Continuation of Cabinet Shop Use - 2018To the City of Campbell
My name is Gary Pappani owner of G&N Custom Cabinets at 191 Dillon Ave, Campbell
95008. In 2015 I was injured and temporarily unable to carry on my cabinet making. As
a result I let my business license expire in 2016 (9-30-2016) since I was unable to make
money and to save on that expense. Jeff Paris of Paris Woodworks agreed to take over
the shop for me but was unable to until recently due to his existing lease.
I never abandoned the building and all of my machinery remains as it was, today. All my
utilities and garbage have continued and still operating and still under G&N Custom
Cabinets.
I have been approached by realtors about the purchase of our building when the
construction across the street started on the high density living space. So we know that
eventually our building will be sold. We have an understanding with Jeff Paris that when
that opportunity arises that he will receive a 6 month notice to vacate and that will be
spelled out in our lease agreement. Jeff Paris is a one man operation as myself so nothing
in the way of impact changes. Our situation will be temporary but we need this to happen
in order to pay for insurance and taxes on the building in the interim.
I came in to the planning department and specifically asked if there would be any future
problem when it was time to rent the building out now that all the new residential space
was moving in. I was told no as long as it was a "like business and usage". They gave me
other examples of new usage like auto repair shop etc. which would be denied. I was
never aware or made aware of the 12 month lapse issue or I would have accepted
renewing my license at that time.
Please accept this temporary usage of our building. Not disturbing the neighborhood will
be a priority and keeping our grounds neat and clean as it has always been. Jeff Paris and
family are also residents of Campbell.
Thank you for your consideration!
