Councihnember Connolly suggested that staff explore the case stated by John Vevea. She stated that she agreed with Ms. Hanson regarding the City adding fees instead of adding a tax, but explained that the utility was a way of making the fee as fair as possible. Consensus was to direct staff to put together figures showing the impact if the cost were to be placed on the budget for taxes and what the tax would be for a residential property and for businesses at a certain value and put together some examples as indicated by John Vevea. Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to table action until the next City Council meeting to review calculations. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Zimmerman, Anderson; and Connolly. Voting No: None. Case #9: Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Hair and Tanning Salon in a Home; Case of Rebecca Wissler Community Development Director Frolik stated that on August 15, 2000, the City received an application from Rebecca Wissler for a conditional use permit for a home occupation to establish a hair and tanning salon in her home located at 6614 - 153rd Lane NW. Mrs. Wissler currently rents space for her hair salon in a multi-tennant commercial building on 167t~' Avenue. Mrs. Wissler is proposing to convert her attached garage to habitable space in the home and construct a detached garage. She is requesting a home occupation permit to establish a hair and tanning salon in the remodeled room. The room complies with the 20% restriction for the area of a home that can be devoted to a home occupation. Mrs. Wissler will be the sole employee and she expects to service approximately 30 clients per week. She is requesting hours of operation as follows: Monday 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tuesday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Wednesday 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Friday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Community Development Director Frolik noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the home occupation request by Rebecca Wissler to establish a hair and tanning salon in her home. Based upon the City Attorney's review subsequent to the Planning Commission, staff recommended that item #2 in the conditional use permit be changed to read "This Permit is perpetual in its duration as long as the terms imposed herein are complied with." This term is consistent with conditional use permits being granted for the life of the property. Councilmember Anderson inquired if there was a way to grant the permit so that the permit would not stay with the property if the Mrs. Wissler were to sell the property. Community Development Director Frolik replied that if the next homeowner is not a hairdresser and the permit is not used for 12 months,- the permit would be removed.
