We are in opposition of Case 20186 with the District of Columbia Board of Zoning. This is a Single family home trying to get approved for exemptions that will allow the residential home to be a business without any residential life. We say no to the Special exemptions, we say no to the proposed unlicensed construction and No to this business venture. We must protect our properties, senior citizens and the quiet residential zone. We say No to increased traffic, we say NO. Move this venture to an area zoned for business. We say No

I strongly oppose this zoning exemption. The home owner has reneged on her promise to the community to keep this a small home-based business and is now expanding the business beyond the scope of what was originally agreed upon with neighbors. The change in scope will have a negative impact on traffic, noise, parking and the general nature of our community. This is not what we signed up for when many of us moved into this neighborhood. We have tried to negotiate with the home owner to reach a happy medium, to no avail, as she refuses to budge from her intent to force neighbors to live with the impact of her lucrative venture. Not what I call being a good neighbor.
I strongly oppose this zoning exemption. If granted, it'll allow: 1-A business to operate in an area of homes that's zoned residential, 2- A 3 story addition, 3- The addition of a 3rd story on the existing home day care (both 3rd floors are out of character with the surrounding 2 story homes), 4- Increased traffic, parking and related safety concerns on a quite residential street and lastly 5- If granted, anyone else can apply for a zoning exemption in our Community and use this exemption as a means, to support their appl. and in time, potentially destroy the character of our residential neighborhood. Is your Community next?
I support this petition one hundred percent! This business will cause a disruption to our neighborhood as has in the past. Issues such as Parking, parties, trash and the use of ally next to my house as a main thoroughfare. I would like to enjoy the comfort of my home!
This is an unnecessary want in the neighborhood. And this business owner has constantly showed lack of compromising but more importantly has lied on her application. I don't understand why this application is still considered. Any other application for govt would be terminated , so should theirs.
My Dad, Mr Martin and I oppose this expansion in our residential neighborhood. Such a zoning change would cause more such property issues to crop up in the future. Our community is residential, quiet, vigilant, and should stay that way. Too many cars from all over coming and going to drop-off a larger number of children at this corner intersection will also be very unsafe for the children and our seniors.
Opposed!

I live on 3rd Street between Quackenbos and Peabody and when I walk my dog in the morning I have to look over my shoulder towards New Hampshire Avenue as I'm crossing the Street on Quackenbos for all the Maryland license plates cars making the illegal turn from N. H. to drop their children off at the daycare center. It's illegal to turn left on that Street Monday through Friday until 9:30 am
