Zoning. <br /> The attachment to this email starts out with a letter that I had written and is dated July 31, 1998. This letter was <br /> submitted along with the application, fee, and the requested information for our home occupancy permit. The <br /> application and request was made before we moved our business to Marty Drive so to assure that all paperwork <br /> was done ahead of time and would be ready. An inspection was made after we moved. <br /> Unfortunately over the next year after our permit was issued, we received a series of 3 letters stating that we <br /> needed to terminate our home business due to non compliance. The first 2 times, we replied with a copy of our <br /> permit and application. After the 3rd note dated August 26, 1999, I made a batch of cookies and delivered them <br /> to the zoning office with a copy of our permit issued 1 year earlier. We are assuming that each time <br /> someone looked up our information, they spelled our name and couldn't find our permit information on file - <br /> therefore issuing a letter. Because we do not have a large amount of foot traffic, we are assuming that we were <br /> not being reported by our new neighbors. <br /> Because we try to be complete in our records as well as life and business practices, these letters were quite <br /> disturbing as well as time consuming in making copies and trying to rectify the miscommunication. Although we <br /> will not need to apply for a sign permit or home occupancy permit as you had said today, we will make sure that <br /> you are notified if it is in our plans to home/business occupy at Gaston Road and that an inspection can be made <br /> before occupancy. <br /> It is our fullest intention with our Gaston Rd. house project, that we keep in full compliance with all papers, zoning, <br /> permits, inspections, etc. and would like your assistance in letting us know if there is anything further that you <br /> need from us at this time. I realize that I had made that request in my last email, however feel it best to reiterate <br /> and obtain any responses for our records. <br /> Our highlighted records state that we will need to call for an inspection after the footings are poured. Tomorrow, <br /> November 10, 2009 Jon has plans to start pouring footings. We will call as soon as they are ready to be <br /> inspected. In the meantime, please let us know if there is any further information you will need. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Toni Skala <br /> 4748 Marty Dr <br /> Cottage Grove, WI 53527 <br /> (608)839-1700 <br /> 11/16/2009 <br />
