Little Canada Planning Commission Little Canada Mayor and City Council 16 July 1984 Page Two 3. There shall be no exterior storage of equipment or materials used in the home occupation, except personal automobiles used in the home occupation may be parked on the site. With the garage used for storing refrigerators, the lawn tractors and fork lift are left with the alternative of outside storage. The ordinance interpretation is straight forward and states no exterior storage. The requirements which are specifically related to special home occupations give guidelines which will direct more intense activities occurring on residential properties. While these requirements are a bit more open, they do not supersede the general provisions listed above. Following is a list and response to requirements specific to special home occupations: 1. No person other than a resident shall conduct the home occupation, except where the applicant can satisfactorily prove unusual or unique conditions or need for nonresidential assistance and that this excep- tion would not compromise the intent of this Ordinance. Mr. Emil Behr and his sons run the operation. Due to the bulk and weight involved, the number of people employed could be justified, however, the intent of the Ordinance is to prevent an activity of such intensity from occurring in a residential district. 2. Examples of special home occupations include: barber and beauty services, photography studio, group lessons, saw sharpening, small appliance and small engine repair and the like. The sale of large appliances and garden tractors is on a greater scale than any of the above activities. 3. The home occupation may involve any of the following: stock -in -trade incidental to the performance of the service and repair or manufacturing which requires equipment other than customarily found in a home. The stock -in -trade is to be incidental to a service. The home occupa- tion shall not involve over - the - counter sale of merchandise produced off the premises, except for those brand name products that are not marketed and sold in a wholesale or retail outlet.
