All aye. Motion Carried. CITY ENGINEER JAY KENNEDY ARRIVED AT 8:30 PM. Joe Modrow applied for an Interim Use Permit to operate a home occupation on his property located at 7180 177th Street North. The applicant is currently operating a sewer and drain cleaning business from his property. The applicant has stated that there is no sewer or drain cleaning done on the property and that the vehicles for the business are stored on the property. At its September 13, 2007 meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item where eight residents spoke with concerns regarding the business. The Planning Commission unanimously denied the Interim Use Permit based on the fact that the applicant had excessive storage of vehicles on the property. Joe Modrow and his wife Cheryl Matsui addressed Council outlining the scope of their sewer and drain cleaning business. Council member Puleo stated that this business/property was the "perfect' scenario for issuance of the Interim Use Permit. Miron made motion, Puleo seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 2007-56 APPROVING AN INTERIM USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE OPERATION OF A HOME OCCUPATION AS AN ACCESSORY USE FOR PROPERTY AT 7180 177TH STREET NORTH.
