Friends of Mid-America Buddhist Association Oppose Helipad

Please consider relocating the helipad much farther away from MABA center as it is a haven for those seeking peace.

The visual and auditory impact of helicopters in this quiet and serene environment would be very detrimental to the mission of MABA and adversely effect a significant number of practitioners and visitors. Please discontinue this intrusive plan or at the least, find a location a more distant location.

Who in their right mind would put a helipad across the street from this Temple...not appropriate!!

No helipad!

No helipad!

Please do not take away the peace and silence in this area

NOT support for helicopter pad!

While I don't currently have personal access to a helicopter, nor any plans to do so, if this development will please go forward without a helipad, and anyone urgently needs a prioritized sober driver, please reach out to me personally at [email protected]. While it won't be at the speed of a helicopter, I plan for such transport to be expedient as I'm familiar driving in this area. Cheers!

Please don't allow a helipad so close to MABA. The peaceful surroundings of MABA are an important part of this spiritual retreat.

We enjoy visiting Augusta and MABA due to the serenity and peaceful nature of the area. Helicopters do not fit the quiet and peaceful character of the area, and would interfere with our enjoyment of the area. The noise would cause tremendous stress, and would even drive people away. The function of MABA as a spiritual retreat would be destroyed, and so would would the rural charm of Augusta and the surrounding area.

Helicopters would disrupt the peaceful and serene environment that is essential to MABA’s purpose. PLEASE reconsider the helicopter pad placement.

Please understand the nature of MABA and reconsider the placement of a heli-pad so near.

MABA is a sacred space and all people are fortunate for the work and practice done there. This requires an atmosphere of respect for the world and quiet. A helipad would be destructive to the beneficial purposes of MABA and the surrounding areas. Thank you, Beth Jacobs

Under their religious rights and beliefs please consider moving to another area so that these folks can continue their path in peaceful surroundings. Thank you

Given the zoning ordinance, such a compelling case not to permit the helipad!

Please leave our temple in peace, by not placing a helipad across the street.

I am all for the development that is going on in Augusta. It is important that the developers respect the existing neighbors and MABA requires silence to fulfill its goals and it’s purpose.

Please consider this; MABA is such a peaceful place and a helipad would be greatly disruptive.

We strongly urge denial of the CUP21-15 application

The helicopter pad would totally change the character of the area. Please do not grant the permit
