Jacob Johnson, 8351 1601h Avenue NW, stated that this has been going on since 2019 and did not <br /> believe he ever received a letter about this issue. He stated that he also reached out to staff to <br /> request a copy of the letter. He noted that he was provided a copy of a letter sent to the previous <br /> owners of the home related to a septic system. He stated that he is down to four employees, which <br /> reduces the number of trips. He stated that the business does not function at the same level in the <br /> winter, as they operate at a smaller capacity for plowing. He noted that there are no landscaping <br /> materials kept on site at this time. He stated that his application included the hours of 7 a.m. to 5 <br /> p.m. but stated that they are typically done for the day around 3 or 4 p.m. He noted that he has <br /> also cleaned up the outdoor trash items on the property. <br /> Chairperson Bauer stated that even with four employees,that would equate to eight trips. He asked <br /> the number of vehicles going out each day. <br /> Mr. Johnson replied that two vehicles go out each day. <br /> Chairperson Bauer asked if the landscaping material was planned to be stored on the left of the <br /> trees and received confirmation. He referenced a building shown on the aerial photograph and <br /> asked the purpose of that building. <br /> Mr. Johnson replied that is a personal shed. <br /> Commissioner Walker asked the resident's long-range plans for the business. <br /> Mr. Johnson stated that he would like to build another shop on the very west of the property, on <br /> the other side of the trees. He stated that if that meant he detached garage needed to be removed, <br /> he would. He stated that at that time, everything would be moved to the west side of the property. <br /> Commissioner Walker asked if there are woods to the west of the property for a bit before another <br /> home is encountered. <br /> Mr. Johnson confirmed that to be true. <br /> Commissioner Walker commented that if that occurred, no one would even know this business <br /> was back there unless they went back and looked. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy asked the purpose of the building. <br /> Mr. Johnson replied that he would store equipment inside the building. <br /> Chairperson Bauer asked the largest structure size that would be allowed. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that staff could look into that but would need the square <br /> footage of the existing accessory buildings to provide an accurate number. <br /> Commissioner Gengler asked the number of work-related vehicles on the property. <br /> Planning Commission/August 26, 2021 <br /> Page 5 of 26 <br />
