BOOK 109 PAGE 20 <br />I request that you consider carefully th.a effect this change to code would have in <br />any neighborhood, not just mine. To change it zoning law for the convenience of one <br />business owner who does not want to rent cot nmercial space down the road will <br />eventually affect numerous neighborhoods thraughout the county. <br />Thank you for considering my reques: not to change the code. <br />Sincerely, <br />Judith E.

His neighbor has a lawn service business as <br />does he himself. His own lawn business had grown and he rented a facility where he keeps <br />his equipment and has his employees report for work. His neighbor has employees coming <br />to the house. He argued against the PSAC and PZC recommendations, questioned some of <br />the logic used in arriving at those recommendations, and urged the Board to support staff's <br />recommendation. <br />Commissioner Tippin strongly favored staffs recommendation, that is, merely to <br />clarify the allowance and not expand it. <br />Commissioner Stanbridge agreed. <br />Commissioner Adams was concerned about over -legislation but she did not want to <br />have home businesses get out -of -hand. People had a right to do what they want on their <br />property "until they step on somebody else's toes." That is the difficult part. Out of 20 <br />licenses issued each year, only 1 results in a complaint. She did not agree with any of the <br />recommendations, but did not have an alternative to offer. <br />Commissioner Ginn thought more specifics needed to be developed as to what is <br />viewable from the street. She was concerned about, for an example, an architect who had <br />a client come to his residence once a week. She still thought staffs recommendation was <br />overly restrictive. <br />Paul McCarthy, 500 Eugenia, was concerned about the safety issue of having non- <br />resident employees come to a residential neighborhood and he wondered how it would be <br />possible to limit visits of clients. <br />April 19,1999 <br />18 <br />
