The hearing is to consider issuing a Conditional Use Permit for <br />a check; cashing facility at the existing .retail shopping center on Bristol Street. We have shared this <br />information with the owners of The Aspens. <br />They do have a concern regarding the issuance of this permit, since check cashing facilities do not add to <br />the prestige nor quality of services in, an area. We know that the City Council has been focusing on <br />bringing the businesses in the area to a higher level, as evidenced in a recent hearing regarding a <br />development at the corner of Plaza and MacArthur. The development at Plaza and MacArthur will <br />significantly improve the area and make this a more desirable area in which to live and work. <br />However, the owners feel that the addition of a check cashing facility in the area will do exactly the <br />opposite. For that reason, they have asked us to convey their opposition to issuing such a permit. <br />We thank you for your time ancLconsideration . <br />Sincerely, <br />~ ~- <br />David A.
