Home My WebLink About1983 09-15 PCP Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 83048 Applicant: Rose Lillestol Location: 5218 Paul Drive Request: Special Use/Home Occupation The applicant requests special use permit approval to conduct a dog--grooming business in the basement of the residence at 5218 Paul Drive. The property in question is zoned RI and is surrounded by other single-family homes . Staff regard dog-grooming as similar in nature to barber, and beauty services which are specifi- cally listed in the definition of a special home occupation. The applicant has submitted a letter (typed copy attached) in which she explains that the work area would occupy a 10' x 12' area in the basement of the home and that a fire extinguishes would be provided. She notes there will be no outside employees and that hours of operation, will be' 9 :00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.. to 9:00 p.r,i. , Monday through Friday (she stresses that the business would be part-time, about 20 hours per week) . Mrs . Lillestol states that equipment would include a small animal electric clippers , a blow dryer, a small vacuum cleaner, laundry tubs and miscellaneous hand tools . Clients will enter the side of the house and bring pets only to the kitchen. Customers will not be allowed in the work area. Parking is available in a one-car driveway. Mrs . Lillestol does not expect more than one car to be present at a time. Appointments are normally long enough apart that it is very unlikely that two cars will be present at the same time. Therefore, any on-street parking associated with the home occupation should be rare and brief. Dog-grooming operations , unlike barber and beauty shops , are not licensed by the State. The City Sanitarian has recommended that there be no overnight boarding of animals which would place the business in the category of a kennel . He has also recommended that the applicant have a contract with a licensed refuse hauler to insure that refuse will in fact be removed from the premises . Staff see no conflict with the standards for a special use permit or the provisions of Section 35-406 governing special home occupations. Approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions : 1. The special use permit is issued to the applicant as operator of the business and is nontransferable. 2. The permit is subject to all applicable codes , ordinances , and regulations and any violation thereof shall be grounds for revocation. 3. The hours of operation shall be 9 :00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. , Monday through Friday. Services shall be provided on an appointment-only basis. 4. All parking associated with the home occupation shall be off- street on improved space provided by the applicant. 5. A 5 lb. fire extinguisher shall be installed in the work 'area in the basement. 6. No overnight boarding of animals shall be permitted. 9-15-83 Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. £33049 Applicant: Erland Shelley Location: .5200-70th Avenue North Request: Special Use' Permit/Home Occupation The applicant requests special use permit approval to engage in taxidermy in the garage of the residence at 52.00-70th Avenue North. Home occupations which involve the use of an accessory', structure are by definition in the special use category. The property in questio is zoned R1 and is bounded by single-family homes on the east and west, by The P nds Townhouses on the north, and by 70th Avenue North on the south. The applicant has submitted a brief letter (attached) describing the proposed home occupation. Mr. Shelley explains that he has a federal and a state license to do taxidermy and wishes to, use his attached garage as a work shop. He states that he has weekly refuse dispoisal service by Brooklyn Disposal Company. Carcasses are frozen until disposed of. He states that the home occupation involves no chemicals other than those normally found in a home or garage. Mr. Shelley points out that he has a three car driveway and that customers would bring work on an appointment basis . He notes that 610% of his work is for himself and that he does no retail sale of his work. He also states that there is no noise involved in the work. In addition, the. applicant has two fire extinguishers .in the garage. Typically, home occupations involving garages are limited to no more than one half the floor space of the ',garage so that a car can still be parked in it or it may be used for storage, acces.sory to the residential use. The garage, in this case, is a single-car, 14' x 22" garage which cannot normally contain more than one car. The applicant has indi ated that he will do the work on tables along the side of his garage and will still park his car or van in .the garage. No set hours of operation have been proposed and staff feel it is unnecessary to set them for what is essentially a hobby craft home occupation with no noise impact. In general , we see no conflict with the standards for a special use permit, nor with the ordinance provisions relating to home occupations. Approval is, therefore recommended, subject to at least the following conditions : 1. The special use permit is issued to the applicant as operator and is nontransferable. 2. The special use permit is subject to ..all applicable codes , ordinances , and regulations and any violation thereof shall be grounds for revocation. 3. The home occupation may not occupy more than 50% of the accessory structure. 4. A fire extinguisher of at least 5 lb. capacity shall be kept in the garage. " 5. All parking associated with the home occupation shall be off-street on space provided by the applicant. 9-15-83 Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 83050 Applicant: Q Petroleum Location: 1505-69th Avenue North Request: Special UsePermit The applicant requests special use permit approval to rent up to three U-Haul trailers at the gasoline service station at 1505-69th Avenue North. Trailer rental in conjunction with a gasoline service station or motor vehicle repair garage or auto wash is a special use in the C2 zoning district. The property in question is zoned C2 and is bounded, by Humboldt Courts Apartments on the west and south , by Humboldt Avenue North on the east and by 69th Avenue North on the north. The land across Humboldt and 69th is zoned C2. Trailer rental is a special use at this location, provided there is adequate trailer parking space. The site presently has P parking stalls , including four stalls along the outer edge of the paved area, two along Humboldt and two along 69th Avenue North. In addition, there is an open area behind the building where at least three trailer parking stalls could beaccommodated with site modifications. The trailers will have interior dimension$ of 4' x 8' , 5' x 8' and 5' x 10' . The longest trailer is 16' in exterior length and should fit easily into a standard size parking space. There appears to be adequate parking space on the site for the three trailers re- quested, using the "proof-of-parking' concept. Because most customers stop at the gas pumps rather than parking in the striped stalls , there is unused parking area on the site most of the time. Therefore, staff see no problem with parking the trailers in established parking stalls , so long as space is available on site to store the trailers when all the stalls are demanded by customers. It is rec- commended that the applicant acknowledge in writing that he will install additional parking stalls , meeting all ordinance requirements upon a determination by the City that congestion warrants their installation. The applicant has submitted no written matter regarding the standards for a special use- permit,. but staff see no conflict with the standards presented by this use. Approval is, therefore, recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes , ordinances , and regulations and any violation thereof shall be grounds for revocation. 2. Special use permit approval acknowledges the storage on site of not more than three trailers , none-of which may exceed 20' in total length or 9' in total width. The trailers shall not be stored along the Humboldt Avenue or 69th Avenue greenstrip. 3. Special use permit approval acknowledges the site plan approved under Application No. .83019 as providing "proof-of-parking" with adequate parking space for up to three trailers. The applicant shall acknowledge in writing, prior to City Council consideration of this application, that he will install additional parking meeting all zoning ordinance requirements upon a .determination by the City that congestion warrants the installation of all or part of the required parking for this use. a-15-83 I 1 1
