K. Hours of Operation <br />The amendment includes hours of operation which are not included in the current ordinance. A <br />home occupation could be open to the public as early as 8 a.m. and no later than 8 p.m. <br />L. Traffic <br />The amendment provides a framework to how city staff will measure whether a home occupation <br />is creating excessive traffic. Because Orono neighborhoods are so diverse with smaller lots in <br />Navarre, lakeshore lots, and rural homesteads, the ordinance directs staff to consider the <br />characteristics of the area in determining if there is a problem. <br />M. Deliveries and Shipment <br />The amendment indicates that deliveries should not occur at night and should in trucks and <br />vehicles that are small and compatible with residential areas. <br />N. Prohibited Occupations <br />The amendment recognizes that there are a variety of uses that are not appropriate in a residence. <br />This includes the sale, lease, trade or transfer of firearms. Please refer to the City Attorney's <br />memo. <br />O. Reasonable Accommodation <br />The amendment recognizes tliat some of these regulations may be difficult for handicapped <br />persons to comply with in the strictest sense. The person could ask for an administrative waiver <br />from the regulations. Staff does not expect to ever have to use this section but it does provide <br />some flexibility if there is some regulation that prohibits someone from working at home because <br />of their disability. <br />P. Enforcement <br />The amendment provides a process for investigating complaints. The City Attorney has concerns <br />that this process might not be followed and created difficulties for the City. Please refer to his <br />memo. <br />Q. Licensing <br />The amendment also includes deletion of the current licensing process. There are very few people <br />that have licenses. This process appears to extend a privilege to property owners that many <br />believe that have an inherent right to enjoy without government regulation. The current process <br />requires $50 for the first license and $30 for each year thereafter. This process takes time away
