FROM KINSHAWKULBERTSOM (TUE) 5. 12*93 ll:27/i?T. ll:26'-KO. 37600S6757 P 2 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />RE: <br />Liz VonZomeren <br />Thomas Barrett <br />May 12, 1998 <br />Horae Occupation Ordinance <br />1. Liz, I have already forwarded to you the Minnesota Statute which allows municipalities, <br />including Orono, to regulate the sale of fire arms in their coraraunliles. If the City determines <br />to exclude these home occupations, it may need to amortize existing home occupations <br />involving the sale of fire-arms by setting a date certain within which no further home licenses <br />for this occupation will be granted, or by denying licenses to new applicants, allowing the <br />current licensees to continue to operate until they fail to renew. <br />2. With respect to procedures involved in handling home occupation complaints, I do not <br />recommend that the City adopt formal procedures for processing complaints. The City ’s size <br />does not re<]uire such formality, and the problem is one which needs to be handled within <br />existing City staff resources. Creating formal procedures would rob the City of the flexibility <br />to treat complaints in a way consistent with its own judgment about priorities. <br />As well, it is abundantly clear that the City staff may not enter a private home to search for <br />evidence of a violation of the home occupati<?n ordinance without a warrant issued by a judge <br />of the district court. <br />Please let me know if you have further questions. <br />.. : <br />0S2/2315S616 S/12/98
