applicant is going to be parking any business on his parking pad. This is an additional restriction. She asked the applicant whether or not a resident would be able to sell a firearm without a permit. Mr. Trout, the applicant, replied that is correct. Minnesota allows personal sale of firearms to another person with the condition that the seller assumes the buyer is responsible and there are far less regulations. He stated it is legal in the state of Minnesota for someone to sell a pistol to an 18 year-old as long as the seller doesn't have reason to believe the buyer has intent to commit a crime. That is not the case with an FFL which requires an age limit of 21. He stated he has several requirements for sales but any resident is allowed to sell individually without a background check. Councilmember Heineman asked Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen if a home daycare would be a Level One or Level Two HOP. Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen replied he couldn't find the direct answer to that quickly but recalled the ordinance calls out different levels of HOP's some of which don't require a permit. He stated when businesses start to become more of a retail use that is when permits are going to start to be required. Councilmember Heineman commented it sounds like there is a process for business growth which is an HOP. Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen replied there is a scale of intensity identified of when a business would require a permit and when it would not. Councilmember Heineman commented resident opposition seems to revolve around the business being in a residential area and there is precedence already for this. He spoke to the resident's concern about individual rights and noted that there is a mechanism in place to respect individual right despite majority of resident opposition. He stated he would be supportive of this regardless of what is being sold. Councilmember Howell suggested some conditions of the resolutions, which Staff would have to work through. She suggested limiting trips to four per day, hours of operation being 1:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with no appointments being taken after 7:00 to ensure the last appointment is completed by 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and no Sunday appointments. She also suggested a change to item N regarding water supply and if a bathroom is provided but exceeds the square footage that be included. Motion by Councilmember Howell, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to Adopt Resolution 422-041 Amending Approving an Amendment to a Home Occupation Permit at 6025 177th Lane NW with the trips being limited to four per day, hours of operation being 1:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday with no appointments being taken after 7:00 to ensure the last appointment is completed by 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and no Sunday appointments, and inclusion of a restroom that is provided but exceeds the square footage.
