Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 7:02 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />City Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating through the Code Enforcement program, <br />the City became aware of a Home Occupation being operated at 14920 Chameleon Street NW. <br />In response to Notice of Violation, the City received an application for a Home Occupation <br />Permit to operate Pipestone Deliveries, a frozen foods sales and delivery business from the <br />subject property. Due to the number of `non-resident' employees (2) and the fact that there is <br />exterior evidence of the Home Occupation (vehicles) this request is subject to review by the <br />Planning Commission and action by the City Council. Staff reviewed the request in further <br />detail, noting the applicant was working to find a commercial site and recommended approval of <br />the Home Occupation Permit. <br />Citizen Input <br />Sharon White, 14921 Chameleon Street NW, explained the applicant has improved the yard and <br />house greatly over the past three years. She fully supported the home occupation. <br />Abdelfettah Benzoubair, 14920 Chameleon Street NW, discussed his home occupation in further <br />detail with the Commission. It was his hope to expand his business to a commercial site in the <br />near future. He thanked the Commission for considering his request. <br />Commissioner Bauer asked how long the employee vehicles were parked onsite along with the <br />vans. Mr. Benzoubair estimated there was a 20 to 30 minute span each morning and evening. <br />Commissioner Bauer recommended striking the trips per hour restriction within the Findings of <br />Fact. City Planner Anderson supported this recommendation. <br />Commissioner VanScoy inquired if the applicant would be placing any screening on his property. <br />Mr. Benzoubair explained he would be placing a fence along the side of his garage that would <br />screen 50% of the vans. <br />Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Nosan, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners VanScoy, Nosan, Bauer and <br />Maul. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Brauer. <br />Chairperson Levine closed the public hearing closed at 7:13 p.m. <br />Commission Business <br />Planning Commission/December 4, 2014 <br />Page 2 of 9 <br />
