, ., The Emily Program has requested a conditional use is ermit (CUP) and associated variances fo -profit, tin disorder facilityin a to locate a 24-hour/seven days-a-week, in-patient, eating neighborhood zoned primarily for residential use. any neighbors surrounding the former Hill School are opposed to the proposed zoning cha .es for many reasons, including traffic excesses and the associated safety issues; parking inade•uacies; all-night lighting, noise and the higher volume of business activity; increased emergenc, responses; and decreased property values. Most importantly of concern is the permanency •f the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) which stays with the property and is not granted to an o ner, and the clear possibility that the zoning changes will open the door to other medical/tre ment facilities of any kind, which could move in when the Emily Program leaves. As neighbors in close proximity to the former Hull School, we are keenly aware of preserving the distinct rural land use patterns and lifestyles and we recognize that allowing a P.4 o rye facility will significantly alter the land-use, the character, and the lifestyles of the neighborhood. What is not on the agenda tonight is: What is t best use of the former Hill School by ne4brrs --7 property going forward? Many ideas are being discussed, the Eely Program is not the only option. We have already heard from neighbors who have pledged financial support and whatever else is necessary to find an appropriate use for this property.
