Motion declared carried Home Occupation Ordinance Amendment Loren Kohnen reported that the Planning Commission had reviewed the prepared Home Occupation ordinance amendment and had recommended approval with a number of suggestions for change. Robert Mitchell stated that no employees, other than those living in a home, should be allowed. Philip Zietlow stated that there is a density factor to consider; that is, a home occupation on 80 acres will not impose as much impact on a neighborhood as one on a small lot. Ron Batty asked if there should be two categories; a permitted accessory use and one which requires a conditional use permit. Robert Mitchell stated that there should be a conditional use because if a nuisance is created the city would have enough leverage to control. Gary acromite asked what the difference was between outside employees working in a home and those working in a stable in a residential zone or what if a family employs a care- giver for children on a daily basis. Robert Mitchell stated that there is a burden on an area if outside employees are allowed. Loren Kohnen stated that pressure on spetic systems is being added if employees are allowed in a home. Gary Acromite asked if the intention of the ordinance is to eradicate home occupations. Robert Mitchell stated that he would limit traffic to deliveries and customers.

Robert Mitchell stated that some peculiar occupations could be listed at the end of the ordinance. 5 Philip Zietlow stated that the Planning Commission did not have a problem with one or two employees.

Ann Thies asked if such a list should be prepared. Ron Rogers asked if there were state laws regarding outside employees. Moved by Acromite, seconded by Thies to table the Home Occupation Ordinance amendment until January 21, pending receipt of information regarding implications if outside employees are allowed in a home. Motion declared carried William Busch, Variance Extension Loren Kohnen explained that William Busch has requested a one year extension of the setback variance he had gotten which allows him to construct a home at 2925 Willowood Farm. Ron Batty stated that the cities code does not allow approval to extend variances so a short amendment to the ordinance should be prepared if council wishes to grant extensions. Moved by Thies, seconded by Mitchell to authorize the city attorney to draft an amendment to the cities ordinance allowing for time extension for variances. Motion declared carried Rural Residential Classification Council reviewed the present rural residential zoning regulations regarding commercial recreation in a rural zone. Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Thies to direct the city attorney to prepare an ordinance amendment to the rural residential zoning with regards to recreation facilities and to submit it to the Planning Commission for their review.

Landfill Siting Robert Mitchell stated that Larry Redmond had reported that the landfill siting process will probably be allowed to end in August, that landfill sites may not necessarily have to be located in a county for that county, local communities may have very little means for objection to locations and restrictions in the Woodlake permit may not be binding. 16.
