June 13, 1977 ..Mr. Burman had sent a copy of a resolution passed by the Anoka County Board of Commissioners stateing there is suitable location within Anoka County for the development of a chemical waste landfill. Mr. Zelinka moved a letter of support be sent to the Board of Commissioners in this matter. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. ..Mr. Warren Solheid had applied for a Special Use Permit to operate a family house painting business from his home on Cedar Street. This request had been considered by the Planning and Zoning Board and forwarded to the Council for their consideration. The Council had considered this at the last Council meeting but felt they did not have sufficient infor- mation to make a decision. Mr. Solheid had been requested to attend this meeting to answer some of the Council questions. Mr. McLean read the minutes from the Planning and Zoning Board and the Council meetings. Mr. Solheid was asked if he would have or store painting materials at this location. Mr. Solheid said there would be odds and ends of painting materials but he does not stock paint supplies. He does not conduct a retail business in connection with the supplies. All the equip- ment he uses is a van and a 4 ton pick -up. These vehicles meet the City requirements as to wieght limits. Mr. Zelinka felt the costs for extra protection as such would be one con- dition for requiring a special use permit. Mr. Solheid said he only has a pick -up and a van and some times there will be the possibility of a couple of extra cars parked there. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Locher if there is any problem with this operation in an Ag or R1 zone and Mr. Locher said, No . Mr. McLean asked if there would be a sign and Mr. Solheid said, No. _ Mr. Karth felt withthepresent information, there is no need for a special use permit. However, if the business changes, then Mr. Solheid would need to re -apply for a special use permit. Mr. Zelinka asked if all the work would be done away from the premises and Mr. Solheid said, Yes. Mr. Zelinka said he could see no need for a special use permit under the conditions as set forth by Mr. Solheid but if the make- up of the business changes, then he would need to apply. He suggested that perhaps once a year Mr. Solheid could inform the Council if there has been a change. Mr. Solheid said he would be glad to supply this information. The general consensus of the Council was a special use permit is not necessary for this operation and Mr. McLean moved to return the $25.00 fee paid by Mr. Pierre Nadeau, with an explanation for the Council action. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. .. Mr. Peter Scherer had submitted an application for a special use permit for the stripping and refinishing of furniture at hsi home on 64th Street. The Council had questioned the components used in this operation and had asked for a statement from an independent lab. A letter had been received from the company who distributes the components and Mr. Gotwald had submitted a reply. Mr. Gotwald said the letter says no more than Mr. Scherer had told the Planning and Zoning Board. The Council is.not interested in the trade secrets of the formula. Mr. Scherer saind Mr. Mobley is having a lab anasis done of the product, but he could not be present this evening. Mr. McLean suggested Mr. Mobley send a copy of his report to Mr. Gotwald, Mr. Gotwald will call the Clerk's office and she will poll the Council for their opinion.
