We believe that their proposed <br /> use as a treatment center for alcoholic women and their children <br /> has a number of benefits for the Yahara Center' s neighbors and <br /> our community. <br /> Our neighbors would benefit from a significant reduction in the <br /> traffic generated by the building. In its current configuration <br /> as a conference center, the Yahara Center has the capacity to <br /> sleep 146 people overnight and provide meeting accommodations <br /> for 225 people. The WCSN proposal would reduce the number of <br /> beds to 56 , a reduction of 90 beds , with an even greater <br /> reduction in the potential use of the meeting facilities. As a <br /> result of these changes , our neighbors will see a substantial <br /> decrease in the amount of vehicle traffic making trips to and <br /> from the Center. <br /> We also believe that the proposal is an excellent use of the <br /> facility from both a physical and community perspective. The <br /> WCSN proposal would require only minimal remodeling of the <br /> existing office space and bedrooms . We also believe that there <br /> is a great need in our community for this type of facility, <br /> especially one that specifically meets the needs of women and <br /> children. While we wish that circumstances would permit us to <br /> continue to operate the Yahara Center as a Christian conference <br /> center, we are very happy that our facility can be made <br /> available for this type of use. <br /> We hope that the proposed conditional use permit receives your <br /> support. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> f <br /> MAY <br /> St-ve Yot' g 11 1992 <br /> Vice-Pre ide and Treasurer <br /> RECEIVED <br /> 2QNING DIV. <br />
