Crossroads Church

If you regularly attend Crossroads Church – you’ve probably noticed that the church is growing. It’s an exciting time as we observe God working in so many people’s lives! But it’s also evident our facilities are no longer sufficient to accommodate the needs of our fellowship. Anticipating this situation, church leadership initiated the process of developing a master site plan for Crossroads Church. We’re pleased to report that we have completed this plan and are ready to submit it to Nevada County for review/approval.

The plan is designed to be implemented in three phases.

PHASE ONE primarily addresses infrastructure issues including site grading/excavation, expansion of the parking lot, addition of pedestrian walkways and outdoor gathering places, and upgrading of water system.

PHASE TWO includes most of the major construction and renovation of the current facilities. Completion of the parking and traffic system is also included in this phase.

PHASE THREE involves the addition of a gymnasium to the complex.

Each phase of the plan has been purposefully designed to stand alone as a completed project. When Phase One is finished, the most pressing issues currently facing the church (parking and water service) will have been addressed. At that point, the feasibility of moving on to Phase Two will then be evaluated and determined.

The following Q&A presents the main facts and features involved in Phase One. If you have any other questions about the project, please contact Tim Weeks at tim@crossroadslive.com.

Q		How many parking spaces will the church have when this phase is completed?
A		PARKING SPACES will be increased from 228 (current) to 416 plus an overflow gravel parking lot.

Q		What infrastructure issues are included in this phase?
A	• • • • •	Several… GRADING/EXCAVATION will move approximately 24,000 cubic yards of dirt!. ADDITIONAL DRIVE AISLES AND PARKING SPACES will result in approximately 90,000 square feet of new asphalt being added to the parking lot. Approximately 1800 SF of new SIDEWALK will be installed. The church’s domestic water needs are currently being serviced by a ¾ inch water line. Upgrading the churches WATER SERVICE will provide the ability to properly service all the site’s current and future domestic water needs. LANDSCAPING will feature 431 new trees!

Q		Is there a time schedule for this phase?
A	• •	Yes… We recently completed the PRE-APPLICATION process with Nevada County and are moving toward filing an official CONSTRUCTION APPLICATION before the end of November. Pending approval, our desired CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE is to break ground in late spring or early summer 2009 and complete the project by late fall 2009.

Q		How much will this phase cost to complete?
