Chairperson's Explanation: The Planning Commission is an advisory body. One of the Commission's functions is to hold public hearings. In the matters concerned in these hearings, the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes all final decisions in these matters. 5. Sai Rossi 91011 Request for special use permit approval to conduct a home beauty shop operation in the lower level of the home at 3000 Quarles Road. 6. Patricia L. Hill 91012 Request for special use permit approval to operate a dance studio in the residence at 6906 Grimes Avenue North. 7. Other Business 8. Discussion Items 9. Adjournment Application No. 91011 continued a) The amount of the applicant's street frontage. b) The rights of adjacent residents to park on the street. C) Preservation of the residential character of the neighborhood. With respect to these points, the applicant's property has ample frontage and the parking of one or even two cars on the street should not impede other people's rights or threaten the residential character of the neighborhood. The Commission may wish to discuss this matter in light of public testimony and make a judgment as to whether on-street parking would be acceptable in this case. As to a temporary part-time employee, the City, within the last five years, allowed a non-resident employee at another home beauty shop at 63rd and Xerxes Avenue North. That employee was allowed for a limited period of time until the applicant received her shop i manager's license from the State. In this case, it is our understanding that the non-resident employee would not be employed on the premises on a regular basis, but would fill in when Mrs. Rossi could not make an appointment because of a trip or other absence. This seems like an acceptable arrangement as long as the salon remains a one-chair operation. Again, we would urge the Commission to discuss this matter in light of testimony and render a judgment as to whether a temporary, part-time employee is acceptable in this case. We will be prepared to develop language for conditions on these two issues should the Commission elect to recommend granting these two provisions. Another concern may be the number of hours being proposed - 58. This is a high number of hours if the business is constant, which is not likely. It may be that Mrs. Rossi will wish to utilize her temporary, part-time employee on a more regular basis for some of these hours. This should be explored with the applicant. What must be stressed in the conditions is that the salon operate on an appointment only basis. Recommendation Altogether, the application is generally in order and approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The special use permit is granted only for a home beauty shop as proposed in the applicant's letter dated June 27, 1991. The use may not be altered or expanded in any way without first securing an amendment to this special use permit. 7-25-91 2 Application No. 91011 continued 2. The beauty shop shall operate on an appointment-only basis. Hours of operation shall be from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays. 3. The applicant shall provide the City with a current copy of the State shop license prior to issuance of the special use permit. 4. The applicant shall obtain required permits for plumbing and ventilation work. 5. The applicant shall install a 10 lb. fire extinguisher in the room of the beauty shop. 6. There shall be no more than 10 people in the basement area at any given time. 7. Parking 8. Employee Submitted by, Gary Shallcross Planner Approved by, Ronald A.

Standards for Special Use Permits A special use permit may be granted by the City Council after demonstration by evidence that all of the following are met: (a) The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will promote and enhance the general welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, or comfort. (b) The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. (c) The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. (d) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress and parking so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. (e) The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. 3. Conditions and Restrictions The Planning Commission may recommend and the City Council may impose such conditions and restrictions upon the establishment, location, construction, maintenance and operation of the special use as deemed necessary for the protection of the public interest and to secure compliance with requirements specified in this ord- inance. In all cases in which special use permits are granted, the City Council may require such evidence and guarantees as it may deem necessary as part of the conditions stipulated in connec- tion therewith. 4. Resubmission No application for a special use permit which has been denied by the City Council shall be resubmitted for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the final determination by the City Council; except that the applicant may set forth in writing newly discovered evidence of change of condition upon which he relies to gain the consent of the City Council for resubmission at an earlier time. 5. Revocation and Extension of Special Use Permits When a special use permit has been issued pursuant to the pro- visions of this ordinance, such permit shall expire without further action by the Planning Commission or the City Council unless the applicant or his assignee or successor commences work upon the sub- ' ject property within one year of the date the special use permit is granted, or unless before the expiration of the one year period the applicant shall apply for an extension thereof by filling out and submitting to the Secretary of the Planning Commission a "Special Use Permit" application requesting such extension and paying an additional fee of $15.00. Special use permits granted pursuant to the provisions of a prior ordinance of Brooklyn Center shall expire within one year of the effective date of this ordinance if construction upon the sub- ject property P ursuant to such special use permit has not commenced within that time. In any instance where an existing and established special use is abandoned fora period of one year, the special cial use permit re- lated thereto shall expire one year following the date of abandon- ment. 1 J i SAI ROSSI 3000 Quarles Road Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55429 Phone 566 - 5329 MEMO TO: Brooklyn Center Planning Commission 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, Minneosta 55430 From: Mrs. Sai Rossi Subject : Application for the operation of a Cosmetology Salon in my home. Date: June 27 , 1991 Enclosed is the application for a special use permit for the operation of a Cosmetology Salon in my home . The salon will have only one chair. . I have the proper Cosmetologist Manager license from the State of Minnesota . The license was issued on June 4, 1991 and expires on December 31, 1994 . The license term can be extended by a renewal application in 1994 . The salon will be located in a room that is four steps down from the entry level of the split entry home . I have enclosed a sketch ' of the entry and the room for your use in evaluating this application. Please note that there is a coat closet and rest room facilities on the entry level for use by customers . There is space for four cars to park on the driveway. However, as a courtesy to my customers I would appreciate the approval of street parking since some people feel more comfortable parking on the street instead of in a driveway. I live at the end of Quarles road where it ends at the point where Xerxes crosses Freeway 494 and 694 . The only exit is a half mile loop with 66th Avenue . Therefore, there is very little traffic on the street in front_ of my home . Also, the . curb along the front is approximately 130 feet long which would provide adequate parking space . A Plot Plan layout is enclosed. This plan shows that there is over 250 feet of curb on the front and east side of the property. Brooklyn Center Planning Commission The hours of operation will be from 10:00 AM to 8 :00 PM Monday through Friday and from 9 : 00 AM to 5 :00 PM on Saturday. I plan to work by appointments only. I presently plan to work by myself. However, Section 35-406 of the Brooklyn Center Zoning Ordinance, paragraph 4 permits the employment of one non-family member. It is my desire to have this approval so I can employ someone on a part time temporary basis if it is needed. I may install a small sign (2 . 5 square feet ) so my customers will be sure they are at the proper location. A smoke detector is located in the furnace room. I would greatly appreciate approval of my application. Then I will be able to spend more time with my children and will be able to reduce child care costs . Thank you for your consideration.

Hill Location: 6906 Grimes Avenue North Request: Special Use Permit The applicant requests special use permit approval to operate a dance studio in the residence at 6906 Grimes Avenue North. The property in question is zoned R1 and is bounded on the west by Grimes Avenue North and on the north, east and south by single- family homes. This house will become a corner lot on 69th when the 69th Avenue North upgrade project is completed. Group lessons are classified as a special use home occupation under the City's Zoning Ordinance. Applicant's Submittal The applicant has submitted a letter (attached) in which she briefly describes her proposed home occupation. She proposes to open a dance studio for children, but states that no on-street parking will be necessary since students will be dropped off and picked up by their parents. Total actual class time would be 10-15 hours per week. No more than six (6) children at a time would be in a class. She anticipates that she will have 25 to 50 students enrolled during the first year which would begin September 1, 1991. Classes would be held in a 24 ' x 24 ' family room that was added on to the back of the house in 1986. The room was formerly used for a home photography studio which received special use permit approval in 1985. No retail sales would be involved and no loud music used. Staff Comments The applicant has indicated on the application form that classes would be held from 10: 00 a.m. to 12 : 00 noon, two mornings a week and from 4 :00 p.m to 8: 00 p.m. two to three evenings per week. We would simply recommend limiting hours to between 10: 00 a.m. and 8: 00 p.m. to give the applicant flexibility in arranging her schedule of classes. Section 35-406 of the Zoning Ordinance limits classes to 10 students at a time. The applicant's proposal lives within this limit. Since these classes are for children, cars will not stay parked at the residence during the classes. Therefore, on-street parking should not be a problem. There is a large, two-car driveway on the property. A similar home occupation in the southeast neighborhood was approved in 1984. Recommendation Altogether, the proposed home occupation appears to be consistent with City ordinance and approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions: 7-25-91 1 Application No. 91012 continued 1. The special use permit is granted only for a home dance studio as proposed in the applicant's submittal of July 9, 1991. The use may not be altered or expanded in any way without first securing an amendment to this special use permit. 2 . The dance studio shall involve instruction of children in dance in classes not to exceed 10 children. 3. Hours of operation shall be between 10: 00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. exclusive of Sundays. 4. All parking associated with the home occupation shall be off-street on improved space provided by the applicant. 5. The applicant shall install a 10 lb. fire extinguisher in the room used for classes. 6. Noise from the dance classes shall not be perceptible beyond the property lines of the lot on which the classes are conducted. Submitted by, ( szes� Gary Shallcross Planner A proved by, Ronald A.
