MR. WESAW: Okay. Thank you. I forgot to give you our address. Our building is located at 58620 Sink <br /> Road, Dowagiac,Michigan. So.the Special Exception use we're asking for is for government use. It would be <br /> a satellite office to our main campus which is in Dowagiac. We would estimate that our Indiana office in <br /> Mishawaka right now we have about 20 customers a month. We do have a high concentration of Pokagon <br /> citizens in the South Bend area, northern Indiana, about 500 so we think that our data would show that we <br /> would probably triple that. So we would like to see probably 60 to 90 citizens we would serve a month in our <br /> building. Some of the services we would provide are tutoring for our young students. Enrollment into our <br /> programs, our education programs, housing, financial empowerment and social services. All the parking is in <br /> the back. We have enough parking spaces for about 9 vehicles and we think that would be sufficient. There <br /> will be no improvements or construction to modify the exterior of the house. We take into great consideration <br /> to make sure that the exterior was preserved and also matches what you guys have in the district. <br /> MR. CRUMLISH: The structure is currently a residence? <br /> MR. WESAW: Yes sir. <br /> MR. URBANSKI: Is it occupied at the present time? <br /> MR. WESAW: No sir. We would have one full time employee. <br /> MR. PHIPPS: Are you putting in a new parking area? <br /> MR. WESAW: No sir. The parking and the driveway that are currently with the structure is probably going to <br /> be sufficient for our use at this time. <br /> MR. PHIPPS: The staff has some pictures of the parking behind the building but at least from the drawing <br /> that's where it is. You aren't planning on putting any parking in front of the building? <br /> MR. WESAW: No sir. I think it would be good flow and it would keep the vehicles off the road and a good <br /> location for it. <br /> MR. HAWLEY: Is anyone living on the property on a daily basis through the evening and the night time? <br /> MR. WESAW: No sir. The office hours would be 8-5 on Monday through Friday and we would be closed on <br /> holidays. <br /> MR. YOUNG: Do you have any type of proposed signage? <br /> MR. WESAW: We would like to put some signage up. Of course we would want to make sure that is in <br /> accordance with your regulations. <br /> MR. YOUNG: And the other structures behind the house,they're all going to stay? <br /> 29 <br />
