Minnesota Physical Medicine, P.A. <br />Karen S. Ryan, M.D. <br />Business Office <br />2570 McMenemy Street <br />Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 <br />Electromyography (612) 482 -1591 <br />Pain Management Fax (612) 232 -4325 <br />May 30, 1996 <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 E. Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />Re: Conditional Use Permit Application <br />To whom it may concern: <br />I am a physician, specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. I see my <br />patients in my clinical office in downtown St. Paul, and as needed in metropolitan <br />area hospitals and nursing homes. I periodically do consulting with industry re: <br />job modification and also do medical legal work. I have maintained a home office <br />for the past 2 years, for the purpose of completion of necessary reports and other <br />general administrative functions, in my home at 2570 McMenemy St., Little <br />Canada. I do not see patients at this location, and, other than an occasional vendor <br />for office equipment or an appointment with an outside consultant, I have no <br />additional visitors to my home on the account of my business activities here. <br />I have come to the point of requiring part time clerical assistance for the <br />administrative functions of my practice and have hired a neighborhood teenager to <br />assist me with a variety of clerical duties, including such things as making copies, <br />filing and typing /word processing activities. Because she is 15, she falls under the <br />requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which I fully intend to observe. <br />Because she lives in the neighborhood, I do not anticipate any externally visible <br />change of the activity at my home, as she will be walking to her job, and therefore, <br />there will not even be an additional car to be parked on the premises. <br />I discovered, in checking with the city clerk and reviewing Ordinance 903.120, <br />that the employment of any non- resident brings my home occupation into a <br />different classification, and hence requires a conditional use permit. Enclosed <br />with this letter is my application for a conditional use permit. <br />Please advise me as to the location and time of the required Planning Commission <br />and City Council meetings and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Karen S. Ryan, IfLD. <br />cc: file <br />Page 17 <br />
