Area Board of Zoning Appeals—December 5, 2012 <br /> trying to run down the neighborhood but promote it more and take this dilapidated building that's sitting on <br /> the edge of their neighborhood and bring something great to it and something they can be proud of also. So 1 <br /> have looked at other properties. I feel this one for what I'm trying to do,with everything I'm trying to do, <br /> offers the space, offers the location, and will facilitate everything I have planned for it for the future. <br /> MR. URBANSKI: I have a question. You said that being able to be on Mishawaka Avenue and easy access, <br /> somebody had said earlier if you're coming east, I guess it would be southeast on Mishawaka Avenue, isn't <br /> there in the center of the road concrete or...? <br /> MR. WINDT: Yes, yes. You have to do a turnaround down the block or you have to come from one <br /> direction or another. In the future I was planning on looking into the possibility of having, not necessarily <br /> that taken away but even just an opening cut where you turn into the building right there but also still keep <br /> the partition in place. <br /> MR. HAWLEY: Gabriel, forgive me, maybe this flew over my head, what do you right now, where do you <br /> work? <br /> MR. WINDT: Currently I'm working in construction. I was working at a tattoo studio formally known as <br /> Point Blank Tattoo &Body Piercing which was very respected in the area. And then became Stillhouse <br /> Tattoo &Body Piercing. I had personal differences with the owners there. Just a conflict of interest so I <br /> chose to leave and seek out my own endeavors. That's why I'm here before you today because I'd like to <br /> start my own tattoo studio and also grow beyond just the idea of a tattoo studio or tattoo parlor. I want to be <br /> snore. I want to showcase all of my talents in art. I've been a graphic designer for half my life, for 15 years. <br /> I've owned my own computer business when I was 19 years old in Bay City, Michigan, called Tri City PC <br /> Solutions. I got into tattooing because it was a chance for me to make a living doing what I love to do every <br /> day. I love to draw. I love to create art and people and my experiences with people and having those <br /> personal relationships with my clients and in the community meeting the different person every day and <br /> discovering how you can touch their life with artwork that you do for them. I do portraits for people that <br /> have lost loved ones. That gives them closure to the fact that they've lost their loved one. Their pets, breast <br /> cancer awareness,the list goes on of the emotional impact I have on peoples lives. And I think that's <br /> overlooked and forgotten about because the negative stigma that's attached to tattooing. But what about the <br /> positivity that it brings to peoples lives. What about the impact that we have to snake people feel good about <br /> themselves or give them closure or anything that touches their life in a positive way. <br /> MR. BULOT: There was reference made earlier about the 500 foot separation from any religious use or any <br /> public or parochial school between grades K thru 12. In looking at one of these photographs of the site,to <br /> the east along Mishawaka Blvd., there appears to be on the building it says Revival Ministry Center. Is that a <br /> former sign or is it currently being used? <br /> MR. WINDT: I think it's a former sign because when I went to the Building Department with my <br /> paperwork I asked them about the building itself. They told me to look into it as deep as I could, and I tried <br /> to, the facility is never open and I pecked into the windows and there's just stuff piled up in there. It doesn't <br /> look like it's in use. So I felt comfortable with the idea. I felt comfortable with the idea that perhaps it's just <br /> 49 <br />
