Roll Call; Novak, Johnson, Grace, Lundquist, Cunningham, Tom Loucks, Midwest Planning

James Zins: 8633 Ironwood Trail — Possibility of establishing a kennel at Ironwood address.
Mr. Zins presently has five dogs. In order for Mr. Zins to obtain a permit
for a kennel a public hearing will have to be held. Also a variance will also
be needed since it is necessary to be 100 ft. from the neareet residence.
The ordinance allows three dogs per residence -without the need of a kennel
permit. If Mr. Zins still desires to keep five doge it was recommended he
apply for such a permit at the office.
Wm. Hjelmgren: Public Hearing. Special Use Permit to operate upholstery business at
10899 32nd Street N.
Mr. Hjlemgren explained the business operation, which is done in a garage at
the rear of his fathers home. There is little customer contact on the premises
as the majority is done in customers homes. Mr. Hjlemgren does all the pick—up
and delivery so traffic near the shop is minimal. Mr. Hjelmgrens' father does
work with him
Comments from the audience:
Mr. T. M. Osborne, who resides to the west does not feel a shop should be
allowed in a residential area. Also, if this shop is permitted how many
more will be allowed in the area?
Q.
A.
Is this the only location considered?
Mr. Hjelmgren felt renting was not economically £eaSible. This is his
sole livelihood. He works six days a week plus some evenings.
Q. What amount of traffic is there to the business during the week?
A. Approximately 2-3 clients at times, not at all times.
There is no sign to advertise.
Tom Loucks, Midwest Planning felt this request did fit the purpose of a SUP.
Problems of congestion or others related to the business can cause the SUP
to be revoked.
Mr. Osborne brought up the question of encrochment. He stated that 2-5 feet
of his property is driven on at the side of the Hjelmgen driveway. Presently
there is a question as to Who owns this five feet.
Duane Grace felt these stipulations should be included in the SUP:
1 No hired help outside the family
2 No advertising
3 Hours: 7-9 Monday thru Friday, 7-5 Saturday, None on Sunday
4 Customer visitation to the shop be discouraged
Bearing was closed at 8:40 PM.
