Ray Phillips L093 Mill StreetSpringfield, Oregon 97477 Dear Mr. Phillips: A recent observation of your property reveals that you areoperating a business from the residence at 1093 Milr street(Phi1lips Printing). The city of springfield requires thatbusinesses operated in residential zones adhere to specificrequirements in order to be compati-ble with the character ofresidential neighborhoods. Those requirements are risted onthe attached Home Occupation Agreement. The springfield Development code, adopted by the city councilin May, 1,986 requires that all legitimate home occupationsbe registered with the city. The regj-stration is a one timeprocess with a fee of $25.00. As long as no complaints arerecej-ved and the business adheres to the requirements of the Home occupation Agreement it will be considered a regal homeoccupation. Please review the attached Home occupation Agreement and ifyou feel- you meet the requirements of approval, fill out theagireement and return it to this office for review. if youare unable to qualify as a home occupation, your businessoperations will need to be relocated to an appropriate zoningdistrict. Prease feel free to carl me to di-scuss this matter. Cordially, thia L. Harmon Development permit Coordiantor Sa11y Johnson, Associate planner Gregory S.

Harmon Development Permit Coordiantor City of Springfield 225 North 5th Street, Springfield, Oregon 97477 Dear Cindy, Tn response to our phone conversati-on the oLher day, I am writing to you. We were not aware of the city regulations in regards to home businesses and did not really know where to ask. After looking over the Home Occupation Agreement that you forwarded to me I find that I can not agree to iLts provisions. The two areas are numbers 5 and 9. LIe have non-family employees. 0n1y two are here at the place of business for any length of time. The others are outside sales people. Being on MiIl street, this does noL increase traffic in this neighborhood in a measurable way and t,here is not a parking problem. The other area, number 9, is only a minor problem. Occasionally we have people comi.ng in Lo pick-up small jobs, geL some copies made or check proofs. This probably totals no more than an average of 3 to 5 per week. Again due to ourlocation on Mill, there is no appreciable traffic problem. Our request would be that we might be allowed to conLinue until at least May 1,L987. The reason for this is that we are right in the middle of a large mapproject, similar to the Chamber of Commerce rutp, for the Eugene SpringfieldVisitors and Convention Bureau. The time needed to devote to that males a moveat this point of time most inconvenient. Secondly, I would like to explore the possibility of a zoning change. With theschool district offices jusL down the street towards town a iew blocks and theSalvation Army just a couple blocks the other way and the fact the Mi1l Streetis probably one of the heavier traveled streets in Springfield, changing thezoning to an area which would al1ow professional offices or other 1ow impactactj-vities which would a11ow more economic development would seem to me Lo bea positi-ve step. our situati-on and the suggestion.
