Ayes: Rosenquist, Weidt, Moore Abstain: Bailly, Kleissler Motion carried. Ann and Dennis Thompson - Interim Use Permit Occupation The Commission held a public hearing to consider the application of Ann and Dennis Thompson, 13755 Elmcrest Avenue North, for an Interim Use Permit to operate a home occupation in an accessory building located on their property. Associate Planner Rachel Simone explained that the applicants operate a screen printing business out of a 3,600 square foot accessory building. The property is zoned Single Family Detached Residential (R-3), but since it is 15 acres in size it is considered Rural Residential according to the home occupation ordinance and has different standards than an urban residential home occupation. A portion of the building is used for a small office and storage. All of their business is generated by emails or phone calls and deliveries are sent by UPS. Some of the equipment that is used in the accessory building includes a gas dryer, two auto screen printing presses, two manual presses, two air compressors, and miscellaneous tools and inks. Because the business is conducted within 100% of the accessory building, an interim use permit is required. Schumann asked staff if the Fire Department had any code issues. Associate Planner Rachel Simone said the Fire Marshall had received a copy of the plans, and he had no concerns. Schumann opened the public hearing.
