The 2 bedroom house at'109 East Stuart has been in my family
for almost 20 years. I have managed it as a rental for 5
.years for my parents, Richard and Martha Bartlett. 'In the
1950's and 1960's, the house was the office for a motel. It `
has been my experience that the house has not been a good
rental for families or.students because of"its close proximity
to College Avenue.
In January of 19890 I purchased the: building under the mistaken
impression it was zoned for business. It was _my intention, and
still is, with the city's approval, to make it a family -owned
used book -store, with the possibility of adding employees as
the business grows.
It is my feeling that the community,can.support more book stores
than it has; especially as ours will .have, an emphasis on
children's books the existing book stores do not. We also
hope to have a reading program for pre-school and early
elerAe_m+ age children.
We intend to install energy-say.ing'devices such'as a gas water
heater time control and an automatic set -back thermostat.
for the hours the building is not•in use.
On the following page I will explain parking and traffic impact.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
