<br />Councilmember Howell replied she was thinking of the trucks but if someone is sitting quietly <br />working on something inside their building that would not be disruptive to the neighborhood. So <br />if it could be amended to include that if this passes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Heineman asked if the applicant could describe what manufacturing compared to <br />warehousing means in his setting because it is a broad term. <br /> <br />Mr. Hillman explained the manufacturing is like a table saw and a radio arm saw, like a smaller <br />version of a cabinet shop. He stated the assembling of it is gluing boxes, that is considered <br />manufacturing but is hand work which doesn’t require any equipment. <br /> <br />th <br />Kelly Schmidt, 6000 177 Lane, stated this process has been going on for so long because a 15,000 <br />square foot building wasn’t mentioned to the Fire Department because they have State codes that <br />need to be followed whether it is warehousing or not. She asked if the applicant has four businesses <br />and if they will be looking at operating four business out of that same building and just applying <br />for one or will he eventually be applying for the other three. She also asked if it is approved if the <br />applicant could be required to put some kind of screening, such as fencing, from the neighborhood <br />because it is very close to the neighbors. <br /> <br />Mr. Hillman replied they have already applied to put a full privacy fence along the whole back <br />north side to block it from the neighbors and have already planted about 25 trees. He stated he has <br />been partners with other businesses before but this is currently the only business he is in. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Howell, seconded by Councilmember Specht, to adopt alternative <br />number one Resolution #22-085 approving a Home Occupation Permit request with the <br />modifications noted in the architectural code analysis, with the applicant to work out reasonable <br />hours with City Staff understanding he may individually need to go in to work on the weekends. <br /> <br />Further discussion: <br />City Administrator Hagen asked Councilmember Howell if she wanted to address the <br />manufacturing or just warehousing aspect. Councilmember Howell replied she was thinking <br />alternative one addressed allowing both the warehousing and manufacturing and asked if that was <br />correct. City Administrator Hagen replied the resolution itself, that title, only calls out <br />warehousing so he asked for clarification. <br /> <br />Amended motion by Councilmember Howell, seconded by Councilmember Specht, to adopt <br />alternative number one Resolution #22-085 approving a Home Occupation Permit request with the <br />modifications noted in the architectural code analysis, with the applicant to work out reasonable <br />hours with City Staff understanding he may individually need to go in to work on the weekends, <br />and adding limited manufacturing as discussed with City Staff that falls within the HOP. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: <br />Councilmember Woestehoff commented this is a tough one. He stated he can see the need and <br />purpose for it but he couldn’t support it because it makes him nervous to allow a HOP in a building <br />that requires an architectural review, a handicap stall, a bathroom, and things like that. He stated <br />he understood the balance that the business, personnel, and volume may not be very high but this <br />City Council /July 12, 2022 <br />Page 8 of 22 <br /> <br />
