MINUTES OP THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 16, 1985. PAGE 6 «952 KOKESH continued Mr. Oberhauser explained how the issue of the necessity of a conditional use permit came about. He stated that since the ordinance came into effect in 1975 this property has been permitted use as a stock farm. Mr. Oberhauser referred to two issues that have been brought up, the selling of tack and periodic riding lessons. He explained that Mrs. Kokesh takes orders over the phone for special types of tack and it should be considered manufacturer's representative type of business rather than a production commercial type of business. He also explained that the Kokesh daughter periodically gives lessons to accommodate the boarders. Mr. Oberhauser requested direction on the types of permits required. Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that within the recreation section of the code a conditional use permit is required because of the riding acadamy nature; and a variance would be required for the home occupation. Mabusth recommends that Mr. Oberhauser's client file formal applications for a conditional use permit and a variance. Earl Dorn, 4045 Watertown Road, was present to state his feelings regarding this matter. He stated that it has taken the City a year to act on this and it is clearly a public stable. He feels that the ordinance should be applied equally to residents. He stated that the problems include the increased traffic because of the horse shows, chuckwagons, loudspeakers, tack and lessons are adverti sed. He also noted that the City building inspector should check to see if all the buildings on the property were built under the authority of building permits. Mr. Dorn stated that if the applicant were to apply for the necessary permits, he would be opposed to the unlimited expansion of the operation. Kelley stated that there seemed to be no problems at the horse shows he has attended at this property regarding the traffic and operation. He further stated that he never saw any type of over-the-counter sales of tack. Simv stated that he feels this is a proper use in this area and encourages it. Ocetten stated that conditions and limitations should be set on these types of operations. Mr. Oberhauser stated that he felt the type of sales of tack involved were covered under the home occupation section because the sales were limi«^od and of the catalogue type. Planning Commission concurred that applicant should file the appropriate applications upon staff's recommendation to be heard before the Planning Commission.
