the City of Springfield this structure would have to conform to all the
requirements of an E-3 occupancy, woodworkin'g establishment. As indicated
at the Planning Commission meeting of March 2, 1977 this structure was
originally constructed as a fruit stand and then later enclosed and altered.

HE: Department of Public Works
We received your letter of August 2, and again another
August 12, clarifying the building in which we now occupy
as a woodworking establish$ent does not comply with
any of the requirements for an E-3 occupancy.
We have looked into different possibHittes for our
shops location and even tne probaThiljtyfof building on
our present lot.
After visiting with Mr. Detering (owner of the structure
and property at 3415 Main) and explaining our position
to him, we concluded that he does not intend to
ressurect a new building nor sell the property so we can.
Our alternative is to relocate which we have been
desperately trying to do. We find there are problems
in finding buildings in the proper zones that are
modifiable to the code. In investigating into the
purchase of property we also must consider the zone,
and the cost of building an establtshment forour
needs.
We have other problems related to our relocation which
we need time to work out.
We cannot submit drawings and apply for a building
permit because we have not yet found a plot of land.
Is it possible you can grant us a grace period to
get organized and move out of this building?
We are sincerely striving to get this out of our hair
and on the road to progress, and I know you are anxious
for this also. A forty-ftve day extention sure would
be of a great help to us now. Is it possible?
Sincerely,
