Friday, October 17, 2008 The Planning and Zoning Commission Community Development Department 150 1 st Street S.E., Paris, Texas 75461 Dear Commissioners, For the purpose of conducting business, I submit this application to you and respectfully request your approval for the zoning change of my property that is located on 221 8"' Street, City of Paris, State of Texas. The mentioned property currently is a residential building, that was built originally in 1920, was remodeled during 1990's (used to conduct "Bed and Breakfast" business -- according to words provided by the seller's daughter -- and converted into a rental property later on) and finally remodeled again following its acquisition in September of 2006. With a significant amount of effort, I have brought this property from unlivable condition to a decent one. Now, I would like to use this property as a place to provide the services to the people of Paris those I treasure the relationship. My business shall be very much "home- base" in nature. With a limited number of customers patronize each day, it will not adversely affect my neighbors. In addition, the area is already a "mix of residential and commercial uses" with heavy traffic flow through 8"' street each day via Pine Bluff street and Lamar street (their intersections is only few hundred feet away from my property) therefore the presence of my business will not change the existing conditions. Further more,.as far as I can see, the overall structure of the building will not be altered, regardless improvements in the future, therefore my business establishment will not cause any adverse impact for the surrounding area. I believe, in my humble opinion, that the establishment of my business on the 8t' street will enhance the safety, the beauty and the value of my own as well as of my neighbor's property. More important, it certainly will generate economic benefits to support my family as well as to contribute to the economic health of this city. Again, for the stated purpose, I request your approval. Paris is a better place to live, according to my choice, it should also be a better place to do business. As an end note, I would like to say thank you for your time. And, your kind consideration is greatly appreciated. ordi Pham, Xuan Thu Thi 221 N.E. 8th Street, Paris, TX 75460.
