Public Hearing on Renewal of Interim Use Permit for Home Occupation - Modrow Joseph Modrow, 7180 177th Street North, has applied for renewal of his Interim Use Permit to operate a sewer and drain cleaning business from his home. At its November 5, 2007 meeting the City Council approved the home occupation interim use permit for the property. The home occupation ordinance states after two years the interim use permit shall be reviewed for renewal if the applicant would like to continue the home occupation. A public hearing is required for the renewal because the applicant is in violation of two conditions in the Interim Use Permit. Associate Planner Rachel Simone explained the applicant was to remove, within one year of his initial approval, a semi -cab that had been used in the business. There was also an extra sewer pump truck being stored on the property. The applicant Joe Modrow stated he was trying to sell the vehicles. City code allows for two unlicensed vehicles to be stored on a property per the Nuisance Ordinance, and the vehicles on the Modrow parcel could be considered junk vehicles. Mayor Miron opened the public hearing. John Olson, 7097 177th Street North, said Joe has been respectful of the residential neighborhood, but he did not want the business to grow. There were no other comments, and Mayor Miron closed the public hearing. Weidt made motion, Klein seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2009-49 APPROVING THE RENEWAL OF AN INTERIM USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE OPERATION OF A HOME OCCUPATION AS AN ACCESSORY USE ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7180 177TH STREET NORTH. All Ayes. Motion carried.
