of their application pictures (Exhibit 1, Board's file) of the properties as they exist today. theystated had beent most of the neglected and overties had to rgrown withbe weedsned up when they were purchased because Mr. Forg'et stated that each of the homes contain a chapel. He stated that the County Assessor has inspected each of these homes and found that there is a chapel in each of the homes. Mr. Forg'et stated that there is federal law that the Board has to consider when making a decision on these requests. He stated that there must be a compelling governmental interest that the Board has to protect by denying the use waiver application. Also, in doing so, the Board has to use the least restrictive means in doing so. Mr. Forg'et stated that he felt there is no compelling governmental interest that eed the Beard to protected.imp Ale o an n this a esicaned denial of this use waiver is the least restrictive means for Mr. Forg'et stated that all of these structures house the religious brothers and sisters of this organization. He felt that to deny the request, many of the people would have to vacant the homes. Also, some of them may have to leave the religious order. This would also disrupt the solitude of the silence that many of athe atants who for the applicant ant becaome to he use this nis also a source of n seek. Mr. Forg'et stated that this would causehardship revenue. Mr. Jerram stated that he felt this use is expanding out into the neighborhood and changing the character of the neighborhood from a residential to a different use. Mr. Forg'et stated that there is over 100 acres of land that is contiguous. Only two of the subject properties fall outside of the contiguous area.

It was a very unique experience, and I might add, is still a very unique and valuable asset to thr1i o ta, One day, however,my tranquility was shaken with the noise of the bulldozer tearing down over fifty one-hundred-year-old Bur oak trees by the Hawkins Construction Company, one block from my home. Mr. Hawkins informed me that I could have all the wood I wanted dte forour fireplaceo at'understanding just wanted the dirt under those trees for building a new highway! help City Councilman, Joe Friend, the destruction was stopped and the idea for an overlay district in the Ponca Hills was born. The spirit of the Overlay District, as originally set up,was for low density family homes nestled o the in natural settings, in an area from 1680 to the Washington should bel�ne and from ery cognizant how manynd street east tti es a Missouri River. You who sit on the Omaha City Council developer has asked to destroy only a"small"natural area city. o know shouldy u also beat man aware by now how few natural areas there are left in this city! And,youshould ais "finite" wisdom has not been able to create a natural area of esthetic beauty comparable to what Nature has created! Ponca Hills, as yet, fits much of that description!... • • The plan presented by the Intercessors of the Lamb does not fit in the spir eof the Overlay verl annine District plan and should be denied. I can recall several developments of 1 ssei ty that Board and City Council have denied in the past in the Ponca Hills area. One vividly comes to mind that could compare to the Intercessors plan--that plan had twenty-six duplexes shoved toogt fits igether on e what nicely we considered a small acreage. Today there is one lovely home on that treed property with the other homes on the street. To illustrate further this density problem, I invite you to take a drive along I- 180 to the housing development just smiside the western boundaries of the Ponca Hills Overlay District and just west of the nca 72°a street. There you will see why we worked destroying a so diligently to place area; another�t morrow!istrict in the PIs this Hills east of 72nd Street.-- one developer today what the planners of the City of Omaha want the Ponca Hills to become? I hope not! I ask you to please deny this permit! Thank you! Sincerely, • , 7,%)..e,a_, ejlX7e -x__--- Ione Werthman,Conservation Chair Audubon Society of Omaha A...1..1...... ;.- f... ........i..

OF 40TH ST. AND NORTH POST ROAD 1. The use of the site is principally residential and transient residential use. The application submitted by the Applicant is actually for religious assembly and group residential. The site contains one chapel, one"cultural" center, nine or ten houses, and eighteen smaller transient residences which are called hermitages. For some reason the application was processed as only a religious assembly with the residential use as "incidental"or accessory. The square feet devoted to the chapel, by our calculation, can be no more than approximately 10,000 square feet. The square feet devoted to the residential and transient residential use is approximately . 110,000_square feet. The project must be defined by the principle use which is clearly residential. There is no support in the zoning code for any of the transient residential use in this area. See attachment #1 regarding the finding accessory and principle use and attachment #2 to see how the applicant described the special use permits that use be needed. 2. The use is in an environmental overlay district. On page 4 of the Land Use Element of the Omaha Master Plan (amended February 2004, it notes in particular that we have allowed many of the unique features of the Omaha area to be destroyed. The Audubon Society of Omaha has written a letter decrying the fact that a project of a dense residential nature has been proposed for this site. The Intercessors of the Lamb project does not fit the Ponca Hills Overlay District. The area is one of loess hills and the neighbors are adamant that this development with its large residential buildings and cabins not be allowed in the area. Page 6 of the Land Use Element of the current Master Plan notes the issues of development in the Ponca Hills Overlay District and states that these are "ecologically sensitive areas.". Page 28 of the Land Use element of the current Master Plan states that a density of only one unit per five acres in the Ponca Special Development Zone is appropriate. The proposed plans has 28 buildings in this environmentally sensitive area(the area is actually a ravine), each with its own septic system and leech field. This is much more dense that provided for in this area and this residential campus does not make sense. No geotechnical studies have been required even though each of the residential buildings will have its own septic system and there is no requirement that the project connect to a sewer system. In addition, neighbors have concerns that he project is designed to bring people to the development for a transient use including overnight stays similar to camping or cabins. The area is not designated for such a use and the concern is that this aspect of the project has not been discussed in public because it is being able to proceed simply as a religious assembly or church. Incidentally,the grounds and the proposed chapel are not open to the general public for church services to the knowledge of the neighbors. This is not what would traditionally be thought of as a church. 3. The project is proposed to be developed in very vague and ambiguous "phases"which will extend over a fifteen year period. Special use permits are designed for each specific building in a project such as this. The neighbors would not object to allowing the chapel to be built under a special use permit at this time. Under the zoning code, a special use permit expires after two years unless a building is constructed or a building permit is obtained. There is no such thing as a development in phases with a special use permit. The developer should be required to obtain separate permits for each residential structure proposed in this environmentally sensitive site and not be allowed to develop over a ten or fifteen year period under one special use permit that would purport to allow 28 separate buildings, only one of which has anything to do with religious assembly. Copies of relevant pages from the Master Plan are attached. It is also especially noteworthy that the same applicant applied for a waiver from the DR zoning regulations to allow group residential for two currently existing buildings that are now included in this plan and for which, now, are only an accessory use in the current plan. The Zoning Board of Appeals turned down the request of this applicant on November 20,2003 for group residential for those two houses. A copy of the minutes of that meeting are attached to this memo. By now claiming that the two houses are only incidental to the chapel (located far away from, the chapel and on other lots)is simply a way to circumvent the planning and zoning laws of the City of Omaha. 4. The neighbors have very grave concerns about the entrances to this project. Again, this project is designed to bring numbers of people for seminars, overnight stay, and other matters that the neighbors cannot predict. Both Calhoun Road and North Post Road do not support sidewalks because of the layout of the area. Current design would allow four separate entrances for this project. None of which are adequate for a project of the size and design. Adequate discussion of entrances has not been had at any public meeting. Most access to the site would come through residential neighborhoods. The access off of Calhoun Road is in the middle of a curve and would be dangerous with the narrowness of the streets and the lack of sidewalks. 5. The neighbors request that the special use permit be denied. Special attention must be paid to the environmentally sensitive nature of this area and some type of geotechnical engineering report must be done to show how this project will affect the area in the Northern Hills environmental resources overlay district. Each residential building should be considered on its own merits. There is no support in the zoning code for the hermitages or the cabins on this project site. Prepared by; Michael D.

The use of rcyc e and pc C ran trans nc. mass transit for access to employment centers,shopping and entertainment has not been seriously considered in the design of the city. Commercial and office buildings are seldom arranged to form spaces,allow shared parking or to accommodate pedestrians or mass transit riders. Loss of housing units in the older areas of Omaha Between 1985 and 1990, only 3.3% of the new homes built were constructed east of 42nd Street while 72.6"/0 were built west of 1-680. At the same time, over 200 units per year were demolished in the easternmost portion of the city, amounting to 95% of all housing demolition. The result is a net loss of over 125 housing units per year in the area east of 42nd Street. Lack of commercial services in older areas Although 35%of metro area consumers live east of 72nd Street, only 6"/0 of the metro shopping is done there. West of 72nd, however, where 34% of the metro residents live, 61% of the metro shopping takes place. The lack of commercial services in the older areas of Omaha results in people of lower income having to spend more time and money traveling to obtain goods. General design quality A high quality of design in the built environment is considered important to the image of a city and its ability to attract outside investment. Local government plays an important role in setting the standard of design in a community through the design of public facilities. A poor quality of design in public buildings indicates that the community does not care about its general appearance and sends a message that poor quality development is acceptable. Lack of large-scale industrial sites Frequent requests by large industrial companies for sites 175 to 200 acres and up indicate a need to designate a large, new industrial area in Omaha in order to remain competitive in our ability to attract new businesses. Many of our unique natural features have been destroyed Landfills have invaded wooded ravines, prairie remnants have been destroyed, streams have been eroded by increased runoff from additional paving,and lakes are polluted by silt. "Engineering'. solutions such as channelizing waterways in order to stabilize banks from erosion and move floodwater quickly downstream has resulted in the loss of trees and wildlife habitat along streams. Environmental costs of low-density development Increased land consumption and a loss of natural open space are a result of the national trend toward lower density development. This auto-dependent pattern increases energy consumption and creates air pollution. Low-density acreage subdivisions which are developed on Omaha's fringe restrict and reduce the efficiency of providing services to standard development, consume large amounts of agricultural land, and create agriculture vs. residential conflicts. Lack of large-scale parks in west Omaha At the time when new subdivisions were beginning to be platted west of 72nd Street,larger parks were generally not included in the planning for new development. As a result, that area is lacking in moderate sized public open spaces. 4 • Areas of existing development Office/commercial Medium/high-density residential Low-Density Residential Low-density residential areas are intended to he utilized primarily for the construction of single- family detached houses,duplexes,townhomes and other forms of low-density residential housing. In some instances, civic buildings, schools or limited high-density housing may be appropriate in low-density residential areas when it can be demonstrated that it is not possible or reasonable to locate them in mixed- use areas. Low-density residential is not to be located in mixed-use areas, but is appropriate surrounding mixed-use areas. • • Ponca/Elkhorn Special Development Zone These are ecologically sensitive areas containing a preponderance of steep slopes, 42_ wooded hillside and ravine areas,and soils that are prone to severe erosion. They are not likely to receive full urban services in the foreseeable future. Development must depend on the carrying capacity of natural systems to avoid problems with drainage and sewage treatment and to minimize damage to the environment. As a result, normal urban development densities are not appropriate in these areas. High-Density Mixed-Use Areas Mixed-use areas are to contain commercial, office, multi-family and civic uses in areas that are designed to function in an integrated way. All new office and commercial uses proposed for suburban, undeveloped parts of the city are to be located in high-density mixed-use areas. While it is preferred that medium- to high-density residential be located in mixed-use areas, it will also be allowed in the transit corridors shown on the land use map along West Maple,West Dodge and West Center Roads. The goal is to have a balanced, high-density mix of uses within walking range of each other and the surrounding low- density residential areas. Open space, such as small parks or plazas, are to be an integral part of each mixed-use area. Pedestrian pathways are encouraged in order to provide internal circulation within mixed- use areas as well as to serve as connections between mixed-use areas. Pedestrian connections should tie into the city's overall trail network whenever possible. Several sizes and types of mixed-use areas have been defined. Areas vary primarily according to their size, density, allowed building types and the classification of the streets that serve each mixed-use area. The sizes indicated for each mixed-use area are general guidelines. Variances in size may be allowed for mixed-use areas that are exceptionally well designed and meet the goals of the Master Plan to a high degree. Following is a description of each type of mixed-use area: Convenience Mixed-Use Areas The intent of the convenience mixed-use area is to provide goods and services at a moderate scale to nearby residences. Typical facilities include convenience stores,grocery stores, gas stations, ATMs, and small offices and shops. Medium-density residential structures, such as duplexes, townhomes and small-scale apartments are allowed and encouraged to locate in • convenience areas, although this may not be practical in very small developments. Large-scale apartment buildings or complexes are not allowed. Civic uses, such as a small scale government branch office, or a small scale police or fire facility, would he appropriate to locate in a convenience size mixed-use area.

At the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting held on November 20, 2003, Mr. Gerald Forget, Ms. Judith Sellers, and Father John Paul Joyce appeared in support of the requests. Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes — November 20, 2003 Page 18 At the meeting Mr. Kuhn, Chairman, recognized approximately 100 people in opposition to the requests. He also acknowledged that the Board had received numerous letters and telephone calls in opposition to the requests. Mr. Blair stated that the requests are for a variance to the allowed group residential living portion of the code. All of these districts are considered single family districts and permit only single family uses. A single family is defined as one or more people living as a housekeeping unit provided that no more than 3 can be unrelated. He stated that in all cases there are more than 3 unrelated people living in the same residence and is the use is classified as group residential. The definition of group residential is a group of people in excess of the number of 3 who are unrelated whether they are friends or whatever. There are zoning classifications that permit that type of use. Mr. Blair stated that the Department has notified all property owners within 300', which is the policy of the Board. Mr. Kuhn stated that the Board is only dealing with the zoning issue and not whether this is a legitimate organization, or whether they are a cult. The issue before the Board is simply a zoning issue. Mr. Kuhn noted that the discussion should not refer to hatred, religious beliefs, or anything that the Board does not have authority to address. The comments should be directed solely to the issue as to a waiver request and why there is a hardship or practical difficulty. Mr. Forg'et stated that he felt that there are two issues regarding these requests. One is property value and the second is stability of the neighborhood. He stated that he felt that the property values in the area would not decrease because of this use waiver. Historically, when there are religious institutions in an area, property values stabilize or go up. Mr. Forg'et noted that they submitted as part of their application pictures (Exhibit 1, Board's file) of the properties as they exist today. He stated that most of the properties had to be cleaned up when they were purchased because they had been neglected and overgrown with weeds. Mr. Forg'et stated that each of the homes contain a chapel. He stated that the County Assessor has inspected each of these homes and found that there is a chapel in each of the homes. Mr. Forg'et stated that there is federal law that the Board has to consider when making a decision on these requests. He stated that there must be a compelling governmental interest that the Board has to protect by denying the use waiver application. Also, in doing so, the Board has to use the least restrictive means in doing so. Mr. Forg'et stated that he felt there is no compelling governmental interest that needs to be protected. Aiso an unrestricted denial of this use waiver is the least restrictive means for the Board to impose on this applicant. Mr. Forg'et stated that all of these structures house the religious brothers and sisters of this organization. He felt that to deny the request, many of the people would have to vacant the homes. Also, some of them may have to leave the religious order. This would also disrupt the solitude of the silence that many of the retreatants who come to the organization seek. Mr. Forg'et stated that this would cause a hardship for the applicant because this is also a source of revenue. Mr. Jerram stated that he felt this use is expanding out into the neighborhood and changing the character of the neighborhood from a residential to a different use. Mr. Forg'et stated that there is over 100 acres of land that is contiguous. Only two of the subject properties fall outside of the contiguous area. Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes — November 20, 2003 Page 20 Mr. Marvin Michaels stated that he felt that the applicant has consistently broken the law. He stated that he does not want the single family homes converted to apartments. Mr. Dan Latenser, 4028 North Post Road, stated that the applicant has had the means to come into compliance with the zoning code many years ago. He stated that the applications for the variances does not include the names of the guests in any of the houses. Mr. Latenser stated that many of the houses have guest rooms and questioned if the number of guests in each home is included in the application. Mr. Hazer stated that he felt that this is not an appropriate place in this zoning classification. He stated that this variance is necessary because there are several unrelated people living together and it does not conform to the definition of single family housing. Mr. Hazer stated that he felt the applicant should relocate to an area where it is appropriate to have this type of organization. Mr. Hazer moved to DENY the request for variances to allow group residential living for 4-7 people not defined as a family and not permitted in the DR, R1, and R2 districts, subject to allowing the applicant 9 months to come into compliance. Mr. Hancock seconded the motion.

Sigerson,Jr. Omaha City Council It has been brought to my attention that the Intercessors of the Lamb establishment has proposed a new high density development in the Ponca Hills Overlay District. I wish to address this situation as I was one of the original Ponca Hills residents who helped establish the Ponca Hills Overlay District. I moved to the Ponca Hills fifteen years ago because of the natural outdoors and rural feeling the Hills offered. The tranquility of living with nature—its wildlife,birds, wooded areas, and wild flowers -- gave us country living with close access to the city. It was a very unique experience, and I might add, is still a very unique and valuable asset to the city of Omaha, One day, however, my tranquility was shaken with the noise of the bulldozer tearing down over fifty one-hundred-year-old Bur oak trees by the Hawkins Construction Company, one block from my home. Mr. Hawkins informed me that I could have all the wood I wanted for our fireplace -- free! He just wanted the dirt under those trees for building a new highway! With the help of a very understanding City Councilman,Joe Friend, the destruction was stopped and the idea for an overlay district in the Ponca Hills was born. The spirit of the Overlay District, as originally set up, was for low density family homes nestled in natural settings, in an area from 1680 to the Washington County line and from 72"d street east to the Missouri River. You who sit on the Omaha City Council should be very cognizant of how many times a developer has asked to destroy only a "small"natural area in our city. You should also be aware by now how few natural areas there are left in this city! And,you should also know by now that man in his "finite" wisdom has not been able to create a natural area of esthetic beauty comparable to what Nature has created! Ponca Hills, as yet, fits much of that description!.-- . . The plan presented by the Intercessors of the Lamb does not fit in the spirit of the Overlay District plan and should be denied. I can recall several developments of lesser density that the Plannine Board and City Council have denied in the past in the Ponca Hills area. One vividly comes to mind that could compare to the Intercessors plan-- that plan had twenty-six duplexes shoved together on what we considered a small acreage. Today there is one lovely home on that treed property that fits in very nicely with the other homes on the street. To illustrate further this density problem, I invite you to take a drive along I- 180 to the housing development just 9utside the western boundaries of the Ponca Hills Overlay District and just west of 72nd street. There you will see why we worked so diligently to place the overlay,TSistaict in the Ponca Hills east of 72nd Street.-- one developer today destroying a "small"area; another tomorrow! Is this what the planners of the City of Omaha want the Ponca Hills to become? I hope not! I ask you to please deny this permit! Thank you! • • • Sincerely, C,((1/KAL__ &).."--ofer____,_ Ione Werthman, Conservation Chair Audubon Society of Omaha A....1.,I..... ;,- 4... ........I..

One site designated 25D03 was recorded and partially excavated in the 1930s. The legal description listed is simply the entire NE 1/4 of the Section 8. It is common that these sites recorded before the 1960s are imprecisely located and almost certainly the site does not cover the entire 1/4 section however where exactly it is remains unclear. • The other site is designated 25D026 which I recorded in 1991 based on information provided by Nes Latenser. That site is located in the center of the west 1/2 of the SE 1/4 of Section 8. Both of these sites are listed as affiliated with the Central Plains tradition. This tradition is an archeological label given to an unknown Native American group that established many small villages and hamlets of earthiodges up and down the Missouri River valley from about A.D. 1000- 1400. Sites of this culture are quite common in the Ponca Hills district and some (including 25D026) retain visible depressions where earthlodge dwellings once stood. While a number of burials have been found in the Douglas/Washington County area none have been linked to specific areas within these two sites. However, it would not be uncommon to find burials associated with these sites. State law requires that the Historical Society evaluate human burials when inadvertently discovered, although an Attorney General opinion from several years ago does not allow us to proactively get involved in proposed developments unless we know for certain that burials will be disturbed. In order to determine if burials are present we would need landowner permission. I hope that some of this information will be of some assistance and please have your attorney contact me if he would like to discuss the legal aspects of burial protection in Nebraska.

Sigerson,Jr. Omaha City Council It has been brought to my attention that the Intercessors of the Lamb establishment has proposed a new high density development in the Ponca Hills Overlay District. I wish to address this situation as I was one of the original Ponca Hills residents who helped establish the Ponca Hills Overlay District. I moved to the Ponca Hills fifteen years ago because of the natural outdoors and rural feeling the Hills offered. The tranquility of living with nature-its wildlife,birds, wooded areas, and wild flowers -- gave us country living with close access to the city. It was a very unique experience, and I might add, is still a very unique and valuable asset to the city of Omaha. One day, however, my tranquility was shaken with the noise of the bulldozer tearing down over fifty one-hundred-year-old Bur oak trees by the Hawkins Construction Company, one block from my home. Mr. Hawkins informed me that I could have all the wood 1 wanted for our fireplace -- free! He just wanted the dirt under those trees for building a new highway! With the help of a very understanding City Councilman, Joe Friend, the destruction was stopped and the idea for an overlay district in the Ponca Hills was born. The spirit of the Overlay District, as originally set up, was for low density family homes nestled in natural settings, in an area from 1680 to the Washington County line and from 72nd street east to the Missouri River. You who sit on the Omaha City Council should be very cognizant of how many times a developer has asked to destroy only a "small"natural area in our city. You should also be aware by now how few natural areas there are left in this city! And,you should also know by now that man in his "finite" wisdom has not been able to create a natural area of esthetic beauty comparable to what Nature has created! Ponca Hills, as yet, fits much of that description!.- The plan presented by the Intercessors of the Lamb does not fit in the spirit of the Overlay District plan and should be denied. I can recall several developments of lesser density that the Planning Board and City Council have denied in the past in the Pcmca Hills area. One vividly comes to mind that could compare to the Intercessors plan -- that plan had twenty-six duplexes shoved together on what we considered a small acreage. Today there is one lovely home on that treed property that fits in very nicely with the other homes on the street. To illustrate further this density problem, I invite you to take a drive along I- 180 to the housing development just outside the western boundaries of the Ponca Hills Overlay District and just west of 72°d street. There you will see why we worked so diligently to place the overlay,District in the Ponca Hills east of 72nd Street.-- one developer today destroying a"small"area; another tomorrow! Is this what the planners of the City of Omaha want the Ponca Hills to become? I hope not! I ask you to please deny this permit! Thank you! •-.

TIME �''''^ I have had conversations with members of the Ponca Hills Ponca Preservation Association concerning the role religious freedom plays in this specific matter. As you know Archbishop Curtiss stated to you in his letter of May 7, 2004, that he expects the Intercessors to adhere to all applicable zoning laws and other related ordinances and regulations connected with their proposal. The request by the Intercessors therefore is a land use issue as far as the Archdiocese of Omaha is concerned. It is not a matter of religious freedom as some may suggest. Archbishop Curtiss has not given his final approval for the project, which is necessary for the Intercessors to proceed, but has reserved that judgment until hearing the outcome of the City Council meeting and hearing the concerns of the neighbors. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, /j F �+ _w2, Reverend Gregory P. Baxter Chancellor cc Archbishop Elden F.

On October 17, 2003 Gary Hall (City Planner)told me over the telephone the request had been withdrawn. On October 28, 2003 Mike Carter( City Planner)told me over the telephone the Intercessors of the Lamb need a waiver from the Zoning Board before they could apply for a special use permit On October 29, 2003 Gary Hall in a telephone call told me no Special Use Permit was needed. Just Zoning Board approval. On November 3, 2003 the Intercessors of the Lamb applied for a waiver to allow group homes on property they owned. On November 20, 2003 the Zoning Board denied the zoning change. As Zoning Board member Mr. Hazer said before denial quote "I feel the applicant should relocate to an area where it is approperate to have this type of organization". Residents of Ponca Hills have banded together in opposition to this project.We feel a church of any domination is welcome , but Group Homes and what could come next in a project like this is not welcome. WE hope you give as much consideration to the denial the Zoning Board gave as to the approval given by the Planning-Board. Thank 1. 12037 No. 40 TH ST.

I do not object to there building a Church on their property. There project as a whole is not welcome in the Ponca Hills.Their neighbors have banded together as the Ponca Hills Preservation Association to stop this project. They have not been good neighbors because they have tried to deceive us. On August 26 &27,2003 Nadine Brown said at a neighborhood meeting "quote" I want to be a good neighbor and will leave the 5 homes she owns in our neighborhood on the tax rolls. As it turned out on July 16, 2003 she had applied for tax exempt status on these 5 properties ,2 of which are in SID #128 in which I live. It was approved the very day she had the meeting with us. With only 31 homes in our SID,this puts an added tax burden of$50-60 per year on each home and we resent it. I can furnish the tape of the meeting if you want to see it. The 5 homes are located at; 1 11706 No. Post Rd 2 12103 Ponca Rd. 3 11805 Calhoun Rd. 4 12532 No. 40 Th St. 5 12209 No 40 Th St. #4&5 are in SID#128. Thank You, 12037 No. 40 TH ST.

I have been praying with them many years. They are about bringing peace and healing through prayer to our Omaha community and those around the world.

The Intercessors of the Lamb are a Catholic Community of the Archdiocese of Omaha. As lay members of the Intercessors of the Lamb, residents of the Ponca Hills Neighborhood, and members St. PhilipNeri Catholic of Church, we would like to take this opportunity of the Intercessors and the building project they are seeking to complete. write in support We have known and been actively involved with the Intercessors of the Lamb Community for over 14 years and have lived next door to one of the Intercessors h for almost nine years, since July 1995. As neighbors, our experience with the ouses Intercessors hasbeen wonderful. We are hardly aware of their coming and going as they balance their days between work and prayer. The hermits are hard working, dedicated men and women who have come from all over the world to commit their lives to the service of God and others. The gifts of who come to them, have been aninspiration to hospitality us and our ten children. We could not 11 imagine a safer, more loving environment for our children surrounded by these cheerful, caring, servants of theLo d to grow up in than to be The charism of the Intercessors requires an atmosphere of quiet prayerfulness and the utmost care is taken to preserve and enhance the beauty of the natural at all times environment. Because of this contemplative lifestyle of quiet beauty, the Intercessors exceed, as neighbors, the highest expectations in every regard. And while they deserve the highest recognition for their tireless service to the Church and Omaha community, they prefer to remain as God has led, simple laborers in His fields of harvest, praying in quiet intercession for the needs of the world. The building of the Gathering Place in the interior of the campus would helpto draw this s ministr y activity away from the surrounding neighborhoods and focus it more interiorly, which would greatly benefit the Intercessor Community as well as satisfy the neighbors around us. We have attached a copy of the St. Philip Neri Sunday bulletin from Sunday, June 6, 2004. We would like to bring to your attention an article on the inside of the first page of the bulletin written by our former Pastor, Fr. Dan Kampschnider, concerning the Intercessors of the Lamb. Please take time to read this short article. Fr. Kampschnider served St. Philip Neri the past seven years before his reassignment to another parish in West Omaha this spring. Many of the lay members of the Intercessors of the Lamb, who live in the Ponca Hills area, are very active in the parish. Many of us have become well acquainted with Fr. Kampschnider. Fr. Kampschnider has been a respected priest in the Archdiocese of Omaha for over 25 years and during his time at St. Philip Neri;he certainly was well aware of the activities of the Intercessors of the Lamb, who are located within the geographic region of St. Philip Neri Parish. After reading the article, we hope you will agree that Fr. Kampschnider appears to have found our presence in the parish a positive influence. We are asking you to vote in favor of this most important project on June 22, 2004. We feel that this project is in the best interest of the Ponca Hills area now and well into the future. This project will be a key element in maintaining the peace and serenity that is so much a part of the beautyof Ponca Hills. Thank ank you for your attention in this matter.

JUN 14 '04 1819 Farrram Street LC-1 Omaha, NE 68183 TIME • u 2 Dear Mr. Vokal, My name is Judith Sellers and I am an Intercessor of the Lamb Lay Companion as well as one of two employees of the Intercessors. I live in Northwest Omaha with my two teenage children and grandchild. Our center is located in Ponca Hills and is known as Bellwether. I am writing to urge your support of our Master Plan which was approved on April 7 by the Planning Board and will be heard at the City Council public hearing on June 22, 2004. As I am sure you are aware, there has been much organized opposition to our recent building plans which has extended to an opposition of our actual community. Much of the opposition really is unrelated to the building. I am enclosing a brochure about Intercessors of the Lamb and Bellwether along with copies of some documents for your review which may help to clarify some questions which you might have. Intercessors of the Lamb is officially recognized by the Catholic Church Although not all of you are Catholic, much of the opposition has made claims that the Interces- sors of the Lamb are not officially Catholic and that our community is a really a cult. I present the following to illustrate our status within the Archdiocese of Omaha and the Catholic Church. We are listed in the 2003 Official Catholic Directory on page 920 of which I have provided a copy. Intercessors of the Lamb, an officially recognized community in the Catholic Church, was founded by Mother Nadine Brown over 25 years ago when she came out of'the cloister in order to bring to others a spirituality of prayer and relationship with God. This is known more offi- cially as "contemplative spirituality". This spirituality was not just for the cloistered nun or monk, but for all. This is why Intercessors of the Lamb have brothers and sisters, (known as hermits), priests, and lay people. The enclosed flyer "What is a Hermit" will help clarify the �, t-1(0..) 1 r,' LAMP I-'rr.t ( IO2) 455-1323 Web ivzC W.bellzreiheronrr7lnz.,)r,. Church's definition of a Hermit, an authentically recognized vocation in the Catholic Church. 'Our Hermits come from various parts of the world, and each Hermit requesting entrance is re- - quired to have all appropriate Visa and Immigration Documentation. We work closely with an Immigration Attorney here in Omaha to ensure that all of this documentation is in place. As you have noticed in the Master Plan, there are Hermitages to be built which are dwelling places where a Hermit can reside or a retreatant can go to spend time in prayer. The Hermitage fosters the atmosphere of silence and solitude. We also have four priests, three of whom, in addition to serving our community also serve as As- sociate Pastors at Holy Cross and St. Bernadette Parishes in Omaha. Our first priest ordained, Fr. John Paul Joyce, served for three years as part-time Associate Pastor at St. Philip Neri and part time with the Intercessors. As of the end ofJune, he is full time with his community, the In- tercessors of the Lamb. This was officially announced in the Catholic Voice newspaper. The lay Intercessors of the Lamb live in their own homes and have outside jobs. According to their state in life, a Lay Companion lives the prayer life as they are able. Currently there are five families whose residences are out in Ponca Hills. The rest of the local laity live at different loca- tions around the city. There are also Lay Companions who live around the world. The community has gone through all of the proper permission avenues that all new Catholic Communities go through and remains obedient to our local Authority, Archbishop Curtiss. We received our first official Church Recognition in 1992 when we took what was called Step One, and became a Private Association of the Faithful. Archbishop Sheehan signed the Decree at this ceremony. We took Step Two in 1998 and became a Public Association of the Faithful. Archbishop Curtiss signed this Decree and I have enclosed a copy of this along with a Church Approved "Holy Rule"for your review. The "Holy Rule" is the Way of Life for an Intercessor of the Lamb and as you can see, our mission is prayer and teaching others to pray. The prayer life is fostered through an environment of Silence and Solitude, which we make great efforts to main- tain here at Bellwether. Much care and thought has gone into the Master Plan in order to main- tain the beautiful grounds of our center. One of our Hermits has professional training in horti- culture and is working closely with our architect so all requirements are met regarding the re- placement of any trees to be removed in our long range plan. Our Ministry and Outreach As a community with the mission of providing an atmosphere of fostering a relationship with God, we have individuals who come here on retreat. Many priests make their annual retreat here. Most of the retreatants are on what is called a "Silent Retreat" and can be seen walking on or around the grounds. They are silently meditating or praying as they walk. Again, it is very important that we maintain an atmosphere of silence and solitude. Traffic Concerns and the proposed Road Entrance Our new chapel is being constructed so that our community will be able to celebrate Mass to- gether and also to dine together. Our larger events are held away front our campus. Our neighbors had expressed great concerns over traffic on North Post Road and lighting issues. In- tercessors of the Lamb held two meetings with the neighbors on North Post Road and North 40th and after listening to their concerns, a change was made where the entrance would be from North Post Road to an entrance from Calhoun Road which could be easily accessed from 1-75. This change requires a road and comes at an additional expense of over$400,000.00 to the com- munity. It should be noted that the new site of our road entrance, off of Calhoun Road, already has substantial traffic due to large and busy commercial sites. The Forgot Store, located on the corner of Calhoun and Ponca Roads has loud music and excessive traffic each night and has • been there for years with absolutely no problem from neighbors. The property next to the For- got Store is a very large plastic factory whose back side adjoins the back yard of one our prop- erties, 12103 Ponca Road Large trucks, as well as the employee traffic generated by this manufacturer have also been there for years. Next to the plastic factory is the proposed en- trance to our chapel. (Between the driveway to the plastic factory and where there is an exist- ing driveway to one of our other properties, 11805 Calhoun Road, known as St. Michael's) I would encourage you to drive past this proposed road entrance to appreciate the fact that this new entrance is really more in a commercial area than a residential area. The main "next door neighbor" to our new proposed entrance site, outside of the large industrial building is one of our Lay families, Mr. and Mrs. Becker, and their ten children. Another point regarding traffic concerns is that the retreatants really do not generate any addi- tional traffic as more than 90%fly in and we pick them up using one of our cars. Most of the traffic for the chapel use would be coming from within the campus. In addition to moving the road site, our architects took extraordinary care in the actual design of the road itself drawing it over 33 times to ensure that as few trees as possible would be re- moved and to accommodate the unique slopes of the land while maintaining as much beauty as possible. International Workshop to be held at the Hilton Omaha and Qwest Center Omaha 2004 and 2005 Once a year, we present an international workshop which has been held at different locations around the city for the past eleven years. The next two years, we have contracted all of the ballroom space on the convention side of the new Qwest Center and 350 rooms, almost the en- tire new Hilton for an entire week in July for both years. We have been more than impressed with the wonderful staff serving both of the new facilities. We had representatives from over 13 countries and most of the 50 states at last year's workshop held at the Holiday Inn. We could see that we had outgrown their facility, which at the time, had the largest ballroom in Omaha. The new Qwest Center and Hilton were very timely for us and we are very excited to host our annual event at these new facilities which will provide for room to grow in the years to come. It is also tremendous exposure for Omaha because of the international diversity of the individuals attending. I have enclosed a flyer for this year's workshop which will be presented as a retreat. Again, to re-emphasize, we hold our larger events away from our center. The only extra traffic generated throughout the year are at Christmas and Easter and when we have a reception for a Priest Ordination. This influx twice a year, sometimes three times, is not unlike other organizations in the area such as the Ponca Hills Fire Barn who hold a couple of large events per year such as the annual BBQ which generates music and excessive traffic which no one has a problem with whatsoever. Intercessors of the Lamb is funded through Donations Intercessors of the Lamb has been incorporated as a Non-profit in the state of Nebraska since February 1980. Enclosed is a copy of a recent certificate of good standing from the Secretary of State. We are a tax-exempt, 501 (c) (3) organization. Intercessors of the Lamb lives on donations freely given by individuals. Contrafy to the belief of some of our neighbors, most of our properties are mortgaged, not funded through suspicious donations. Individuals, who enter our community are not required to give anything whatsoever to the community. When a Hermit reaches the stage of Final Vows, they profess a Vow of Poverty, which means they • cannot own anything. This does not mean they are required to give it to Intercessors of the Lamb, and many don't. The lay people are also totally free regarding donations to the com- munity. I have known Mother Nadine for over 25 years and have worked here for ten years, and I have never once been asked to give any money or anything else to the community. We are asked to pray, not to give our assets. Our mail-order ministry currently also provides a small portion of income. This ministry consists of teaching tapes and books which are an extension of our ministry in teaching oth- ers to pray. There are also some apparel items which people like so they can be identified with our community. It was not a business we organized, but one which arose from the de- mand from our broader community members who wanted our teachings to be available. It took on a life of its own and has grown as we have grown. We maintain proper sales per- mits, (a copy of our Nebraska Sales permit is enclosed) and are a quarterly Form 10 Filer. Our Mail Order ministry has been brought up by our neighbors, so therefore I present this to you for review. Property Exemptions One of our neighbor's biggest issues is that we are exempt and have now exempted all of our properties. We have always exempted our two main properties at 4014 and 4110 North Post Road However; for the past ten years, we paid property taxes on our other parcels under the directive of our Board of Directors,for the sake of peace in the neighborhood As the bookkeeper, I personally wrote the checks this past year which totaled over $20,000.00. This past July, our Board directed that we apply for the exemptions which we have always been entitled to. We received the exemptions, and this past fall, Mr. Roger Morrissey and Mr. Keith Nielsen from the Douglas County Assessor's Office along with Cris Lustgarten, Douglas County Attorney personally came to our center and visited each property to see for themselves how each property was being used Our exemptions were on the agenda for the April 13th Board of Equalization meeting as a result of a request from SID 128 and the Ponca Hills Preservation Association. We still maintain our exemptions. As we have brought up in prior meetings during this process, our houses on North 40th are not part of the master plan as it is the intention to eventually bring the Hermits living in these houses onto our campus area as we are able. Also, on behalf of the Intercessors of the Lamb, I invite any of you who would like to come and see Bellwether to feel free to do so. The project can be seen in perspective when the property is visited. We will have a flag up by Tuesday afternoon on the spot where the pro- posed chapel is located. This can be viewed by going to the back yard of our 4110 North Post Road Property (the large Mediterranean house known as Bethany House) and looking toward your right on the slope. We hope some of you who haven't already, will come out and see before the hearing on June 22.

Besides institutes of consecrated life, the Church recognizes the f 1 eremitic or anchoritic life by which the Christian faithful devote their life to the Acpx 1 11 I praise of God and salvation of the world through a stricter separation from the `i t!• world, the silence of solitude and assiduous prayer and penance. AI \ 1- ,�_ ri_? nl § 2. A hermit is recognized in the law as one dedicated to God in a AVXLconsecrated life if he or she publicly professes the three evangelical counsels, .\ IJ _ i 411011 confirmed by a vow or other sacred bond, in the hands of the diocesan bishop - -. and observes his or her own plan of life under his direction. Commentary: Iiii ` 1 11 i i 11 °x The description of the eremetical life can be the norm in light of which all Arx 1 Ali hermits discern and carry out their vocation wherever they live it: in the desert, I!! the forests, the mountains or in the solitude of the modern city. Today, besides Ad\ 11.1▪ the public witness of the hermits through their abandonment of the world, I- ''!1 austerity of life, and external solitude, there are also hermits who remain in the ▪ world, live in reserve, supporting themselves by common manual labor. They ;1- - 11111 are almost unknown, and in their cities they pray and work to the praise of AdrirN God andfor the salvation ofthe world.. some, even, live in a laura or colon ' 1111i ( colony of hermits) under the direction of a spiritual director without being bound to the AIM same rule or institute and without constituting a community.
