You don't often get email from irishrok@comcast.net. Learn why this is important
Dear Mr. Jordan,
We are writing to express our strong support for the rezoning of Goodwin Manor, the property located on Garrison Road, to allow for occasional charity events, lunch and dinner experiences,
and garden tours hosted by Chef Jennifer Maune, who will primarily use the home as a residence for their family of 8.
There are already Event Venues, PCD’s, and Agricultural and Foresty zoned properties located all around the area and at the entrance to the neighborhood in close proximity to neighbors.
Rezoning Goodwin Manor would follow the precedent that has already been set.
As a resident with our home in close proximity to Goodwin Manor, we believe this rezoning would be a significant benefit to our community, offering great value and provide a platform
for positive community involvement. We have attended many events at Goodwin Manor over the last 6 years, 1 hosted by Ms. Maune, and they have all been respectful,
tasteful events. This beautiful property and Ms. Maune are the epitome of charity and quality.
Ms. Maune plans to offer well-run, meaningful gatherings that benefit charitable causes and promote a sense of belonging in western Pulaski County. These opportunities would bring our
community together for enjoyable experiences while fostering cultural and educational development.
We are certain that Ms. Maune will approach these events with great care and consideration for the surrounding residents. Based on past events and our personal knowledge of Jennifer’s
character and family, we have no doubt she will take appropriate measures to ensure minimal noise and traffic. We understand the importance of preserving the character of our community,
and believe that Ms. Maune's proposal strikes a balance between community engagement and maintaining the peace and quiet that we all value.
We urge you to approve the rezoning request for this property. It is a unique opportunity to support a valuable member of our community and enhance the quality of life in our neighborhood. I
believe the Planning Commission's approval of this request would be a positive step toward fostering both charity and community engagement in a thoughtful and responsible manner.
Sincerely,
Kent & Rita Stone
