CONTINUED: PUBLIC'HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, -SP #80-13,_ BY WALTER J. MILLER: Per Section 205.051, 2, A, to allow an existing accessory building 14 ft. by 20 ft. to be moved to the rear of the property and be used for a storage shed, and a new detached garage, 24 ft. by 30 ft. to be constructed on Lot 8, Revised Auditor's Subdivision No. 21, the same being 945 Mississippi Street N.E. Public Hearing open. Mr. Boardman stated this item was continued from the February 4 Planning Commission meeting. The Commission had requested it be continued, because Mr. Arthur Miller was not in attendance at that meeting. He stated Ron Miller, Arthur Miller's son, was in the audience if the Commission had any questions. Ms. Hughes asked Mr. Miller what the storage shed was to be used for. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 4, 1981 PAGE 2 Mr. Miller stated'it would be used for storage of a lawn tractor and antique furniture. Mr. Harris stated that the size of the new garage was almost the same size as the house. What was the reason for this large a garage? Mr. Miller stated they thought it was a nice garage size and was what they needed. He stated the garage will be used to house two vehicles, plus lawn and garden equipment. They have a large garden. He stated that as far as any other uses, there would not be any. (Ms. Schnabel arrived at 7:46 p.m.) Mr. Harris asked Mr. Boardman to explain to Mr. Miller the City's conditions on home occupations. Mr. Boardman stated that the City of Fridley does not allow any gainful home occupations to be operated out of accessory buildings. Home occupations can only be operated out of the actual family unit itself. This is one of the City's concerns when they have this type of accessory building, especially now when a lot of people are having to go toward home occupations to make additional income. Mr. Miller stated his father is a truck driver and is on the road most of the time. He would not be operating a home occupation. Ms. Hughes asked if Mr. Miller had asked any of the neighbors if there were any objections. Mr. Miller stated they have very good relationships with their neighbors, and they have talked to their neighbors. He stated that none of the neighbors objected to this; in fact, he thought they would like it. 14 MOTION BY MS. HUGHES, SECONDED BY MR. SVANDA, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON SP #80-13 BY WALTER J. MILLER. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:52 P.M. Ms. Hughes stated the only concern she would have is that the storage shed be moved to the back of the lot at the same time the garage is being built. It would be easy not to move that shed, and she felt it was important that the shed be moved. Moving the shed to the back of the lot removed the possibility of a lot of things, and the shed would not be accessible to other vehicles.
