Attn: Mr. Brian Minyard, Planner II
8/7/98
Dear Mr. Minyard:
As per our conversation at the Planning & Rezoning Meeting on 8/6/98,
there has been a change in the type of structure that I want to erect on
Tract "D" of the Land Use Flan Amendment (LU98-15-03) on Johnson Lane (East
of Hienke Road in the Geyer Springs West District.) I no longer wish to
build a "mini -storage facility" on that property, and now want to construct
a "woodworking shop & store" which will be known ass YARD NOTIONS, INC.
Attached, you will see an impromptu drawing of the proposed building.
The dotted lines on the East end of the structure is what I call an
"expansion area" in case I someday want to build a small apartment for
myself to live in.
�lso attached, you will find a few pictures of some of the items I plan
to wild in the shop and sell in the store.
Be advised that I no longer wish the area to be rezoned into a Service &
Trades District, but I am unable to determine precisely what category the
new proposal should be called. Possibly, it should,.be a Cottage Industry,
since I may live there someday, and since I only live 100 yards from the
proposed site. I just don't know, but I will work with you on this determin-
ation and try to come up with a proper land use designation.
Will you please send a copy of this letter and the attachments to those
people who have expressed opposition to my former mini -storage plans? I
think my new idea will be more pleasing to them. Everyone loves lawn orna-
ments, and that is the entire idea of my new shop plans. I will specialize
in building - entirely out of wood - projects such as: birdhouses, butterfly
houses, windmills, wishing wells, planters of all sizes and shapes, and a
new product called "shadows" which are simply black silhouettes of various
animals and figures. These products will be professionally made and priced
resonably for resale. I will be the only employee at the shop until I get
an inventory built, but at some later date, I may wish to employ one helper
and one storekeeper7salesperson.
I sincerely hope you will help me get my new plan approved. I am out of
work at the present time because I have a number of disabilities, including
asbestosis, which prevent me from doing the kind of work I was trained for
early in life, which is Boilermaker Welding and Pipefitting. But I am
an excellent carpenter and woodcraftsman and believe I can support myself and
my aging mother with my new plans.
Thank you for your continuing support in my endeavors.
S3 er ly Yours,
L. Jone
