Dear Mr. Caruso:
+
~.
I'm writing with regard to a letter of intent recently received from you
relative to the operation of a weapons dealership at your residence lo-
cated at 6112 Main Street #5, Springfield, Oregon. As you know, a com-
mercial business is not a permitted use in a residential zone. Home
occupations, however, are permitted in a residential zone. Enclosed
is a copy of the definition and limitations of a home occupation as
specified in the Springfield Comprehensive Zoning Code. Your proposed
weapons dealership must conform to the requirements of said definition.
In your letter, you state that a federal regulation requires you to
post business hours. The Springfield Zoning Code allows a "nameplate"-
i.e. name of business only, to be posted. It is not the intent of the
Springfield Zoning Code to allow a home occupation to establish specific
commercial business hours thereby receiving customers and creating a
potential traffic problem or conditions that are not conducive to the
residential nature of the area. While we are not asking you to ignore
a federal regulation that requires you to post business hours, we are
requesting that you not permit the operation to exceed the limitations
of a home occupation as defined in the Zoning Code. Perhaps a supple-
mental letter to this effect from you would also be appropriate at this
time.
Please direct all inquiries to the Springfield Building Division at
726-3753.
Sincerely,
~

SUBJECT: Supplemental Letter of Intent
Dear Mr. Clark:
*
I received your letter of 9/12/80 on zoning cDdes. and I will operate
within limitation of same. It is not my intent to establish specific com-
mercial business hours, thereby receiving customers and creating a potential
traffic problem or conditions that are not conductive to the residential
nature of the area; but only to comply with Federal regulations of having
specific hours of operations posted under the name plate of business.
I hope this, along with my first Letter of Intent, meets with your re-
qui rement.
Sincerely,
k,~
