Jacob Johnson, 8351 160th 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 />
