The landscape near Willingham Road in Chuluota is that of trees, wildlife and open spaces.

Soon, however, it may include a more than 31,000-square-foot mega-church, which has some nearby residents upset.

“Chuluota is a town of 2,400 people with nine churches all within a couple miles of each other,” said Vicki Nelson, who has resided on Willingham Road for 20 years with her husband, Tait. “Our needs are served. This is not a religious issue, but about responsible urban planning and green space.

” The church was also originally met with disapproval when they were denied plans for a 12,000-square-foot building by the Seminole County Board of Adjustment. Two years later, the decision was appealed and the church was granted its current 7,800-square-foot building.

Three years after being built, the church is now planning an expansion that will more than triple its current size, leaving some in the area feeling misled. “This was a little church for a little congregation,” Tait Nelson said. “This was the picture they painted, but they lied and they had no intention of doing that.”

According to Seminole County Property Appraisal website, the church purchased an adjacent 4.98-acre parcel of land at 375 Willingham Road in February of this year, which includes a structure built in 1991 with a gross square footage of 3,300 feet, that the church wants to turn into an office. Early site plans for the expansion include this building, a 15,000-square-foot addition to the current church and a separate 5,000-square-foot school building, as well as a large parking lot encompassing the entire property.. For a grand total of 31,000 sq ft.

“For what they want to do, they’re in the wrong place,” Tait Nelson said. “There’s nothing wrong with them having their church. There’s nothing wrong with them expanding their congregation, but if that’s what your desires are, then you need to go some place where you’re not affecting and encroaching on other people’s rights, and then you can expand as far as you want to go.” Attempts made to reach Cornerstone Baptist Church for comments were unsuccessful.

Should the expansion be granted, residents of Lake Lenelle Drive and Willingham Road are concerned about the potential light and noise pollution and drainage issues the church will bring, Vicki Nelson said. Ultimately, Vicki and Tait Nelson want to preserve the rural lifestyle they have come to know and love. “We moved out here for a reason and chose not to live in a subdivision,” Vicki Nelson said. “How would the parishioners like it if we came to their yard every weekend by the hundreds making noise? “Their right to make noise ends with our ears.”

This will go to BOA on May 21 at 6pm at The Seminole County Service’s Building 1101 East First Street Sanford, FL 32771 (407) 665-0000

The CR 419 at Snow Hill Road Intersection improvement project provides increased capacity and safety improvements at this busy intersection.  Eastbound (EB) CR 419 will now have Dual Left turn lane onto Snow Hill road and there will also now be 2 EB through lanes.  For Southbound (SB) Snowhill Road there will now be an exclusive Right turn lane, a shared Thru-Right turn lane and an exclusive Left turn lane.  Additionally in order to accept the EB Dual Left an additional Northbound (NB) Snowhill lane will be added that will be approximately 1200’ long to provide an appropriate merge length for NB traffic.  Similarly on the Westbound (WB) approach to the intersection, we will add an extra EB acceptance lane that will match up with the two EB through lanes on CR 419.  The total length of this new lane on CR 419 including the taper will be approximately 1200’ long.
