As you <br />know, I have been honest and straightforward concerning the size of my business _ it is small, but <br />does not conform to the code which has apparently been in place since the 1950's. My business <br />does not not need more space. We have a large house approximately 2100 square feet upstairs _ <br />and 2100 square feet down stairs. My husband and I now live here alone, so we have plenty of <br />room for my business on our lower level. So I am looking for your help and advise to keep it <br />here for the next few years. We are nearing retirement age and I expect to sell it within 5 years, <br />perhaps much sooner, but the l1(me-year "permit really doesn't suit the situation. <br /> <br />Moreover, this is such an unfair, discriminatory situation, I really want to help you change this <br />code - for my business, but also for many others who might have a jealous competitor call you <br />and "report them". It may be difficult to imagine the extreme frustration, sleepless nights and <br />just plain sadness that I and my husband have endured since your first letter. Although it was <br />surely not your intent to make us feel this way, we did. We felt like we were breaking the law, <br />going against a city and neighborhood that we have lived in and loved for 30 years. Now we feel <br />like "big brother is watching", as we come and go with out own three vehicles, or when our <br />children come to see us. <br /> <br />We have employed many people from RoseviIIe and nearby communities in our various start-up <br />businesses over the years including part-time stay-at-home Moms, while there children were in <br />school - and many teens who would tell you today that we helped them so much during their <br />difficult years. We were involved with Ramsey and Kellogg in their "learning to do business <br />type programs". Two of our businesses started here in the '70's are still thriving in commercial <br /> <br />Publishing The Wedding Guide <br /> <br />951 County Road C-2 West · Roseville, MN 55113 .
