We ask you, as our elect d representatives, to focus on these facts: <br /> Background <br /> The Emily Program is a for-profit eating disorder in-patient/out-patient treatment facility. It <br /> has several locations throughout the Twin Cities and h.s been around for many years. Dr. Dirk <br /> Miller, the founder, has requested a conditional use permit (CUP) and associated variances <br /> to locate a 24/7, in-patient clinic in a neighborhood oned for residential use. The neighbors <br /> surrounding the former Hill School are opposed to he proposed zoning changes for many <br /> reasons, including traffic excesses and the associated safety issues; parking inadequacies; all- <br /> night lighting, noise and activity; increased emergency responses; decreased property values; <br /> and, even more important, the possibility that the zoni g changes will open the door to other <br /> medical/treatment facilities of any kind, which could ove in when the Emily Program leaves. <br /> 1 <br />
