AYES: Peltier, Schumann, Puleo ABSTAIN: Peterson Motion carried. Special Use Permit (Mark & Sally Cain) Public Hearin The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider an application from Mark & Sally Cain, 4777 320th St., Stacy, MN, for a special use permit to construct an apartment as part of their dwelling being constructed at 13133 Hadley Circle N. The Cains requested to build a guest suite, including a separate entrance, full bath and kitchen, as part of the home they are building on Lot 5, Block 1, White Oak Heights subdivision. The property is located in the City's agricultural zoning district where two family residences may be allowed by special use permit. Mr. Cain, who was present, stated the guest suite would be for his aging father, and he had no intention of acquiring a renter. Puleo opened the meeting to the public. Cliff Axelson stated there were already six other homes in the area, and the apartment could be considered the seventh, as he felt it would eventually be rented in this manner. Also of concern was the impact on the common septic system used by the White Oak Heights residents. Bob Bilotta, who resides south of the Cain property, felt a multi -dwelling in this area would be inappropriate and, in the future, would eventually be used to generate income. Craig Smith, 13113 Hadley Circle, stated the common septic system is not near the Axelson property and felt this should not be a factor. Smith felt it was the Cain's right to provide a place in his home for his father. Peltier closed the public hearing. Peliter made motion, Puleo seconded, to recommend approval of the special use permit for Mark and Sally Cain, to allow for an apartment to be part of their dwelling, under the conditions of the draft special use permit, adding that the apartment could only be occupied by a family member. All AYES. Motion carried.
