<br />Lee Scarborough, 15760 Azurite Court stated she is a stay at home mom and there are not trucks <br />coming and going all day long. The applicant leaves in the morning and returns in the evening. <br />We don't see anything from our back yard or from the front or street. He keeps it immaculate. <br /> <br />Chairperson Van Scoy asked if the issues with the use of the property have been addressed; the <br />illegal bum and dumping. <br /> <br />Curt Kriens, 15740 Azurite Court, the applicant stated there was some burning of his siding and <br />that was what the fire department was concerned with, not the burning of the stumps. I buried <br />some concrete in the back to stabilize the ground and both issues have been resolved. <br /> <br />Chairperson Van Scoy asked about the hours of operation. <br /> <br />Mr. Kriens stated he would like to see the hours adjusted to 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. to allow for <br />drive time to job sites that are further away. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rogers asked how many employees he has and Mr. Kriens responded that he <br />works with subcontractors. <br /> <br />Chairperson Van Scoy stated it seems that the major issue is the outside storage. He had driven <br />by and it is very well screened as others have said. <br /> <br />Mr. Kriens stated he has cleaned up a lot of the outside storage since Associate Planner Gladhill <br />had been out. In the winter months most of the equipment would be stored inside. He does have <br />miscellaneous brick stored outside. He stated he could do some more cleaning up, but doesn't <br />want to lose all his outside storage. . <br /> <br />Planning Manager Miller stated the issue is that this is a residential district and a full scale <br />business is being operated out of the home. The current neighbors might not have any issues, <br />however, they may move and the new neighbors may have an issue so we have to take into <br />account that there is an impact on the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Mr. Kriens stated he has been doing this business for eighteen years and because one person <br />complains, here we are. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated the Fire Department and Police Department responded to an <br />illegal bum and it is not because of neighborhood complaints that brought this to the City's <br />attention. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy clarified it was a complaint generated by the City. Associate Planner <br />Gladhill stated yes, it was an illegal bum that initiated the complaint. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy stated the City is not going out looking for these issues, however, when <br />they come to the attention of the City they have to be addressed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer asked the applicant what is done onsite that makes this a home occupation. <br /> <br />Planning CommissionlNovember 5, 2009 <br />Page 3 of7 <br />
