Cornelius, 15231 Jaspar St. N.W. <br />Ms. Cornelius said she wanted_ to turn her 24' x 28'. garage into a gift <br />shop. She felt it would save _a lot of money for people who wouldn't have <br />to run down to Target or K -Mart. She said she would be selling gift items, <br />jewelry, toys, etc. The items would not be made in her home. <br />Chairman Peterson read a letter received from Michael and Sandra Schelkoph, <br />which stated that they hoped the council would reject Ms. Cornelius' request <br />because commercial establishments increase traffic and noise in the area, <br />bringing down property values and they felt allowing one person to operate <br />commercially in a residential area would spur more to do the same. <br />Ms. Cornelius noted the beauty shop that she attends in her neighborhood. <br />Chairman Peterson asked her how she would attract business. Also he <br />informed her that a sign has to be two (2) square feet. <br />Ms. Cornelius said she would attract business by word of mouth and ads. <br />Art Dunn asked her if she would be enlarging her garage or home for this <br />business. <br />Ms. Cornelius said she would not be enlarging her garage or home. <br />PUBLIC HEARING Page 1 10/7/80 <br />
