City Council meeting of June 6, 1988 Paqe 3 SPECIAL USE PERMIT (M. PERRAULT) Mr. Mike Perrault has made application for a special use permit and variance for a home occupation at 1780ZN Henna Avenue North. The property in question is zoned agricultural, and is approximately 1.16 acres in size. The property is located in the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section .?, T31N, R21W, Washington County, Minnesota. The home -occupation issue involves only a request to store band equipment in the proposed storage building, and use his home telephone for answering questions involving his entertainment activities. The variance requested would allow Mr. Perrault to construct his storage building within 8' of the north property line (20' required) and within 27' of the road right-of-way (40' required). The Hugo City Council did grant a similar variance request to Mr. Perrault in 198• allowing the three -car garage to be constructed within 27' of the road right-of-way. Mr. Perrault has assured the city, in his narrative letter, that all activities on site will be limited to those requested in his application. Mr. Perrault informed the Planning Commission that his business office is located in Roseville, and it is only his intent to store the band equipment in the garage and allow members of the band to park their vehicles in his driveway when they meet there to pick up their equipment. With regard to Mr. Perrault's variance request, he states that because of the location of the existing, personal workshop, it would be very difficult to attach the storage building in an alternate location without cutting down some trees and locating the storage building farther from the road than is maintainable and usable for the purposes intended. It should be noted that the existing personal workshop identified on the site plan is currently closer to the property line than required by ordinance. The city staff recommended to the Planning Commission that Mr. Perrault consider locating the proposed storage building no closer to the property line than the existing personal workshop. The Planning Commission, in its recommendation for approval, disagreed with the staff recommendation, and recommended approval of the special use permit and granting of the variance for the front yard and side yard -setback as requested, subject to special conditions. Atkinson made motion, Peltier seconded, to approve the request of Michael Perrault for a special use permit for a home occupation at 17803 Henna Avenue, subject to the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the site plan and request as referenced in the applicant's narrative. 2. The use does not involve electrical or mechanical equipment that would change the fire rating of the building or the fire district in which the building is located. 3. The use does not cause a measurable increase in any of the utilities. 4. The use does not create noise, dust, vibrations, smell, smoke, glare, electrical interference, fire harzard, or any other hazard or nuisance to any greater or more frequent extent than that usually experienced in an average residential occupancy in the area in question under normal circumstances. 5. The use does not create visible or audible interference in radio or television receivers. 6. The use does not create greater vehicular/pedestrian traffic than is normal for the area in which it is located.
