AO, /x.33 La Ribera St. Suite C. Livermore, Ca. 94550 Tel# (925)294-4340 Fax# (925) 294 -4654 T0: Vic Cochran Dated: 9 -29 -02 Subject: Cosmo?rof Redwood City From: Robert Auld of Randy A. Smith Const. Inc. I applied for and obtained a building permit on July 10, 2002. My payment was received by Steve Newsom, who I believe was the same person who took my application and processed it over the counter. While processing the application he mentioned to me that the tenant, Cosmoprof, still needed to get a business license. I said ok, thinking it was a routine matter. He than asked me what kind of business. it was and I explained they sold supplies to licensed beauticians. I don't recall exactly what. was said or by whom, nor do I recall at what point the building official went to get someone from planning (ie zoning). but is was about this point that the second official was-brought into the process to check the zoning traps and verify that the business (to the best n£my.knowledge) was acceptable for that location. I remember reiterating on a couple of occasions that the business only sold to licensed beauticians. I don't recall anyone using the word wholesale at any point although they did ask if they sold retail, to which I replied only to licensed beauticians/ cosmologists. (I've always associated wholesale with large, bulk non - taxable sales, which I didn't think described this business). At any rate this didn't seem to be the main concern of the city officials. They were also concerned about the "office'' that was part of the floor plan and what it's use would be. I explained it was where the managers desk was as well as functioning as a storeroom and break room etc. This seemed to satisfy them and the Planning official stamped and initialed the plans but made some comment about the office not being used for other purposes. I didn't really understand his concerns but I Figured he didn't want it to be sublet &/or used by a business that was not directly related to CosmoProfs *store. operation.
