To Whom it may Concern,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request a Specific Use Permit to
conduct swimming lessons at a residence, located at 8130 Shenandoah, Beaumont,
Texas. For about six weeks each June and July, I teach ten classes per day. Classes
are held from 9:00 am to 1:00pm and again from 3:00 to 6:45 pm. Each group consists
of a maximum of eight students. Normal class days are Monday-Thursday with Friday
reserved for make-up lessons. Saturday and Sunday are reserved for private and
make-up lessons if needed. Also, In the months of May and August I sometimes teach
sporadic private swim lessons.
What started out as teaching my own children and close friends' children has grown to a
service that has benefited many. For 30 years I have taught at this location and have
dedicated my time and expertise to teaching swimming to both children and adults.
This not only contributes to the personal safety and confidence of each participant but
also benefits our community by promoting health, fitness, and water safety. A number of
my former students participate in local swim teams and school swimming programs.
Offering swimming lessons in the backyard has allowed me to create a safe, controlled
environment tailored to the needs of my students. My extensive experience ensures that
each session is conducted with the highest standards of safety and instruction.
I am confident that granting this permit will continue to serve the community positively,
providing an essential service to families in Beaumont. Swimming is a critical life skill,
and with the increasing number of homes with pools and the proximity to natural bodies
of water in our area, it is imperative that as many people as possible have access to
quality swimming instruction.
I have always adhered to all relevant regulations and guidelines to ensure that my
swimming lessons are conducted responsibly. I am more than willing to comply with any
•
additional requirements the city may impose to safeguard the community and maintain
the integrity of the neighborhood.
Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to the opportunity to continue
serving the residents of Beaumont through my swimming lessons. Please feel free to
contact me if you need any additional information or if there are specific steps I need to
follow to facilitate this process.
Sincerely,
StaciLftee
