all persons to attend before it is too late. Residential life in this peaceful town is about to experience a big change unless you stand and defend it. If you do not feel comfortable speaking in public make your wishes known in writing.

Mary Ann Kuhn, the present owner of Middleton Inn is applying to change your zoning ordinance that was installed to contain commercial activities in the commercial district. She wants to bring commercialism into the residential areas. If allowed the impact will ruin property values for homes unless you too want to be commercial.

She is applying to expand the allowed activities of B&B's. She wants to operate a restaurant by “invitation”, cater events on and off site.

This means weddings and other events both inside and outside.

How fine a person she is and how tastefully the events are, have nothing to do with your peaceful way of life in a residential neighborhood.

A hundred and fifty guests on a frequent basis is still a hundred and fifty guests and bring with them all the noise and problems of commercialism.

If Mary Ann Kuhn is allowed to change our zoning ordinance then the entire town will be changed.
