Subject: RE: Home Occupation Special Use Permit - 790 Old Lynchburg Road
Andrew,
We met with the property owner and studio owner last night. Everything was very cordial and I expect we'll be able to
work out a solution with them to minimize the visual disturbance of cars driving up the old farm lane through
landscaping. Based on the described usage from the proposal and the restrictions on number of car trips and events, we
don't object to this specific request.
Based on my recollection of the 51h and Avon Community meeting, this is a rare request without recent precedent or
procedure. Accordingly, I would encourage the decision makers to strongly consider future applications of this permit as
could be applied to other properties and other uses when they are making their decision. The specific restrictions for
this request that apply to usage, frequency, and car trips are viewed positively by me. If the request is approved, this
concept could easily be used a precedent for more obtrusive structures that directly affect more people. Please convey
this general concern to Ms. Palmer and the rest of the Board of Supervisors, and let them know their constituents rely
on their ability to access current requests along with the future impact of approval of current requests.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the meeting due to another obligation, but I am available to answer any
questions if you have any.
Best,
Shawn

Subject: Home Occupation Special Use Permit - 790 Old Lynchburg Road
Hi Shawn,
We met at the 5th & Avon Community Advisory Committee meeting last Thursday. I spoke with Abby Kasonik (CCed), the
applicant for the Class B Home Occupation for an art studio at 790 Old Lynchburg Road on Friday, and she agreed to
provide her contact info so you could follow up with any questions regarding the proposed use.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Dear Mr. Knuppel:
Thank you for your kind letter informing me of the above -referenced petition to allow an art
studio at 790 Old Lynchburg Road as submitted by Abby Kasonik and Camille Price
Please know that as a property owner directly adjacent to the proposed studio I am completely
in favor of this proposal and request Commission approval. The studio would provide an
important service and represent a positive addition to the community.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
With every best wish,
