Maximum service: 1 residence typical <br />9.Orono Orchard Road, which services Woodhill Avenue, is a scenic parkway. <br />Page 7-16 states: <br />High volume through traffic and commercial traffic is not appropriate on <br />scenic parkways ... <br />Test 2 <br />“That the proposed location of the conditional use and the proposed condition under <br />which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, <br />safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.” <br />Section 10.09, Subd. 6.

To do so <br />without a permit is a misdemeanor. The Club has proceeded to do so without such a permit. The <br />ordinance provides that a permit may be issued if the resulting use would not impose an <br />unreasonable hazard to the public and if the other requirements are met. <br />The Club is clearly a business.
