Vernon Herting Mr. Nereson reminded the Council that he asked them at the last meeting to think about how they feel home occupations shoUld be handled and pro- pose some alternative ideas. Councilman Gamec felt that there should be no retail business, no ex- cess traffic, and no outside storage and that some kind of nuisance ordinance should be established. Mayor Cox feels there should be no business whatsoever in a residential area and feels that the ordinance is not restrictive enough, He asked Mr. Nereson if he felt the ordinance Ramsey has is sufficient to handle the job. Mr. Nereson indicated that it was his opinion that requiring home occupations to 9o through the conditional use permit process gives the City adequate control to insure proper development, He added that the Planning & Zoning Commission had also recommended this approach, There was general discussion of a sentence in the ordinance which indi- cated home occupations are to be carried wholly within the principal. structure. The concensus of the Council, except for Councilman Mickelson, was to leave the sentence in the ordinance.
