DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED EXCEPTION SHOHING JUSTIFICATImlS: Exception is requested from Section24-3.2 of the Zoning Code. This section requires that historic designation be made on any building before a conditional use is permitted. This provision prohibits a property owner in the 0 Zone from conditional uses if the building has not or cannot be historically designated. The original Mountain Forge building was constructed in 1963 to blend with the historical buildings in this block. Others between Monarch and Aspen Streets. Quadrant Books, and the Bucksbaum home have been similarly constructed. The requested use is an artistic, quiet operation, requiring no large deliveries of material,nor generating large volume,of traffic. Will YOIJ be represented by counsel ? Yes No~ (~') - ~ SIGNED: ~ r--~ ~ Appellant PROVISIONS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRING THE BUILDING INSPECTOR TO FORWARD THIS APPLICATION TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND REASON FOR NOT GRANTING: APPLICATION IS MADE FOR A BUILDING PERMIT TO BUILD AN ADDITION TO AN EXISTING BUILDING FOR USE AS A SHOP CRAFT INDUSTRY.

There are in the same zone and block, other similar shop-craft uses, see attached exhibit, and a similar stained glass studio with a separate commercial outlet of its own in the commercial zone, has operated quietly for many years. The requested use would allow a recognized artist to live and work on'the same premises. When traffic and air pollution are of such concern, this living-work arrangement is most desirable. For the past five years, I have furnished reasonable employee housing in the old Victorian house on the corner, eliminating one automobile from the daily work traffic. While this provision of living where one works may not be particularly applicable in this case, I believe it is important in considering growth problems. The Planning Office has indicated that the historic designation was established to protect the historic character of Main Street, it might not be against the general plan to consider this case on its own merit. The addition will be done in the same character as the original building, in keeping with the Victorian, historical character of the entire block between Monarch and Aspen Streets.
