Commissioner Anderson stated that he is debating his decision on this request. He stated that he likes the idea that the business is growing but adding another building would seem to support moving the business to a commercial lot. He asked if the applicant has spoken with staff about available commercial spaces. Chairperson Bauer noted that whether there is a business or not, there is a maximum square footage pertaining to accessory buildings that would regulate that activity. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl confirmed that to be true. Mr. Johnson stated that the additional building would not be related to business growth, but the intention to move things to the end of the street and stored indoors. He noted that he would be willing to remove the existing detached garage in order to accomplish that goal. Commissioner Gengler stated that she is also conflicted. She asked the guarantee that the business would not continue to grow in this location. She stated that she could support this business for this location but would not want to see it continue to grow larger in this location. Mr. Johnson stated that if the business grows out of that space, he would move it to a different location. Commissioner Gengler asked if there could be limitations on the home occupation. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl confirmed that conditions could be put upon the permit. She reviewed the regulations that are placed within the Home Occupation Permit. Zoning Code Enforcement Officer Raines stated that the number of roundtrips would be included in the peinrit regulations, noting that the application requested 16 trips. Commissioner Walker asked if the action on the table would satisfy what the applicant needs. Mr. Johnson confirmed that 16 would be the maximum number of trips. He stated that in the winter there is no traffic in and out unless it snows.
