2001 North Aldine Street Aoseville, Minnesota 55113 April 19, 1993 TO: Mayor Vern Johnson and Council Members Joanne Cushman, Dean Maschke, John Goedeke, and Pat Johnson Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: We have signed a petition asking the Aoseville City Council to deny the Special Use Permit requested by Patricia Curtiss to run a beauty shop in her home at 1987 Aldine Street. We feel that this sDrt of home business is entirely out of keeping with the character of our neighborhood. This is a quiet, stable, entirely residential area, which was the main consideration when we bought our home 23 years ago. We have IDved living here and have had a minimum of traffic problems, vandalism, and crime, even though commercial areas seem to get ever closer and more densely concentrated. We do not want the changes that will surely result from customers coming and going to a home business, bringing strangers into our area, so we will no longer know who belongs here. We are also most concerned about setting a precedent. If this permit is granted, what is there to prevent three or more on every block? There is nothing personal in these objections. We feel that since Patricia Curtiss has already said she will have in-home baby care, there is no reason that she could not work in one of the numerous beauty shops in the area, and perhaps later on rent commercial space nearby for her own shop, if that is her career goal. We are also concerned about the future of Aoseville. How can we retain stable homeDwners and businesses without a guarantee of residential neighborhood integrity. It never Dccurred to us, for example, that we would ever have to face a problem like this in our neighborhood. We will be out of town at the time of the Council Meeting, but we hope you will take our considerations into account and urge VERY STRONGLY that this Special Use Permit be denied. Sincerely yours, ~ () ~ NU1A, Alfred o. C. Nier /, . (' lA....-t" ~ II!~ Nier Ardis H.
