Home occupation, 3838 23rd Court East

Presented a neighborhood petition against the home salon, citing zoning compliance, traffic safety for children and pets, and preserving the quiet residential character of Parkside.

A 54-year Parkside resident speaking in support; noted the applicant grew up in the house, holds a state cosmetology license, and that other businesses already exist in the neighborhood.

Lives directly across the street; described visitor cars turning around in his driveway, lost privacy on his patio, and said he is vehemently against the business.

Asked the board to honor the neighborhood covenant forbidding businesses.

The property owner and applicant's grandmother; said she has lived there 50 years, raised six children there, and never had complaints or problems with neighbors.

The longest-serving Parkside resident at 56 years; said the neighborhood has changed and already has real traffic problems, and opposes business rezoning there.

Spoke in support, saying the business won't worsen neighborhood problems and asking the board not to hinder the applicant's chance to build her own business.
