addition, we have taken over the lawn mowing/exterior maintenance and will continue <br />responsibility for all property maintenance if this home can continue to be operated as a <br />duplex. <br />Our intended plan for this duplex is to rent out both units so it will be able to <br />support the commercial loan along with the cost of repairs of an aging property, while <br />we continue to pay our current home mortgage, and save to build our future home on <br />the adjacent parcel. If this is not approved to use as a duplex, we will not bring in <br />enough to be able to go through with these plans. Our long-term plan was to rent the <br />lower unit to my parents when they can no longer live independently and to continue to <br />rent out the top unit to another party in order to financially support the property <br />maintenance of an 1800’s home. With that said, we are asking that the interim permit be <br />granted until the sale of the property, as we do not want to risk the possibility for City <br />Staff or Council to change over and have the potential to not be approved for another <br />term of the interim-use for the duplex, and then be stuck after we have already built a <br />home. We would like to securely know what the future holds from the City if we are <br />going to build our forever home on the adjoining property as this will also affect our <br />choices for remodeling the duplex along with long-term family care plans. We of course <br />plan to fix it up to code either way, but we will be selecting “upgraded” interior fixtures <br />and choices based on my parents vs. renters, again, depending on this approval. <br />In conclusion, we are kindly asking for the City’s support, to please approve our <br />request to grant this interim-use permit until the sale of this property so we can plan and <br />budget accordingly, knowing that the City will continue to support our plans which <br />include the choices we make for remodeling and our future home building plans for this <br />property. <br /> <br />Signed: _______________________________ <br />Printed: Michelle K.
