NIx 55344 Administrative Office 432 Ball Street Grapevine, rx 76o5i ww-a. sotheworldmayhear. org Enclosed is our application for consideration of a conditional use zoning variance. We believe we qualify under Section 48 of your planning and zoning ordinances. The Starkey Hearing Foundation is a 501(C)(3) public charity. The foundation was created to provide hearing health awareness and education, as well as providing hearing instruments to those in need around the world. Our Headquarters is in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The office we set up at 432 Ball Street is a small administrative office that relocated to Grapevine for a number of reasons. Since our travel is frequent and international, close proximity to DFW Airport was important. Another reason we came to Grapevine was that it is our intent to eventually replicate our annual gala that is held in St. Paul Minnesota here at the Gaylord Hotel. The event is our main fundraiser and pays for the mission work we do. To expand our operation, we need to produce another gala and we believe the Dallas Fort Worth area, and particularly Grapevine, is the place to do it. We have a staff of 5 people working at the 432 Ball Street location. Our hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and occasional weekends. There is no signage whatsoever at this location and no "traffic". We have invested about $25,000 on landscape and fixing the house up and maintain it in a manner consistent with the rest of the neighborhood. The work that was done was primarily electrical, flooring and landscape. There was no construction involved. Our use of the house is strictly office use. We have established good relationships with the neighbors that we have met. We apologize that the homework was not done as well as it could have been on the front end and that we all find ourselves in this situation. We truly did not know that we were operating outside the guidelines for what was typical for this area. That said, we appreciate your consideration of our application. cerely, Patricia Steerman Starkey Hearing Foundation CUD -7 -DI January 09, 2007 JAN 1 2 200-7 City of Grapevine 200 South Main Street Grapevine, Texas 76051 To Whom it May Concern, I am writing this letter as both personal as well as professional references for Patricia Steerman and Debbie Wright, with the Starkey Hearing Foundation. My work with these women began in 1982 when we worked on a local family and youth counseling agency. The connection has lasted for 25 years. We've worked on endeavors and projects in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors. They have a great national network of friends and associates, some of whom are former Cowboy players who they have worked with on community projects with much success. When I found out about the situation with the house that they have moved their office in to, I felt compelled to send some sort of reference for them. I assure you that they will be an asset to Grapevine, either through the community projects that they are always involved in or through individual efforts and involvement. You couldn't ask for better corporate or personal citizens. I would welcome further questions or inquiries. Sincerely, John A.

The staff at the Starkey Hearing Foundation has been a pleasure to work with. They are very quiet, they do not have come and go traffic and they have made such an effort to blend into the neighborhood. They have added substantial value to the property since moving in by additional landscaping and amenities inside the house. I am now a neighbor to Starkey living an 1/8 a mile down the road. They are community minded and have reached out to many local people by providing hearing aids. I believe they were taken by surprise to find they were operating outside of the city ordinance. It was never their intention to do so. If you have any further questions please contact me at 817-819-6950.
