MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 20, 1998 <br /> (#17 - #2333 Home Occupations - Continued) <br /> Curtis Krantz, 2120 Fox Street, voiced his approval of Staffs preference regarding <br /> eliminating licensing, strengthening the zoning regulations, and handling violations on a <br /> complaint basis. He was informed that farming is an agricultural use, not regulated as a <br /> home occupation. Krantz supported the draft but questioned the ability of City employees <br /> to enter homes and limiting the number of customers. He feels the City is overstepping <br /> their bounds by limiting the number of customers, which he feels is a restraint of trade. He <br /> asked how it would be policed. Lindquist informed him that the City would respond to <br /> complaints. Smith said the boundaries are set to use only when a complaint is received. <br /> Krantz was informed that the regulations apply to residences and a more intense business <br /> use should be located in a commercial area in order to maintain the character of residential <br /> neighborhoods. Schroeder noted the increase in traffic would not benefit a neighborhood. <br /> Lindquist said the City is attempting to place reasonable limitations on home occupation <br /> and to give people an idea on what is acceptable. He informed Krantz that the <br /> Commission is happy to hear any suggestions for changes and incorporate rules that <br /> benefit the community as a whole. <br /> Smith noted that the provisions are for response to complaints on what is reasonable and <br /> • not necessarily a mandate. Krantz agreed with handling problems on a complaint basis. <br /> He does not feel the City has the right to limit the business. <br /> Krantz asked if firearm dealers would be able to continue operation in the City. Lindquist <br /> asked Krantz to submit his name for notification of any public hearings regarding the <br /> issue. Lindquist said the matter will be discussed in the near future. <br /> Schroeder moved, Hawn seconded, to table Application#2333. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> (#18) #2327 ORONO DEVELOPMENT,LLC, 2380 SHADYWOOD ROAD -An <br /> amendment to Section 10.44 of the Zoning Code to allow coffee shops, bagel and <br /> pizza restaurants in the B-5, Limited Neighborhood Business District- 11:38 p.m.- <br /> 12:03 a.m. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> The Applicants were present. <br /> Gaffron reported that the request for an amendment to the B-5 Limited Neighborhood <br /> Business District to allow as a conditional use, three specific additional uses: 1) coffee <br /> retail sales, 2)bagel retail sales, and 3) pizza retail sales.
