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. REFERENCES: Map depicting area.
