Planning Commission Minutes — September 13, 2007 <br />Page 6 <br />an eyesore. He said he was familiar with what the concrete business involved, and it should not <br />be in a residential area. <br />Bill Klein, 6620 177th Street North, said there was a lot of traffic and the large trucks often drove <br />over the curb on 177th Street. <br />Michele Burke, 6740 177th Street North, said the traffic was bad. She said she had been there for <br />ten years and wants the neighborhood to stay quiet. <br />Mary Olson said the business had grown over the last four years. The location of the second <br />driveway had put a lot of stress on them. She is sometime awoken by the diesel trucks. <br />There were not other comments so Schumann closed the public hearing. <br />Rosenquist questioned the situation of his residence. <br />L'Allier explained his family had moved there in 2003 and only his wife and kids were living <br />there for now, but the situation would be changing. <br />Weidt and Moore had no questions or comments. <br />Rosenquist said the pictures showed more items than were indicated in the staff report. He said <br />it was not fitting for the neighborhood, and it looked more like light industrial. <br />Kleissler agreed that it appeared there was more going on than what had been implied. <br />McRoberts said the storage was excessive and not what would be expected in a residential <br />district. He stated that the applicant does not live there. McRoberts said he could not support the <br />request. <br />Bailly said the area looked to be more like light industrial than residential, and she felt it did not <br />meet the spirit of a home business. <br />Schumann said the element of unobtrusiveness was not there, and it looked like improvements <br />could be made by fencing the exterior storage, but it far exceeded what was allowed. He <br />commented that people living in the neighborhood had substantial investment in their property. <br />Rosenquist made motion, McRoberts seconded, to deny the Interim Use Permit for L'Allier base <br />on the fact that he did not reside on the property and there was excessive storage with no <br />screening. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />The Commission took a short break. <br />Update on September 6, 2007 Comprehensive Plan Open House <br />
