Jill Cave EXHIBIT A UP-98-01 <br />500 Broad Street <br />Portsmouth, VA. 23707 <br /> <br /> <br />January 6, 1998 <br /> <br />Portsmouth Planning Commission <br />Crawford Street <br />Portsmouth, Va. 23707 <br /> <br />Dear Commissioners: <br /> <br />I am requesting a use permit to allow me to operate a bed and breakfast (B&B) from my <br />home. I have reviewed the city ordinance for a B&B and meet all the requirements. I <br />will have 3 guest rooms sharing a common bathroom and will only serve breakfast to the <br />guests. Guests will be welcome in the parlor, family room, dining room, kitchen and the <br />garden house. <br /> <br />The B&B will be owned and operated by myself. I anticipate the majority of my business <br />will come from tourists, military contractors and family members of service personnel <br />receiving treatment in Portsmouth Naval Hospital. I intend to provide a welcoming <br />alternative to "hotel living" and will provide advice on local areas of interest, local <br />dining experiences and shopping. <br /> <br />The only interior change planned is to add an additional bathroom on the third floor. No <br />changes will made to the exterior of the house to accommodate the B&B. <br /> <br />The Port Norfolk Civic League is in full support of the planned B&B and is the group <br />that requested the change to city ordinances to allow B&B in the Port Norfolk area. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
