RE: Property Use at 3714 South Duff Avenue CITY OF AMES,IOWA
Dear Mr. Pitts:
Thanks for calling yesterday to notify us that you have moved your lawn and tree service equipment off-site to a
storage building. You stated that the only business activity at your home would be the scheduling of
appointments.
To re-cap our phone conversation today,you have withdrawn your application for a Special Home Occupation
Permit and will submit an application for a Permitted Home Occupation by January 6,2012.This means
that your application has been removed from the January 11, 2012, Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting
agenda.You stated that the only equipment on-site would be your personal truck with an attached snowplow,but
that the snowplow would be stored off-site during the summer. You also stated that all the signs have been
removed from the property, and that there will be no employees coming to your residence.
We will mail the refunded$100.00 application fee to you after it is processed.Enclosed is the application form
for the Permitted Home Occupation. A$20.00 application fee is required at submittal. Once the application is
received, we will promptly review it administratively(without a public hearing).
Thank you so much for working with us through this process.Let us know if you have any additional questions
with this process.
