Elk River Planning Commission October 27, 1992 Page 3 . official has inspected the site and is working with the property owner regarding building codes. Commissioner Minton asked why staff had recommended that the hours of operation be different from that which the ordinance allowed. Ms. Szklarski remarked that the ordinance spells out hours of operations for permitted home occupations which typically do not involve customer traffic. She feels the limited hours should be enforced due to customer traffic. It was a consensus of the Planning Commission that due to the proposed location of the business, traffic would not be a major concern, therefore, the hours of operation outlined in the code (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) should be allowed with this use. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST BY JULIE SCHULZE AND TERESA LAWSON CITING STAFF'S MEMO AS WELL AS THE SEVEN STANDARDS FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS: 1.

THAT THIS USE BE REVIEWED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS BY STAFF AND THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW THE REQUEST EVERY 3 YEARS TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT ON THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 7-0. Commissioner Minton indicated the need to review/amend the ordinance to clarify the issue of retail home occupations being allowed as a conditional use. 8. Consider a Variance Request on Maximum Length of a Dead-end Road by David Gow/public Hearing . stephen Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, stated that Mr. Gow is requesting a 600 foot variance to the 500 foot maximum length for a dead-end road. The request would allow an 1,100 foot dead-end road to be constructed. Further, the applicant proposes to develop a 40 acre parcel thus, a longer dead-end road was needed. Mr. Gow chose to apply for a variance prior to platting the property to avoid costly platting procedures that would be useless if the variance was not approved. Mr. Rohlf reviewed this request with the City Attorney and staff is recommending that this request be tabled until the plat and variance requests are in front of the City Council so the two requests can be considered together.
