WESTFIELD — Planning board members expressed aesthetic and traffic concerns this week with a proposed expansion of the Russian Evangelical Baptist Church.
Rebecca Lee of R. Levesque Associates, representing applicant Andrey Korchevskiy, said at the Dec. 19 meeting that the church is proposing a 6,750-square foot, two-story, metal Butler Manufacturing building north of the existing church building at 866 North Road, in a strip along Lapointe Road. The building would host classrooms and office space for the church’s Sunday School. The Russian Evangelical Baptist Church already runs a K-8 academy in the church building.
