City Administrator Hagen stated that a better gauge for this would be looking at past year budgets. <br /> <br />There was a consensus of the Council <br /> <br />2.04: Temporary Increase of Hours to Planning Administrative Assistant <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen reviewed the Staff report and shared that City Planner McCann has <br />turned in his resignation. He shared the request for the Council to temporarily authorize the <br />increase of the Planning Administrative Assistant hours to 29 hours per week. He added that they <br />plan to have the City Planner position posted by the end of the week. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove wished City Planner McCann well. She shared her support for this plan. <br /> <br />There was a consensus of the Council. <br /> <br />2.05: Discuss Home Occupation Permits <br /> <br />City Planner McCann reviewed the Staff report concerning Home Occupation Permits and <br />potential code revisions. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma asked if there was a team that will be working on this and coming up with <br />recommendations. <br /> <br />City Planner McCann stated that they are looking for Council direction. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove shared that for having businesses in townhomes, most covenants do <br />not allow them. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked if they were suggesting that the City should deny these permits based <br />on the fact that there is potentially a covenant. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that even if the City gives the permit, the covenant board can <br />still penalize the individual. She said this would be a waste of time for the City. She suggested that <br />the applicant first check their covenant documents to determine if it would even be allowed. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen added that Staff does make these suggestions and the applicants do not <br />even realize that they need to look into these things. He stated that the direction from Council that <br />they are looking for is whether or not they would want to allow these things if there were not <br />covenants or HOAs that restricted them. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell stated that the City should allow for opportunities for everyone and the <br />applicant would then have to work things out with their HOA. She stated that she would hate to <br />see a low impact business in an accessory building go away. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma stated that in the scenario where there is manufacturing and trucks coming and <br />going it can become more disruptive and would be considered a commercial operation. <br />City Council Work Session / May 9, 2023 <br />Page 7 of 10 <br /> <br />
