Area Board of Zoning Appeals—December 5, 2012 <br /> And my last note, as my wife had mentioned, I asked the Board to show to relevance this business is being <br /> advertised at this address already. Thanks guys. <br /> MR. JOHN VONLACKUM: For the last l I years I have lived at 1116 E. Bronson Street. That is right on <br /> the alley between Jefferson a half a block away and this location a half a block the other way. And we have <br /> just seen morning and evening a lots of school kids walking through there on their way to school. And I'm <br /> wondering about their safety and how will this interfere with that or will it interfere with the save passage of <br /> kids in our neighborhood. That's it. <br /> MS. MARY WATERSON: I'm at 1139 E. Bronson. And my husband and I have lived there for over 40 <br /> years. In fact if he didn't have the flu he'd be here today. And we are totally against having a tattoo parlor <br /> in our neighborhood. I canvassed the neighbors on Bronson Street and the ones that happened to be home <br /> when I came, all signed the petition. I frankly believe that building, the filling station, that needs to be torn <br /> down. It's in bad shape and there, if you're coming from the north there's no access on Mishawaka Ave. <br /> You're going to have to go down Belmont or Bronson through the alley to get to the tattoo parlor. And as <br /> these other people have pointed out Jefferson School is right there. The children walk down these streets to <br /> get to school and there's the church there on the corner of Bronson and Belmont and so I just want to say that <br /> I am totally against having a tattoo, piercing and this is a residential area with lots of young children. <br /> MR. URBANSKI: Thank you ma'am. <br /> MS. JO ANNE DETLEF: I live at 1129 Belmont. My husband and I moved in there about 44 years ago, I <br /> think. We are the third owners of our house. As I've looked around at the houses around my house,which is <br /> at the end of the block close to the 1107 Mishawaka Ave. property, I can say that in this 85 year old <br /> neighborhood most of the houses have had about 3 owners. At most five. We're an established <br /> neighborhood. We're families that move in with small children or no children,raise our children there and <br /> our children come back with grandchildren. So my neighbors who aren't young like Josh and Rachel who <br /> are here with their three children today have their grandchildren visiting, And it's not just, not just the seven <br /> children very close,we have about 15 young children within the 600'radius that was notified. And no one <br /> has said anything either about the Newman Center which is directly across Mishawaka Ave. from this <br /> property. And the number of children there and children that go there alone. I called the Health Department <br /> because I'm very much concerned about health issues and body piercing and tattoo. And I had gone on the <br /> State Health Departments web site to see what the standards are, so I read those and was rather horrified <br /> when I saw that tattoo parlors are major source for spreading Hepatitis B primarily. There is a vaccine for <br /> that. But also Hepatitis C and HIV for which you all know there is no vaccine. I called the Health <br /> Department local County Health Department this morning to ask how often inspections occur. They said <br /> "once a year." Once a year, handling hazardous products. And then I said, "what kind of requirements are <br /> there to be a tattoo administrator, body piercer"? They told me they have to pass a test to show that they're <br /> Hepatitis free, HIV free, STD free and a couple of other things. And I said "how often do they have to have <br /> that test"? I said "is that required, does it have to be repeated once a year at least"? They said"no". Well I <br /> was astounded because we all know, if you listen to the news, you've heard national health officials saying <br /> probably a third of our boomer and younger generation are caring Hepatitis in some form unknown to them <br /> and they're urging all of them to be tested for it, Well once a year testing or testing inspection when virus <br /> 45 <br />
