Mr. Proft stated that his work is truck lettering, door and window lettering and signs such as real estate, and election candidates ect. Art Dunn asked how much room he would need for the supplies, and if there would be disposal of wastes?

Mr. Proft mentioned that he goes off the property for 90% of his business and that he does not do silk screening so there is very little waste. He mentioned using latex paints. John Hubbard asked if at his other location the fire marshall required anything special due to flameable products? Mr. Proft explained that at the most he would have a gallon can of terpentine and a gallon of mineral spirits. Motion by Ben Deemer, seconded by Gerry Zimmerman to recommend to the City Council to allow a C.U.P to Mr. William Proft for a home occupation permit to operate a sign business in a double garage at 8964 Hwy 10N.W. with Councils attention directed to sections 170.014 E(3) and 170.015J referring to exterior signs and storage.
