MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 8, 1994 Home Occupation License - 650 North Brown Road - Continued Jerry Knox, President of West Shore Town Homes, commented that they shared concern over Garrett running his business from his home. He asked if granting a home occupation license would grant Garrett more rights than he currently has. He added that Garrett is presently a great neighbor and he would have r.o problem with the home occupation if it stays the same as it currently exists. Hurr did not feel a violation of code related to home occupations could be allowed and she would not support any exemption to the code. Jabbour expressed concern with having any commercial equipment at the residential property but did not object to the office in the residence. He was also concerned about excesses of fuel to be stored on the property. Mayor Callahan asked Garrett if he operated a snow plowing service last winter. Garrett responded that he had from the building on Daniels Street but would prefer to have the business located on his own property. Garrett again questioned the necessity of obtaining a home occupation license. Jabbour felt Garrett’s business would be considered commercial if he took a deduction for equipment on his income tax. It was moved by Hurr, seconded by Goetten, to deny the home occupation license for Warren Garrett of 650 North Brown Road. Ayes 5, nays 0. Garrett asked if he had no employees working for him if the license would have passed. Members of the Council did not think so.
