The building will contain a chapel seating up to 150 persons for Sunday evening liturgy and other occasional special worship services, a gathering space and lounge for students with seating for up to approximately 30 students, and offices for up to four full- time staff. The site is also designed to feature a landscaped "prayer garden" in the northeast corner that will be screened from the adjacent parking lots to provide a place suitable for private meditation. The existing use of the property is residential. The existing buildings, formerly two single-family houses and a garage, all constructed of wood frame and all of which had been converted to student housing, will be demolished to allow construction of the new ministry center. The new ministry center is designed to accommodate up to 150 persons for weekly Sunday evening worship services during the school year (approximately September - May), seating for about 30 students in a "student lounge" atmosphere seven days a week except Sunday evenings, and up to four full-time employees. The building is planned to be one-story with partial basement for long-term storage only. The gross area of the first floor will be about 5,670 square feet, and the basement is planned to .measure' about 1,485 square feet. The entire site measures about 11, 584 square feet (or 0.27 acre). The prayer garden will be more than 1,800 square feet in area. Other landscaped areas around the building will total an additional.1, 100 square feet, approximately. No parking spaces are provided on the property. A parking agreement with the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh allows full use of the adjacent parking lot on Sunday evenings and provides four (4) permanently designated parking spaces for employees and (2) passes for visitors' parking during the remainder of the week. Please see the attached e-mail describing terms of this parking agreement. Conditional Use Narrative Oshkosh Newman Center October 16, 2006 Page 2 There is anticipated to be no negative impacts of this use upon the adjacent property, which is a dedicated parking lot for the university. This proposed use is compatible with the immediate adjoining property (the parking lot) and is designed to serve the needs of students living in nearby campus dormitories. Most of the students served are expected to arrive to the site from their dorms or classrooms on foot. The only measurable vehicular traffic anticipated will be generated on Sunday evenings before and after the regularly scheduled worship services. The number' of vehicles in use at this time is conservatively estimated not to exceed thirty (30).
