In regards to Zak Zakovi's CUP, Z 14346:
We have lived at 326 N Plum for 55 years and it has been a very
nice area to raise our children, grandchildren and great grand
children. As Zak moved in our neighborhood around 1975, we have
had problems with Zak and his noise from his place of business. His
attitude against his neighbors is almost unbearable.
He makes sure everyone on Plum is in accordance with the law.
His foundry expired and we don't really want smoke from his
foundry in our neighborhood. One of the reasons his sculptures are
not wanted in this neighborhood is because of no off street parking
anywhere near his place. Anyone that stops to visit or look at the
sculptures has to park in the driving lane. The sculptures could
prove to be dangerous for children who might want to be near them.
It should be the neighbors near his place of business that determines
what is good and bad about his place of business..Anyone else from
two blocks to eight miles should be less considered. I talked to
many people who signed for his sculptures to stay, did not know
what they were signing. He just asked if they liked them. They are
nice sculptures, but if he wants to enlarge his business, I would
suggest moving to a larger place in an industrial area, not in an R-2
zone where we can raise our children without worrying about
grouchy neighbors and a safe place to live.
