2009 Aldine Street Roseville, MN 55113 May 20, 1993 Mayor Vern Johnson and members of the Roseville City Council Roseville City Hall Roseville, MN 55113 Dear Mayor Johnson and City Council members: It is with a deep feeling of disappointment that I write this letter. There is no doubt in my mind that had our petition been circulated beyond the 350 foot area surrounding 1987 Aldine to include all of Woodside, Ridgewood and Mid Oaks, the percentage of those residents signing would have been consistent with the 82% who did sign the request that Patricia Curtiss' special use permit be denied. It is clear that a significant majority of homeowners in this neighborhood are opposed to the operation of a customer-based business in their residential area. There are reasons why we chose to purchase homes in this quiet, secluded section of Roseville, and we now feel vulnerable and unprotected. My neighbors expressed disappointment and frustration with what is perceived to be a disregard for our welfare. It seems that there will be enough votes for the City Council to approve the special use permit for Trish Curtiss to operate a beauty shop out of her home at 1987 Aldine. Mr. Bell has made it clear that limitations and conditions can be attached to the permit; I am requesting three limitations in addition to those previously agreed to by Trish. First: Of great concern is the fear that this permit will "run with the land" and we will be stuck with a beauty shop on the corner indefinitely. I implore you to attach a time limit to the permit. Trish Curtiss has expressed the desire to be given two years to make back her expenses incurred in purchasing this home and setting up her business shop in the basement. 1. * This is a request that the permit be granted for no longer than two years and that this time limit be specifically stated at the time of your vote.
