It is an added burden to what would be expected of the developer. From a developer's marketing standpoint they were going to landscape it anyway. Mr. Williams, the builder, commented they would like to work in as much landscaping and trees as they can. The perimeter trees serve as a buffer along the outside. Mr. Schneider said he had a solution. If the developers agreed to add one tree per space between the buildings it would accomplish the boulevard issue. Then work with staff in relocating some of the exterior trees to make up the difference. Staff could say what would be appropriate. Vote taken signified ayes by Criego, Loftus and Kuykendall. Nay by Wuellner. MOTION PASSED. MOTION BY LOFTUS, SECOND BY CRIEGO TO APPROVE 96-05PC WITH AN AMENDMENT BY COMMISSIONER CRIEGO THAT TREES BE ADDED TO THE BOULEVARD USING THE TOTAL TREES WITHIN THE PERIMETER. Vote taken signified ayes by Loftus, Criego, Wuellner and Kuykendall. MOTION CARRIED. MOTION BY LOFTUS, SECOND BY WUELLNER TO ACT FA VORABL YON ORDINANCE 96-10.

MICHAEL LEEK, ASSOCIATE PLANNER YES ---X-NO MARCH 25, 1996 PRESENTER: PUBLIC HEARING: DATE: INTRODUCTION: The Planning Department has received an application for a Home Occupation Permit from Leslie Huntington of 4087 Raspberry Ridge Road NE. The applicant requests approval to operate a floral design business. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The subject property is developed with a single-family house with attached garage. The paved driveway is large enough to accommodate delivery vehicles or cars off-street. STAFF ANALYSIS: The basic premise of the City's home occupation regulations is that such occupations can be permitted which would not disrupt the surrounding neighborhood. The Ordinance at Section 6.8 provides 6 criteria by which requests for home occupation permits should be evaluated. These criteria, and staff s evaluation of the request against the criteria, are set forth below. A. The home occupation shall be carried on by a member of the family residing in the dwelling unit with not more than one employee who is not a part of the family. This occupation would be carried on solely by the applicant who resides on the property. There would be no other employees of the occupation at this time. Thus this criterion is met. B. The home occupation shall be carried on wholly within the principal or accessory structures. 96021PC.DOC 1 16200 ~ Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER The design and creation of floral arrangements in connection with the occupation would be carried on wholly within the fourth level of the existing split-level house. Consultations with clients would be held largely off-site. Thus this criterion is met. C. Exterior displays or signs other than those permitted under 6.4, exterior storage of materials and exterior indication of the home occupation or variation from the residential character of the principal structure shall not be permitted. The City's Sign Ordinance, adopted in December of 1994, does not permit business signs in residential areas. D. Objectionable noise, vibration, smoke, dust, electrical disturbance, odors, heat or glare shall not be produced. The proposed occupation is not expected to produce objectionable noise, vibration, smoke, dust, electrical disturbance, odors, heat or glare. E. Articles not produced on the premises shall not be sold on the premises without a specified permit. The applicant proposes to sell only her services as a floral designer, and arrangements which she has created on-site for her clients. Thus this criterion is met. F. The home occupation shall not create excessive automobile traffic within the neighborhood. The only traffic expected to be generated by the proposed business would be the trips to meet with clients or for occasional deliveries of fresh or silk flowers and other materials. Any need for off street parking can be accommodated by the existing driveway. Thus this criterion is met. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the home occupation permit for a floral design business at 4087 Raspberry Ridge Road NE. as submitted or with conditions deemed appropriate by the Planning Commission. 2. Table or continue the item for specific reasons. 3. Deny the home occupation permit because it is inconsistent with the Zoning Ordinance criteria. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval with the following conditions; 96021PC.DOC RML 2 1. No off-site parking. On-site parking for a maximum of two (2) customer vehicles must be provided. 2. No exterior signs identifying the business, its products, or services. 3. No sale of products other than the applicant's floral designs and design services on the premIses. 4. No employees beyond the applicant/operator and one (1) employee residing off-premises. 5. The home occupation permit may not be sold, transferred or assigned. 6. The Home Occupation permit is subject to all applicable ordinance and legal requirements. Violation of any ordinance or legal requirement shall be deemed grounds for immediate revocation of the Home Occupation Permit. 7. The Home Occupation may be reviewed annually by the City. 9602IPC.DOC RML 3 HO qL, - 0;2/ PIDt (y.t)~,~Lf- Dd- (-0 CIT'I OF PRIOR LAKE APPLICATION roR HCME OCCDPATICN pERMIT , '\ Appl icant : L_{'<~,L....I.., H t l ,,,",,\. t (\ ( . --\-c.V\ Address: tJn ~lKC'~t?h,VI\1' ~2\A(.tJ e.d fJ ,y Hane Phone: ',';;(-;1.; ::;)C8qlj Work Phone: _n{...-::100~ Property o..mer: ':"),~d\V i,~, r,\')r,~ Address: Hane Phone: Work Phone: Legal Description of Site: L.o+- 3 i (:iAL4, 4.kCDvt4 Aivtill to ~Wt~ ~' Propety Identification Number (Pm): I Present Zoning: () . ~~I\ t.: ,,\) Reasons for Request: t....~Cl.M.h.,,<:. ,~\.....:;,Cr~ ~o.- ~~<:;.,~~ cJ SUBMISSION RIDUIREMENl'S: (A) Ccmpleted application form.
