I support this special use request on a personal and professional level.
On a personal level, Hanna and her team helped us train our recent rescue dog from Young Williams. The dog came with some aggressive behavior issues, and after 6 weeks of training with Hanna and her team, our pup was calmer and easy to be around. We live in Parkridge, and The Bark would serve a great need to have dog boarding, grooming, and play opportunities in the central city area without having to drive so far from the neighborhood.
I lived on 3rd and Luttrell in 2006 - 2007, and at that time there were not a lot of businesses/ services adjacent to the neighborhood. This will contribute to the other businesses that have opened nearby.
From a professional perspective, I am an architect, and support adaptive reuse of existing buildings. There are many lots/ buildings in that area that could use new businesses to bring activity and services for the community. Adaptive reuse is a valuable tool to reduce the effects of climate change. Using this existing building for a new business also aligns with the city's sustainability goals.

I will be out of town during the Planning Commission hearing December 9th. Please accept and read the attached letter in lieu of my speaking. I write in opposition to Thunder Mountain's Sector Plan amendment. Their application fails to meet any one of the four amendment criteria.
