She indicated she wouldn't be opposed to an interim use permit with a firm <br /> sunset date providing Ms. Will a couple months to relocate her business. Ms. Rush <br /> also expressed concerns with Ms. Will having a garage sale last weekend. <br /> Ron Maas,Julie's father--stated that there is the potential for traffic and car doors <br /> to disrupt the neighbor's sleep even without a business next door. He explained he <br /> believes the goodness of the operation outweights the negative. <br /> Julie Will, applicant—explained she would like a Conditional Use Permit to <br /> continue her clothing exchange. She stated she is looking for a location but is seeking <br /> donations since she doesn't make any money in the clothing exchange. In response <br /> to Ms. Rush's concerns about the garage sale,Ms.Will stated that her and a friend <br /> held a garage sale over the weekend selling their personal items as a fundraiser for <br /> the clothing exchange. <br /> There being no one else to speak to this issue,Mayor Dietz closed the public <br /> hearing. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard questioned if Ms. Will is familiar with the proposed <br /> condition restricting her hours. Ms. Will stated yes, the hours listed as her current <br /> hours of operation. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard questioned how many neighbors spoke in opposition at <br /> the Planning Commission public hearing. Mr. Leeseberg stated a few residents <br /> expressed concerns with increased traffic and safety but did mention they noticed a <br /> significant drop in the traffic after the applicant began operating by appointment <br /> only. He noted that Ms. Rush also spoke at the Planning Commission hearing <br /> indicating her preference for parking to be limited to the street as the car doors <br /> shutting on the driveway are loud in her bedroom window. He stated Ms. Rush also <br /> suggested an interim use permit at that time but the applicant was not interested. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard stated he understands Ms. Rush's concerns about <br /> entitlement of her home but Ms. Will is also entitiled to use of her property. He <br /> believes the applicant is working with neighbors to address their concerns and a <br /> Conditional Use Permit is appropriate. <br /> Councilmember Motin suggested adding a condition that restricts the Conditional <br /> Use Permit to a clothing exchange operating under a 501 c3. He noted that he <br /> believes any home occupation impacts neighbors to some degree and that at this <br /> point this use isn't injurious to neighbors. Ms.Will was agreeable to the additional <br /> condition. <br /> Moved by Councilmember Motin and seconded by Councilmember <br /> Westgaard to approve the conditional use permit for Julianne Will to operate a <br /> home occupation with the following conditions: <br /> P 0 f I R I I I T <br /> NATUREI <br />
