Chairperson Bauer <br />Motion Carried. <br />Chairperson Bauer closed the public hearing closed at 7:41 p.m. <br />Commission Business <br />Commissioner Walker asked the traffic counts on 161 st and Kangaroo Street. He stated that it <br />seems that in the case of the City, the traffic from the trucks and employees is a big deal. He noted <br />that he recently drove down 161st during Game Fair and found that to be a huge mistake. He was <br />unsure how eight trips from the business cause a large impact on the road. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that staff does not have that information available. She <br />agreed that Game Fair has a lot of traffic and noted that there is an overlay parking standard during <br />the two -week duration of the fair. She stated that staff could not approve the permit <br />administratively because of the number of trips and because of employees parking on the roadway. <br />Chairperson Bauer commented that the case did mention parking on the street. He asked if there <br />could be a condition that employees and business vehicles do not park on the street. <br />Mr. Johnson replied that currently there are no business vehicles parked on the street. He stated <br />that the employees have been parking on the street as he has not hauled in the class five material <br />to create a parking area. He stated that he does have approval to create the parking area but wanted <br />to wait to see if the Home Occupation Permit is approved before making that investment. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if the parking area would be near the second driveway in the back, <br />which was confirmed by the applicant. He also asked and received confirmation that there is not <br />landscaping material being stored outdoors at this time. He noted that the applicant has said that <br />his long-term vision would be to construct a building that could house the equipment as well. He <br />asked if there is an anticipated date for the structure. <br />Mr. Johnson replied that he would like to have that built within the next three years. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if the nuisance items have been cleaned up. <br />Zoning Code Enforcement Officer Raines confirmed that she has been to the site and the nuisance <br />items have been cleaned up. <br />Motion by Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to recommend that City <br />Council adopt Resolution #21-175 Approving a Horne Occupation Permit for a Landscaping <br />Business at 8351 160th Avenue NW, conditional upon the addition of the second driveway and off- <br />street parking area. <br />Further discussion <br />Planning Commission/ August 26, 2021 <br />Page 7 of 26 <br />
