<br />Mr. Holm stated the sewer and water hook ups were designed to accommodate multiple dwelling <br />units so he did not understand why a third hook up would be required to run to the street. He <br />thought the two hook ups would be adequate for three single family dwellings. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Himmer stated the concern was having one dedicated service serving <br />two homes in case of problems. Isolating services separately is easier to track the source of the <br />problem. <br /> <br />Vice Chairperson Levine asked if Mr. Holm had the staffletter and agreed with it. <br /> <br />Mr. Holm stated he did except for the concern with the third hook up. <br /> <br />Vice Chairperson Levine thought this looked pretty straight forward and the applicant can work <br />with staff though this process. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated even though he voted no on this at the BOA he appreciated the <br />applicant working with staff on bringing something back that would work in the City. <br /> <br />Case #2: <br /> <br />Request for a Home Occupation Permit; Case of Nathan Wattenhofer <br /> <br />Vice Chairperson Levine closed the regular portion of the Planning Commission meeting at 7:35 <br />p.m. in order to call the public hearing to order. <br /> <br />Public Hearin2 <br /> <br />Vice Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 7:35 p.m. <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik explained the City has received an <br />application from Nathan Wattenhofer for a home occupation permit to establish a specialty <br />fabrication operation in an attached accessory structure located at 17151 Baugh 8t. NW <br /> <br />Mr. Wattenhofer has one client, a national fitness chain, for which he fabricates and installs <br />custom parts. He is proposing to operate his specialty fabrication business within a portion of the <br />pole building. His business operation does not use any solvents and there would be no <br />exhausting of fumes to the outside, nor would there by any outside storage of materials. Mr. <br />Wattenhofer currently does not have any regular full-time employees; however, the parcel is <br />large enough (3 acres) that he would be eligible for one non-resident employee. <br /> <br />Vehicular traffic trips are not to exceed 2 trips per hour per standard business day or 16 trips <br />within a 24 hour period. The applicant does not anticipate approaching anything near this <br />threshold as customers would not be onsite and only occasionally are materials delivered there. <br />The business operation would occur between the hours of 7:00am and 4:00pm, Monday through <br />Friday, or as needed. <br /> <br />Planning Commission / April 3, 2008 <br />Page 3 of 21 <br />
