Area Board of Zoning Appeals—December 5, 2012 <br /> Why? Because they felt that this was negative for the community and onlookers in general. Yes, tattooing <br /> and body piercing is a totally different business, but it still unfortunately conveys negative aspects. Like the <br /> strip club industry, the tattoo and body piercing industry also uses art as a descriptive as to what is being <br /> rendered. Even though this is true to a certain degree, both industries also embrace and reinforce the erotic. <br /> As I stated before, I do not have qualms with the new potential owner, only a qualm with the choice of his <br /> potential business location.Nestling his business on the edge of a residential area is not a positive or <br /> reciprocal fit. I would strongly urge and encourage him to seek out a new area that would be better suited for <br /> his future establishment. Such as a highly commercial non-residential area or maybe even a strip mall type <br /> of setting. Thank you. <br /> MR. URBANSKI: Thank you sir. <br /> MS. BARBARA LEE: I own a rental property located at 706 S. Eddy Street. Actually it's right next door to <br /> Andrew's residence,who just spoke. It's an executive rental that I have there and I've owned it for I think <br /> about 18 years. The reason I wanted to address this group today is, in the 50's I believe, or the 60's, before I <br /> had lived in this area, Eddy Street where my executive rental is located had a street. And right now there are <br /> some 12 or so houses there that do not have a front street. We have a ramp for a street and so the alley is the <br /> only way to access these homes. For us to access the neighborhood to get to our homes there or properties, <br /> very often people will actually come to that alley way by way of Mishawaka Ave. and quite frankly right <br /> through their parking lot which in my opinion that building should have been torn down a long time ago. We <br /> have no parking, none whatsoever for anybody that comes to visit any of these homes on this ramp so that <br /> parking lot often times get used for company to park. We have no where to park, no where. These are nice <br /> homes. They are not small homes that would address small families with one or two cars. They might have <br /> more than one or two cars. And then their guests, their friends, or whoever may come by,there's no where <br /> to park. No where. So I would like to propose that that building just be torn down and looked at as a <br /> parking area for the residents in that area which it what it has been. Thank you. <br /> MR. URBANSKI: Thank you very much. Anyone else wishing to speak in opposition to? <br /> MS. JULIE IGAZ: I live at 1114 Belmont. Pretty much everything has been said against this so far. I just <br /> want to state that I'm the property that's 58' next to 1107 Mishawaka Ave. and I'm very much against having <br /> a piercing and tattoo parlor there. Thank you. <br /> MR. URBANSKI: Thank you ma'am. I do have two letters basically speaking very much about being <br /> against it. One is from Brian Hardin and the other one is Jim Brenay and both of them speak very negative <br /> about and do not want it. Gentlemen would you like to come up and respond to the comments that have been <br /> made for the last 45 minutes? <br /> REBUTTAL: <br /> MR. WINDT: I understand everyone's concerns. I'm a father also. I have a 3 year old son. We live in a <br /> neighborhood right now,the Near Northwest Neighborhood,that is seen darker times in it's history with <br /> criminal activity and I understand the concern of having something in your neighborhood that you're <br /> 47 <br />
