P/I Form No. 19 Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 89020 Applicant: Mary Ladd Location: 6941 Willow Lane Request: Special Use Permit/Home Occupation The applicant requests special use permit approval to conduct a counseling business in the residence at 6941 Willow Lane. The property in question is zoned Rl and is bounded on the east by Willow Lane, and on the south, west, and north by single- family homes. Ms. Ladd does not yet occupy the home, but has a purchase agreement to buy it, subject to receiving special use permit approval. The City has considered home occupations involving customer traffic, such as a chiropractor's office or psychological counseling business to be a special use in the R1 zone. The applicant has submitted a letter ( attached) in which she describes the nature of the business, her professional background, a description of the home office space, and ability to comply with City ordinances. She states that she has maintained a private counseling practice at 2445 Park Avenue South in Minneapolis since 1984. Her clientele consists of persons seeking services for personal, relational, and family concerns (72% individual counseling, 6% family counseling, and 20% marital counseling). She states that she conducts her practice on an appointment only basis and that her business hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. She states that she schedules an average of 4.5 meetings per day. She notes that her clientele are, for the most part, professional persons addressing normal living issues. Regarding her professional background, Ms. Ladd states that she received her B.A. in Social Work from the College of St. Catherine in 1974 and her Master of Social Work from the University of Minnesota in 1983. She notes that she does some teaching in addition to her counseling practice. She also points out that she is seeking a license from the State of Minnesota as an Independent Clinical Social Worker and as a Marriage and Family Counselor. Such licensing is a new requirement resulting from legislation passed in 1988. Ms. Ladd goes on to indicate that the space to be used for the home occupation is presently an 18' x 24' family room with an adjoining 1/2 bath. Entrance to the room is directly from the front door of the house. She expects no need for structural alterations. Ms. Ladd also points out that there is a two car driveway and an extra cobblestone parking area adjacent to the driveway. She adds that there will be no equipment used other than normally found in the home; there will be no retail sales; and no employment of other persons. Staff see no problems with the proposed home occupation. A similar type of home occupation was approved last year on O'Henry Road in the Central Neighborhood (Dean Arnott, Application No. 88012, 3313 O'Henry Road, psychological counseling). We believe the special use permit standards from Section 35-220 of the Zoning Ordinance can be met in this case. The home occupation will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort. It will not be injurious to other property or substantially diminish property values in the neighborhood. The home occupation will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property. Finally, adequate means exist for ingress, egress, and parking so that there should be no traffic congestion in the public streets. 7-27-89 -1- Application No. 89020 continued In general, the application appears to be in order and approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The special use permit is granted only for the specific use proposed by the applicant. The use may not be altered or expanded in any way without first securing an amendment to this special use permit. 2. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes ordinances and regulations. Any violation, thereof, may be grounds for revocation. 3. Special use permit approval acknowledges use of an 18' x 24' room and adjoining half bath as being used for the home occupation. This is deemed to be an incidental and secondary use of the premises. No greater area within the home is acknowledged by this permit. 4. Clients shall be served on an appointment only basis between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. 5. All parking associated with the home occupation shall be off- street on improved space provided by the applicant. 6. The premises shall be inspected by the Building Official and any necessary safety modifications required by him shall be completed prior to the issuance of the special use permit. 7. A copy of the applicant's state license as an Independent Clinical Social Worker shall be filed with the City Planning and Inspection Department. 7-27-89 -2- MARY CASEY LADD, M.S.W. 2445 Park Avenue South Minneapolis, Minnesota 55404 • 874-1707 July 16, 1989 Mr. Gary Shallcross City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430 Dear Mr, Shallcross, I am requesting the Brooklyn Center Planning Commission recommend the issuance of a home occupation special use permit to be used at 6941 Willow Lane North, Brooklyn Center. My husband, Gary Bowman and myself, signed a purchase agreement on this property July 15, 1989. The closing date is contingent upon the granting of a special use permit. Based on our July 14, 1989 phone conversation, it is my understanding the Planning Commission requests the following information in order to formulate a decision: A. Nature of Business B. Professional Background C. Office Space Description D. Ability to Comply with City Ordinances Section 35-220 SPECIAL USE PERMITS and Section 35-405 ADDITIONAL REQUIRE- MENTS FOR HOME OCCUPATION. These concerns are addressed below. A. NATURE OF BUSINESS I have maintained a private counseling practice at 2445 Park Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota since 1984. My clientele consist of persons seeking services for personal, relational and family concerns. 72% Individual Counseling 6% Family Counseling 20% Marital Counseling I conduct my practice on an appointment only basis. It is my intention to continue this arrangement at 6941 Willow Lane. My business hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday. On average,I schedule 4.5 meetings per day, My clientele are, for the most part, professional persons addressing normal living issues. B. PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND I was granted a Badhelor of Art degree in Social Work from the College of St. Catherine, St. Paul in 1974. I received my Master of Social Work degree from The University of Minnesota in 1983. I was employed as a family counselor in a family crisis center from 1974-1984 at which time I began my private practice. In addition to my counseling practice, I also teach at The College of St. Catherine, am a national trainer/consultant for The Johnson Institute and have provided professional consultation and training for such organizations as The Minneapolis Y.M.C.A., Minneapolis Public Schools and Fairview -Deaconess Hospital. My application for license in Page Two the State of Minnesota as an Independent Clinical Social Worker and as a Marriage and Family Counselor are currently being considered by the newly formed Minnesota Board of Social Work and Marriage and Family Therapy. This Board is a newly formed board as a result of legislation passed in the 1988 legislative session. I am among the first professionals in either of these disciplines to be able to apply for licensure in this state. C. DESCRIPTION OF HOME OFFICE SPACE It is my intention to use the room designated as the family room for the office space. This is a 24 x 18 foot room with an adjoining � bath. Entrance to this room is very accessible as the front door opens directly into this room. To operate my practice in this room, no alterations to the existing home are required either interiorly or exteriorly. Access to the room from the off-street parking area is direct. D. ABILITY TO COMPLY WITH CITY ORDINANCES The proposed home occupation will not alter the residential atmosphere of the neighborhood. Clients will arrive and depart on an appointment only basis. There is ample off-street parking in both the wide double car driveway and on the extra cobblestone parking area adjacent to the driveway. No equipment other than that customarily found in a residential dwelling will be used. No retail sale of merchandise produced off the lot will be involved. No employment of other persons will occur. It is my hope that I have adequately addressed the necessary points. I will be in contact with you as this process proceeds. The date of closing is scheduled for August 30, 1989. Be assured I will assist you and the Planning Commission in any way possible. I can be contacted at my office 874-1707 or home 529-5571. Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to being a Brooklyn Center resident. Sincerely, Mary Ca ey Ladd, M.S.W., A.C.S.W. _ W H AVE. N.CAI 4 R5 a c� 9 I v a —�— — 73RD AVE. N. 1`�R\ [RICC ; I) ITLNO AVE. N.
