CUP Application Narrative <br /> April 15, 2014 <br /> City of Elk River <br /> Attn: Chris Leeseberg <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> RE: Conditional Use Permit for Home Occupation <br /> 11508 190th Lane NW, Elk River, MN <br /> Request <br /> My name is Julianne Will and my home address is 11508 190th Lane NW,Elk River, MN. I am <br /> requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a Conditional Home Occupation use per <br /> Section 30-801(d) of the City code. <br /> Background <br /> I have founded and operate a 501(c)3 non-profit organization named "The Clothing Exchange/ <br /> Molly's World Inc.". The point of our operation is to help people in need by not having to <br /> choose between buying clothing for themselves and their families, or buying other essential <br /> items needed in life. I currently operate out of the basement of my home, located at 11508 190th <br /> Ln.NW, Elk River, MN. <br /> The Clothing Exchange allows people to bring their gently used clothing and baby needs to my <br /> "shop"and trade their items for "new to them" items from my"shop". It is an item for item <br /> trade with no money changing hands. <br /> The items not utilized by families of my service are donated to one of 5 other non-profit charities <br /> located in Elk River and other surrounding communities. Every 20-30 days,we do a mass <br /> donation drop. We collect all of the individual charity items we have collected and deliver them <br /> to downtown Minneapolis and the surrounding areas we collect from, including Elk River. <br /> Operations <br /> In order for people to come to the "shop",they must set an appointment a day ahead of time. I do <br /> not allow "walk ins". Each appointment is scheduled approx. 1 hour a part. Some appointments <br /> are scheduled 1.5 hours a part, with no more than 2 appointments occurring at one time. <br />
