existing facility will require minor modifications. All sources of financing <br /> have been secured, and WCSN's lease arrangement and progress with <br /> licensing and building modifications are all contingent upon approval of the <br /> conditional use permit. <br /> WCSN's proposed women specific treatment program and the day care center <br /> are ideally suited for the Yahara Center in that they are consistent with the <br /> established use of the center and the needs of the surrounding community. <br /> The Yahara Center is currently being used as a conference center which <br /> provides overnight accommodations and meal services for up to 240 persons. <br /> The Vennebu Center is offering residential rehabilitation treatment for up to <br /> 56 women with variable lengths of stay; the average stay ranging from 14- <br /> 28 days. The program will also offer day-treatment and intensive outpatient <br /> treatment services. The treatment atmosphere which is self-contained will <br /> consist of daily therapy sessions and evening lectures. <br /> To fulfill state licensing requirements, community advisory committees have <br /> been formed to provide a forum for communication for persons interested in <br /> the facility and to make recommendations regarding the impact of the <br /> facility on the neighborhood. The initial reception of the community to the <br /> Vennebu Center programs has been overwhelmingly favorable. <br /> The WCSN Foundation's proposed use of the Yahara Center property as the <br /> Vennebu Center is consistent in all respects with its current use. We <br /> respectfully request the Zoning Commission take action on this request for a <br /> conditional use permit at is public hearing scheduled on May 12, 1992. <br /> For the Foundation, <br /> K thleen M.
