My name is Timothy Hatch and I humbly request the approval of the re-zone request.

My wife Susan and I live in Shakopee, MN. We have known Taylor Turner for 20 years and subsequently her husband, Eric Turner, for the last 11 years. Over that period of time we have not only became members of KMAA, we have forged so many new, wonderful relationships within KMAA, that we have decided to permanently relocate to Knoxville.

Not only will we be moving to Knoxville, but we also plan on moving our business, Four Paws Inc. DBA, Fancy Paws Pet Salon, into KMAA’s new proposed building. Our grooming business has been named the areas "Best In Grooming" for the last 9 straight years. My wife, Susan, is one off the best groomers in the world. She has been a multiple time member of Groom Team USA, an honor reserved for the top 10 competitive groomers in the United Stares. Her grooming accomplishments are too numerous to list in this format. But, I’m sure the dog lovers of the Knoxville area would enjoy access to our grooming services.

Along with our running our business, I also plan on working with KMAA on adding a boxing program, to further expand the already wide array of combat sports and fitness opportunities and to share my 25 years of boxing knowledge. Thank you for your time.

My name is Susan Hatch, one of the owners of the land initially denied in the rezoning. I humbly ask that you approve this request. KMAA is not only an established business of Knoxville but a business that supports the health and growth of the community. This business impacts everyone from families looking to get healthier to world class athletes.

In addition, to KMAA, this building will bring world class dog grooming to Knoxville. I have been grooming for over 20 years, I am sponsored by multiple companies that are known worldwide. As a member of Groomteam USA, speaker and educator in the grooming industry and have held seminars both nationally and internationally. Currently, there is a shortage of groomers in the city of Knoxville and surrounding areas and I would love to share my skills and knowledge with the Knoxville area. This building is for both of our business futures and forever home.

I am also a member of KMAA, along with my husband Tim, despite the fact that we live in Minnesota. So we are relocating from our lifelong home of Minnesota to Knoxville permanently, to work alongside, and with, the wonderful people of KMAA. Thank you so much for you time.
