Attachments: Major Home_Occupation_Clearance.pdf
Good afternoon Ms. Sharp,
In reviewing your home occupation clearance application form this afternoon, I mistakenly approved your home
occupation as a minor when it actually should have been a major home occupation due to the fact that students come
to your home to receive lessons. I apologize for this oversight on my part. Unfortunately, this means we need you to fill
out the attached clearance form. The fee is the same, so you can fill out the form and email it to Rebecca Ragsdale,
copied above, to avoid having to come in again. Just so you are aware, the review of a major home occupation clearance
requires providing notice to abutting neighbors, so once we receive your completed application, it will take a week or
two for staff to review and approve it.
Sorry again for the inconvenience. Please contact Rebecca if you have any questions
Sincerely,
Amanda Burbage LEER GREEN AssocfATE
