<br />Mr. Goede stated that the only time he uses a chipper on site is if he is cutting his own trees. He <br />stated that the diseased trees are brought to Sunny Acres Park in Anoka for the winter. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen asked about the pictures of the wood on his property. <br /> <br />Mr. Goede stated that he brings back oak wood to his property to sell as firewood to people, so <br />he splits the wood. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen asked how often he ran the log splitters. <br /> <br />Mr. Goede stated that he runs it once or twice a week, but it is not very noisy. He noted that he <br />could not even hear it from the house to the woodpile. He noted that he no longer has any more <br />employees. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen asked why the City got complaints now about noise. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Miller stated that there were no documented complaints in <br />the past. She stated that neighbors had contacted the City to get information on home <br />occupations. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen asked if the $2,000 is adequate to remove the building. <br /> <br />Community Development Director stated that this is to cover attorney's fees if they do not <br />follow through with removing the structure. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen asked if there was a way to protect the City adequately, with relation to <br />costs. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that he thinks $2,000 would be adequate to get a court order. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that if the court ordered it to be done, the City would simply assess it to the <br />property. <br /> <br />Mr. Goede stated that it was his suggestion to tear down the existing horse barn because it is old <br />anyway. He stated that he plans to take it down himself, but he does not want to do it until the <br />stuff he has stored is taken out and moved into the new building. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Strommen, to adopt Resolution <br />#08-11-226, adopting Findings of Fact #0836, relating to the Applicant's request for a home <br />occupation permit, .and adopt Resolution #08-11-227 approving the Applicant's request for a <br />home occupation permit based on the findings of fact. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
