Application 05-03P- Doggone Beautiful Dog Grooming As I am unable to be present for the public hearing held on Tuesday May 10, 2005 I wish to express my comments in favor of this application. I have known Nancy Palauskas for over 9 years, she is a highly respected dog trainer and breeder of poodles. Ms. Palauskas has been grooming my dog at my house for many years she always maintains a professional atmosphere when she is working. I hope the commission will look favorably on this application. I believe Doggone Beautiful Dog Grooming will be a fine addition to the business community in South Windsor. Margaret M. Shea 266 Abby Road South Windsor, Ct 06074 i. . 0 Iry Ix tllAcccj - 1 _ CA i. , IC ai , fa oAa I 3 I 1 i 1 y s �t �rP sac qfl ��j t L 1 r� Proposed business owner, Nancy Palauskas, received pet groomer certification from Connecticut K-9 in 1991 and has since been employed by a grooming shop, vet hospital & kennel in surrounding towns. She has been an avid dog show exhibitor for the past 20 years and has a reputation in the USA for her top quality miniature poodles. Nancy is also an award winning groomer in regional competitions. Now it is time to pursue owning my own business. Doggone Beautiful will be a service based business that offers grooming for dogs in our community, and will specialize in poodles and other small breeds. Business will be conducted in a 13'X 18'room with an existing separate entrance. Hours of operation will be part time, 3-4 days per week. Open some Saturdays, closed on Sunday. I intend to groom no more than 4 dogs per day. No outside employees, except possibly one part time, during the holidays. Dogs would be kept on the premises no more than 3 hrs during the grooming process. Parking area is 40'x 50' and is located between my home and a neighboring office building so there is no impact on a residential neighbor. There is a state inspection and license that must be obtained on a yearly basis. Zoning approval from the town must first be made. I am aware of the requirements for the state license and have been in contact with the state inspector. State of CT grooming regulations are attached. Answers for letters A-I a. There will be only one major home occupation. Doggone Beautiful Dog Grooming. b. There will be no accessory buildings. c. There will be no non-residing employees, except possibly one part time person during the holidays d. There will be no storage of materials as this is a service business. e. The location of the property is on Ellington Road, already a very busy road. The small number of people that will come here will not increase the traffic. There will be no need for truck deliveries other than UPS f. Parking is a 40'x 50' area between my home and an office building, so there will be no impact on a residential neighbor. There is also a natural hedge row screen between my property and the office building. g_ There will be no external changes necessary to change the character of the residence. h. There will be no retail sales as it is a service business. i. none of these items apply, as dogs will be staying not more than three hours for their appointment. a1 rl. , ., b a �,-f'� �� ,4 j�r t'j��6 {�•-i� F.F '�i. 1 7 ' _� 21 r lip$ k� AL � � .�rl, � .P • A ,*�� 3.# l j��1`P' �il �'yr 7 :3�� * of � L.. _ ;1 �'+L#�i {+' �4 sr '�� #� 777�s��t.� ��P�� - .1 ..�It _ •!``'ti,r,�:. ,r- �4s--'� q r .T r _: � r --. n — ...
