Planning Commission Minutes — September 13, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br />Schumann opened the public hearing. <br />John Olson, 7097 177th Street North, said the residential neighborhood was now industrial <br />businesses. Big trucks cause wear and tear on the streets, back-up beepers are used at night, and <br />he is bothered by the smell of the diesel trucks. He said he thought the business did not belong <br />there. <br />Rick Arcand, 7270 177th Street North, said the big trucks beep and sit and idle, especially the <br />diesels in the winter. He felt it was not appropriate in the residential district. <br />Mike Gibbs, 6381 177th Street, said he agreed with Olson. He also said there was a posted speed <br />limit of 30 miles per hour on 177th street, and the trucks travel faster than that. <br />James Arcand, 6740 177th Street North, said when he moved there 23 years ago it was a nice, <br />quiet neighborhood. He had seen an increase in traffic and dust with the diesel trucks on the <br />roads. <br />Mary Beth Olson, 6321 177th Street North, said the 30 mph is not observed, and she does not feel <br />safe walking her dogs along the road.

He was <br />concerned about setting precedence, and said his interpretation of a home occupation was a <br />business run from a home. <br />Kleissler was concerned about the exterior storage of the vehicles. <br />McRoberts said development is a fact of life regardless or where you live, but the number of <br />vehicles parked outside of the building was beyond the scope of the ordinance. <br />Bailly said she thought they had adequate screening on the property, but she had concerns about <br />the traffic and sound. <br />Modrow explained that he rented in Little Canada until the business downsized. He did have <br />
