Planning & Zoning Board <br />March 8, 2017 <br />Page 3 <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br />Chair Tralle asked if Mr. Witzel has been cited for zoning at this location. Mr. Witzel <br />stated that he has been cited for business storage. Mr. Witzel stated he is not currently <br />cited. <br /> <br />Chair Tralle stated that he will vote against the Home Occupation at this property. <br /> <br />Mr. Root asked about Mr. Witzel’s statement, “we do not usually store material outside”. <br />Mr. Witzel explained that if he comes home with a trailer, the trailer will be stored <br />outside. <br /> <br />Mr. Root questioned Mr. Witzel’s statement “there is typically one employee in the <br />office, on site during the day”. Mr. Witzel stated that there will be one employee in the <br />office at a time. Mr. Witzel stated that most employees will be going to the Fridley <br />location. <br /> <br />Mr. Root asked to clarify what Mr. Witzel means by personal vehicles in his letter. Mr. <br />Witzel stated that employees drive three quarter ton vans. <br /> <br />Mr. Root asked for clarification on trash pickup. Mr. Witzel is uncertain about when he <br />trash would be picked up. If operation was fully operating, trash would be picked up on <br />Tuesday and Wednesday. <br /> <br />Mr. Root asked for clarification on storing material. Mr. Witzel stated that when he buys <br />material in bulk, these are the items that will be stored at the Lino Lakes location. <br /> <br />Chair Tralle declared the Public Hearing open at 7:06 p.m. <br /> <br />Melissa Jackson, 172 Pine Street stated that Mr. Witzel came to the home and she was <br />not in favor of the Home Occupancy. Mrs. Jackson has 3 young children. She noted that <br />the road traffic is busier than she initially thought. Her concern is employees driving and <br />not slowing down. Mrs. Jackson expressed concern around regulation of material on the <br />property. Chair Tralle explained the CUP would regulate that there would be no outdoor <br />storage. CUP runs with the land and would be there forever for a Home Occupancy to <br />operate on this site. Mrs. Jackson questioned surrounding property value changes if a <br />Home Occupancy were to be approved. Chair Tralle states that nothing would happen to <br />surrounding property value. <br /> <br />Chair Tralle made a MOTION to close the Public Hearing at 7:11 p.m. Motion was <br />supported by Mr. Root.
