, ii (PI Z 1) Land Use-An Undesirable Medical/Treatment acility Could Move In The Hill School property is currently zoned to be a sch of or church. The city would need to grant a Conditional Use Permit(CUP) allowing hospit 1-type facilities in order for the Emily Program to operate there. If the CUP is granted for th Emily Program and they decide to leave the property, another hospital-type facility could move in. This opens up the possibility of businesses which would be even less friendly to their r sidential neighbors. Dr. Miller downplayed this probability at the last City Council m eting, but in fact, the Emily Program is actually in the process of closing (or has just closed as bf March 2010)their Chaska location after just four years of their operation of it(the Chaskasite opened independently as the Anna Westin house in 2002,but merged with the Emily Pro am in 2006) - so what's to stop it from happening in Orono? In an attempt to alleviate this concern, the Emily Progr has offered to petition the City Council to revoke their conditional use permit(CUP) i they ever leave the property. While this seems like a very gracious offer by the Emily Program the CUP is not legally theirs to surrender —it stays with the property. 2) Increased activity, traffic, parking, lighting, eme gency vehicles The Emily Program will house 10 patients, associated dministrators and treatment providers, visitors, and some out-patients. There will be increase traffic, parking and lighting as well as increased emergency vehicle calls to the location whic is an already on a very small property lot on a narrow street (Briar). The Emily Program operat s another in-patient facility in Chaska for which we have obtained police records. These records indicate many emergency dispatches to the Emily Program site for reasons including medical, uicide threats/attempts and missing persons. Emily officials say they have never encountered such i tense opposition, but they fail to acknowledge that their other clinics are all located in n ighborhoods with a mix of business and residential property—including their new St. Paul loca ion on Cleveland Avenue. Dr. Miller describes the new St. Paul location as "probably more o f a neighborhood than Orono." While there are many homes in that neighborhood, it is a mu I more urban setting than the Orono location. It is directly across the street from the U of 1 campus, across from Lori's Coffee Shop and Mim's Café and down the street from several Coll,ge Fraternity Houses. Additionally, according to neighbors, many students rent homes alo g Cleveland Avenue and there is already significant traffic as well as on-street parking. It seem. unlikely that the Emily Program will significantly impact the overall activity level, traffic . • parking already in that neighborhood, so it's not surprising that there is little neighborhood o',position. To be clear,the non-profit Minnetonka Center for the Arts is adjacent to the Hill chool and three blocks away on Brown Road is the very small Crystal Bay Post Office; howev-r, both operate essentially Monday through Friday, 9-to-5 hours without the traffic,parkin., lighting, or emergency vehicle issues, and both together don't come close to constituting a" i ixed-use"zone.
