MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AUGUST 27, 199'7 <br />with outdoor storage of the tool truck. As a result, the garage was raised <br />to allow for parking of the truck within the garage. <br />The City Planner reported that Code defines two types of home <br />occupations, one bein~ a permitted home occupation and the other a <br />special home occupation. The Planner explained that a home occupation <br />must be an accessory use to the residential use of the property. As long as <br />there is no one complaining or it is not obvious there is a business being <br />run from the home, there is no formal permit necessary for the home <br />occupation. However, once the City receives complaints or staff notices a <br />problem resulting from a home occupation, a special home occupation <br />permit is required. <br />Scalze felt the Code said there can be no employees involved in the home <br />occupation. Scalze stated she did not think that in 1995 the Wahlberg's <br />had indicated that there would be employees involved in their business. <br />Scalze felt employees were an issue because then there are people coming <br />and going from the residential property. Scalze felt that the first purpose <br />in regulating home occupations was to prevent competition with business <br />districts. Scalze felt this home occupation was different from others in the <br />City ~iven that there are employees and delivery trucks comin~ and ~oing <br />to the property. Scalze felt this was more of a commercial use. <br />LaValle felt the home occupation operated by the Wahlberg's was no <br />different than an Amway distributor as an example. <br />Mrs. Wahiber~ reported that they do not have customers coming to their <br />home. It was also pointed out that the two employees do not office at their <br />home and basically are only picking up something they do not have in <br />their inventory. <br />Fahey asked how often deliveries are made and how often employees visit <br />the property. <br />Mr. Wahlberg estimated employee visits to twice per employee per week. <br />Deliveries are usually made by UPS 3 to 5 times per week. There is one <br />delivery on Saturday by King's Trucking. <br />Fahey asked if the Wahlber~'s could live with the delivery restrictions <br />recommended by the Plannin~ Commission, that is, 9 A.M. through 9 <br />P.M. on weekdays and 9 A.M. through 3 P.M. on Saturdays. <br />Mr. Wahlberg indicated that those hours were acceptable, but pointed out <br />that he usually leaves in his truck at 7 AM. or 7: I S A.M. and asked if the <br />time restrictions applied to his leaving the property.
