• <br />MINUTES <br />REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />NOVEMBER 26, 1990 <br />7:30 p.m. <br />Meeting was called to order at 7:35 by Chairperson Boche. <br />PRESENT: <br />Barry, Boche, Daykin, Duncan, Finegan, Nestingen, Gibson Talbot <br />APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br />Minutes of the October 22 regular meeting and November 13 <br />special meeting were unanimously approved as written. <br />PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ZONING CODE SECTIONS 9- <br />Chairman Boche opened the public meeting at 7:40 p.m. He <br />explained that the Planning Commission proposes to amend zoning <br />code sections 9-4.01 Subdivision 3 Permitted Accessory Uses to <br />read: <br />(1) Garage and residential boutique sales limited to two <br />sales each calendar year per residential unit, not to <br />exceed ten consecutive days or two consecutive weekends. <br />Planner Hoyt explained that garage and boutique sales are not <br />included as a permitted accessory use in residential zones. <br />Nevertheless, the occasional single family or neighborhood <br />garage sale/boutique sale occurs without complications and <br />complaints. However, a number of complaints from residents <br />adjacent to dwellings where these sales frequently occur <br />suggests that some regulation of these sales may be in order. <br />Garage and boutique sales generate more traffic, parking demands <br />and goods in a driveway and yard than are consistently desirable <br />in a residential zone. <br />Mr. Warren Peterson, 1373 Hoyt, attendee at the public hearing, <br />asked who initiated the proposed amendment. Planner Hoyt <br />explained that the staff did, based upon complaints received <br />from residents adjacent to neighbors having unlimited garage <br />sales. <br />A commissioner asked if anything can be done if a resident <br />violates this ordinance. Planner Hoyt explained that a warning <br />of the code violation would be given first. If this warning was <br />ignored, a citation could be issued which could result in a <br />fine. As a final step, the resident could be taken to court for <br />1 <br />
