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 />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 />Vice Chairperson Levine asked if Mr. Holm had the staff letter and agreed with it. <br />Mr. Holm stated he did except for the concern with the third hook up. <br />Vice Chairperson Levine thought this looked pretty straight forward and the applicant can work <br />with staff though this process. <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 />Case #2: Request for a Home Occupation Permit; Case of Nathan Wattenhofer <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 />Public Hearing <br />Vice Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 7:35 p.m. <br />Presentation <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 St. NW <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 />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:OOam and 4:OOpm, Monday through <br />Friday, or as needed. <br />Planning Commission / April 3, 2008 <br />Page 3 of 21 <br />—163— <br />
