She indicated City Code restricts home occupation <br />to 20% of the gross floor area of the home, and the room in which the home occupation will take <br />place is significantly less than 10% of the principal dwelling floor area. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Geisler stated the operation hours would be primarily Monday - Friday with <br />the last appointment scheduled for no later than 9:00 p.m., unless under an emergency situation. <br />She indicated the in-holne chiropractic business will be secondary to Ms. Pickhardt's' main <br />employment at Abeler Chiropractic office. She noted the City recently issued a home occupation <br />permit for a massage therapist with similar hours and number of amicipated clients during a <br />week. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Ms. Pickhardt, 15751 Potassium stated she would like to add some statistics. She indicated she <br />averaged only approximately 10 clients per month at home, as most of her patients have <br />transfen'ed to Anoka. She noted she had a home occupation permit in Champlin for six to seven <br />years, and most of her neighbors never ka~ew it unless they were a client. <br /> <br />P2 <br /> <br />Planning Commission/May 6, 2004 <br /> Page 2 of 22 <br /> <br /> <br />
