MINUTES <br />Planning Commission <br />Aug. 9, 1984 <br />Behr <br />(Cont.) <br />Mr. Behr reported that he would no longer have external storage of <br />equipment. Everything would be stored in the garage. Also, he has <br />removed the forklift from the property and he will try to keep <br />parking off the street. <br />Mr. Costas asked how many mowers were sold per week and if repairs <br />were done on the premises. Mr. Behr stated that he sells an average <br />of three machines per week and he does do small repairs on the premises. <br />Mrs. Timmons asked how the appliances got to the property. Mr. Behr <br />replied that they were delivered by pickup truck. Mr. Behr stated <br />that he does have a trailer that he stores in the back of the property. <br />Mr. Behr reported that small engine repair is allowed under the <br />ordinance and felt that his occupation should also be allowed. <br />Mr. Licht pointed out that there have been complaints about the <br />operation. Mr. Behr felt that this was because of external storage <br />and he would no longer have this. <br />Mr. Licht pointed out that if there are complaints about other home <br />occupations, their permits are pulled. <br />Mrs. Timmons pointed out that the City did not allow Oscar Lane his <br />home occupation nor the gentleman on Viking Drive. Mrs. Timmons <br />stated that she would not want this operation next to her home and <br />pointed out that this is the reason people are paying residential <br />taxes and not commercial. <br />Timmons also agreed with the neighbor who sent a letter in against <br />the proposal, that it did devalue the property values of surrounding <br />properties. <br />Mr. Behr pointed out that everything would be housed in the garage. <br />Mr. Licht asked if there would be room for cars in the garage. Mr. <br />Behr replied that there would not. The Planner stated that under <br />the ordinance there must be room for two vehicles either in the <br />garage or in front of the garage. <br />Mr. Ducharme pointed out that there have been complaints on the <br />operation. <br />Mr. Licht pointed out that the operation was a privleged type of <br />operation on a residential property and it is enfringing on the <br />residential area. Licht stated that there are other areas zoned <br />in the City for this type of operation. <br />Mr. Ducharme recommended that the special home occupation permit requested <br />by Mr. Terry Behr he denied. <br />Motion seconded by Mr. Perlinger. <br />Page —5— <br />
