property. <br />Permit/Licenses <br />The business is a registered s-corp with MN Department of Agriculture licenses for fertilizer (420044018) and <br />commercial pesticide application (420172269). <br />Options <br />Alternative 1: Approve the Home Occupation Permit (HOP) as originally requested. This would continue the <br />operation as -is. Staff is not supportive of this alternative, as the use is quite intensive and there is significant <br />outdoor storage. This alternative may disturb the peace of the neighborhood. <br />Alternative 2: Approve an amended Home Occupation Permit (HOP) allowing the storage of landscaping <br />materials, the use of the detached garage, and a limit to the number of equipment and vehicles on the property. Staff <br />does have some concerns with this alternative, but believes the City can place conditions on the use to ensure the <br />number of trips, vehicles, and equipment remains as approved and items not parked on the public streets in the <br />neighborhood. <br />Alternative 3: Deny the HOP. <br />Funding Source: <br />The Applicant is responsible for all costs related to this request. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends denying the application for a Home Occupation Permit for a landscaping business at 8351 160th <br />Avenue NW. This use will require additional maintenance of the neighborhood road ways at the cost of the public <br />for public facilities and services. Additionally, Staff has received complaints about the use and finds that the use is <br />outside of what one would typically find in a residential setting. Staff finds that the use is more compatible with a <br />commercial or industrial district. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend that the Planning Commission deny Resolution 421-175 approving a Home Occupation <br />Permit for a landscaping business at 8351 160th Avenue NW. <br />Land Use Application <br />Home Occupation Questionaire <br />Site Location May <br />Applicant Narrative <br />First Notice of Violation <br />Second Notice of Violation <br />Third Notice of Violation <br />Photos of Property Conditions <br />Resolution 421-175 <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Bruce Westby Bruce Westby 08/19/2021 12:45 PM <br />Form Started By: Bria Raines Started On: 06/14/2021 01:31 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 08/19/2021 <br />
