<br />Page 2 of2 8D <br />Page 29 <br /> <br />I welcome new neighbors, particularly the kind that actually spend time in our neighborhood getting to <br />know one another, making our community a safer and more pleasant place to live. Employees and <br />patrons of a massage parlor COIning and going through the neighborhood at all hours of the day and a <br />good chunk of the night, dontt fit that description. Children throughout our neighborhood regularly play <br />relatively safely on the sidewalks and even in the streets (certainly true on my street, Northumberland <br />Ave). While I dontt know all the children or families in the neighborhood, I recognize them and know to <br />exercise caution especially in certain places as I drive through the neighborhood. Will these <br />neighborhood guests know to use the same degree of caution? <br /> <br />There are many sales and service oriented businesses that I can imagine fitting in well at this location. A <br />bakery, for example, would draw a much wider range of residents from the Redwood Oaks <br />neighborhood who could walk to the business. Also, those two 20-minute parking spaces would work <br />reasonably well unless you had trouble deciding which baked goods to purchase. I strongly recommend <br />the planning department oppose the request for a permit for the massage parlor at 515 Woodside road <br />and search instead for a business more suitable and practical for the location. <br /> <br />Thanks again for making our message heard. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Lori VanHouten, PhD <br />437 Northumberland Ave <br />Redwood Oaks Neighborhood <br /> <br />3/13/2009 <br />
