Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Tuesday, January 18, 2022 <br />Page 6 <br />Shelley and Daniel Boyle <br />6750 Thornapple <br />We moved in last April. We have several letters from other neighbors who could not be here <br />tonight. [Letters were presented to Council Clerk Betsa for the record]. I would like to thank the <br />Council for your attention this evening. I would like to especially thank my neighbors for coming. <br />Is there any questions that I can answer? <br />Mrs. Jurcisek asked, you currently are using the shed that you have at the back of the property as <br />well, is that correct? <br />Mr. Boyle replied, yes. That's for storage. The studio is a totally different design. It won't be <br />used for storage. <br />Mr. Arndt stated, I would like to say something. <br />Council President Schutt stated, go ahead. <br />Mr. Arndt stated, I had the pleasure of meeting the Boyles after they first moved in. I saw them in <br />late summer/late fall. I saw the structure. It's well put together. It's not an eyesore. I support <br />you in what you have done. I don't see an issue here with the art studio whatsoever. You set it up <br />very nice. <br />Mr. Boyle asked, is there anything else you would like me to clarify? <br />Council President Schutt stated, no. I would just like to state for the record that I went over to the <br />Boyles' residence today to look at it because I knew it was on the agenda tonight and that we might <br />be possibly voting on this. It's definitely up for discussion at a minimum for tonight. I also wanted <br />the public record to validate that they purchased their home early in 2021 and based on our <br />conversation you mentioned that you did not realize you needed a permit, correct? <br />Mr. Boyle replied, no. Our understanding at that time was that since it was not a permanent <br />structure it was not required. <br />Council President Schutt stated, okay. And also, in reading the Minutes from the meeting they <br />mentioned that abstract painting can get messy at times. <br />Mr. Boyle replied, yes. <br />Council President Schutt asked, and also you mentioned that it would be for personal use and not <br />for any business and you wouldn't have clients coming in? <br />Mr. Boyle replied, correct. <br />
