o o Elk River Planning Commission Minutes February 26, 1985 Page Two Discussion was held regarding the boutique part of the home occupation. It was felt that boutiques draw large crowds and are not compatible with antiques. It was further indicated that a boutique sale was somewhat like a garage sale and needed no licensing. Mr. Burley indicated that the signage would be on his dwelling property and would be in compliance of the City's Ordinance. Mr. Burley stated there would be no outside employees; strictly family operating the business. Commissioner Oster indicated he felt a time limit of one year on Mr. Burley's conditional use permit would be appropriate. Commissioner Oster stated that if there are any problems regarding the boutique or traffic, it could be dealt with at that time. COMMISSIONER OSTER MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO GRANT A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR MR. ROBERT BURLEY OF 825 XENIA AVENUE TO OPERATE ANTIQUE AND BOUTIQUE SALES FROM HIS HOME WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. THAT THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BE REVIEWED IN ONE YEAR. 2. THAT THE HOURS OF OPERATION BE FROM 10:00 A.M. TO 5:00 P.M. DURING THE WEEK AND FROM 10:00 A.M. TO 9:00 P.M. DURING THE WEEKEND. 3. THAT 11IERE BE NO OUTSIDE EMPLOYEES. 4. THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THE CITY ORDINANCE BE MET WITH REGARDS TO SECTION 900.20(3) FOR PARKING AND APPEARANCE. COMMISSIONER WILLE SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 7-0. 5. Ordinance Amendment to Allow Veterinary Clinics in an R-l Zone/Public Hearing Chairman Tralle indicated that at the last Planning Commission meeting there was a concept presented to the Planning Commissioners for a veterinary clinic to be located on five acres of land which is currently owned by the City of Elk River, on Highway #169. Chairman Tralle further indicated that presently the zoning designation for this land is R-lb/single family residential, and veterinary clinics are not allowed in this zoning designation. Chairman Tralle indicated that the request before the Planning Commission was to change the uses allowed in an R-l zone to include veterinary clinics as a principal or conditional use. Chairman Tralle opened the public hearing. Commissioner Pearce stated that he felt this change should not be limited to veterinary clinics but also to human clinics. He felt this should be looked at with a much broader scope. Attorney Cliff Lundberg indicated that he felt veterinary clinics were an intrusive use in a residential zone. Discussion was held regarding whether or not veterinary clinics would be desireable in other R-l zoned areas in the City.
