Board of Zoning Appeals April 18, 2016

Cleveland City Hall, Room 516

Cleveland, Ohio 44114

Chairwoman Johnson and Board members,

I am writing you today to express my strong support of the variance requested by The Harp located at 4408 Detroit Avenue. This variance would permit the presentation of live entertainment at this long standing neighborhood establishment.

Live music at The Harp has helped introduce me to this wonderful neighborhood and opened my eyes to other local businesses in this area. Over the past sixteen years, The Harp has become an anchor in the community. Its location welcomes people into the unique Ohio City neighborhoods. It has made a tremendous commitment to the City of Cleveland by re-investing in continual improvements through landscaping, building improvements, additional parking and benefits for local charities.

The Harp is a pillar of this community, and I support this variance.

Sincerely,
