AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
Agenda Item 2. Consideration of Allowing a Beauty Shop Within an
R-1 Zoning District.
Mrs. Willard Farnick is requesting that she be
allowed to operate a beauty shop in her home in
Hillcrest Addition. (See enclosed map).
Monticello ordinances do allow home occupations in
residential zones as permitted accessory uses, and
the definition of home occupation is as follows:
Any gainful occupation engaged in by the
occupants of a dwelling at or from the dwelling.
Such activity shall be clearly incidental and
secondary to the residential use of the premises.
Permissable home occupations shall not include
the conducting of a retail business other than
by mail, manufacturing business, or a repair
shop of any kind on the premises, and no stock
in trade shall be kept or sold. No other
than persons residing on the premises shall be
employed, and no mechanical equipment shall be
employed that, is not; customarily found .in the
home and no more than one (1) room may be
devoted to home occupation use. Such home
occupation shall not require internal or external
alterations or involve construction features
not customarily found in dwellings. The
entrance to the space devoted to such occupations
shall be within the dwelling. There shall be
no exterior display, no exterior signs except,
as allowed in the sign regulations for the zoning
district in which such home occupation is
IocaLed. There shall be no exterior storage
of equipment, or materials used in the home
occupation. No home occupation shall be permitted
which results in or generates more tral'fir t.han
one (1) cru• for off-street parking at, any one
given point, in time. Permissable home occupations
include, but are not limited to the following:
art, studio, dressmaking, special offices of a
clerftyman, lawyer, architect, engineer, account-
ant, or real estate agent or appraiser, when
located in a dwelling unit, occupied by the same;
and teaching, with musical, dancing and other
instruction limited to one (1) pupil at one time.
Although not specifically mentioned, it would appear
that a beauty shop, subject to the conditions mentioned
in the definition, would be a permitted accessory use
within a residential zone. There may be more than one
off-street parking space necessary when appointments
are scheduled back to back but this would occur only
occasionally and then for only a short period of time.
I have asked Mrs. Farnick to obtain signatures of the
surrounding neighbors for their approval. A copy of
the blankform is enclosed and Mrs. Farnick will bring
in with signatures on Tuesday night.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approving beauty
shop as a permitted accessory use subject to condition
spelled out in the definition of home occupations.
REFERENCES: Enclosed map.
Copy of approval form from surrounding
property owners.
Agenda Item 3. Consideration of Determining ApproQriate Requirements
on Subdivision and Consideration of Approving 5 1'oot
Parcel purchased by David Ileifort.
Monticello ordinance II -1-7 relative to subdivision
requirements reads as follows -
11 -1-7: EXCEPTIONS: When requesting a subdivision,
if either of the two following conditions
exist., the City Administrator• shall bring the request
to the attention of the Planning Commission whereupon,
they shall review said request and exempt the subdivider
from complying with any inappropriate requirements of
this Ordinance.
A) In the case, of a request to divide_ a lot, which is
a part of a r•erorded plat where_ the division is to
permit, the adding of a parcel of land to an abutting
lot or to r.reat.c two Ints and the newly created
property line will not, cause the other remaining
portion of the lot. to be in violation with this
Ordinance or chi zoninti ordinance.
B) Such division reaul is in parcels having an area of
five (S) acres or, more with frontage on a publ is
right-of-way measuring three hundred (300) fent.
or, more and when such division does not. necessitate
the dedication of a public right-of-way; or if a
lot/which is part of a plat recorded in the office
of the Register of Deeds of Wright County is to be
-2-
divided and such division will not cause any structure
on the lot to be in violation of the zoning ordinance
or said new portions of lots to be in violation of
City Ordinances.
There should be a clarification of what the inappropriate
requirements are since they are not spelled out. Possibly
the best way to amend this ordinance would be to spell
out what requirements have to be met rather than list
all the inappropriate requirements.
Among the requirements the following are suggested:
1. Review by Planning Commission and review and
approval by the City Council
2. Certificate of survey.
All other requirements such as park dedication, pre-
liminary and final plat procedures appear not to be
necessary in these cases.
Mr. David Ilcifort, on West. River Street (see enclosed
map) purchased five feet of the lot to the cast and
this subdivision would fall under the provisions of
11-1-7. Mr. Ilcifort is requesting approval of this
subdivision be taken up and put. into the minutes of the
Planning Commission in the event. of a subsequent, sale
to another buyer. Since our subdivision ordinance is
not clear• and the land is already subdivided I would
recommend the Planning Commission approve this sub-
division for the record. In the future_, all sub-
divisions of this nature would have to meet the re-
quirements that the Planning Commission and City Council
amend the ordinance to read.
POSSIDI.D ACTION: 1. Consideration of approving sub-
division for David Ileifort., I.ot 0, Illork 4, River
Terrace Addition. 2. Consideration of amending
ordinance relative to subdivision requirements For
exceptions listed in 11-1-7 (A) and (D)
REFERENCES: Enclosed map.
�r
agenda Item q. Consideration of Using Chestnut Street as Driveway.
Mr. C. H. Borchardt is considering the purchase of a
house on Block 42 Lot 10 (see enclosed map).
Mr. Borchardt would like to tear down the existing
house and build a new home on the site and would like
to have the house face Chestnut Street.
Al though this steet is platted, it has never been put
in and Mr. Borchardt would 1 ike to utilize Chestnut
Street as part of his driveway in getting access to his
garage.
It would appear that the request is reasonable provided DKNY
(A) Mr. Borchardt maintains that portion of Chestnut
Street utilized as a driveway, (B) he either pave or
cement the entire driveway as required for all drive-
ways by Monticello ordinance and (C) City retains all
rights to the property.
POSSTBLE ACTION: Consideration of approving use of
Chestnut Street for use as a driveway.
