He made the following remarks: <br /> The field on the back side of his property is being used for equipment storage. <br /> The rural atmosphere of the area will be preserved. <br /> He doesn’t use the local streets for his business. <br /> There are other similar businesses in the area so the business would not be uncharacteristic of <br />the neighborhood. <br /> Per Sherburne County, property values have increased in the area which is contrary to what <br />the neighbors stated. <br /> A lot of complaints started when he began making improvements to his property, not from <br />his business operation. <br /> He is a small business and can’t afford commercial property. <br /> The complaint from neighbors regarding dumped materials was from the previous owner that <br />he cleaned up. <br /> He worked with neighbors on their light concerns and has made changes to reduce brightness. <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />The Council concurred with allowing landscaping over berming. <br /> <br /> <br />
