RE: Public Notice for application for a Special Home Occupation Permit—4630 Twain St.
I received your notice of a public hearing, being a farmer, it is uncertain whether I will be able to make
the public meeting, so I am writing you to express my extreme opposition to this permit. Not only am I
completely terrified of snake, but as my mother, a realtor and real estate appraiser, pointed out the
allowance of such a permit would have a substantial negative impact on the value and marketability of
my property.
If this permit is allowed to go through, and I am now aware of the situation, I would have to disclose
such a fact to any potential buyer. My fear of reptiles is the norm, not the exception, and as such most
buyers would be turned off by this fact as well.
I urge you to turn down Mr. Kyle Thompson's request for a Special Home Occupant Permit.
Thank you, �-
