MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD NOVE:MBER 19, 1984 PAGE 11 #878 THOMAS J(AUI. Kaul stated that she and her husband had visi ted the other B&B's in the area and that they arc - listed through the B&B directory which limits the amount of traffic through your home. There are 40 homes in Minnesota. One example that is similiar to what we are trying to do is on Mount Curve Place. It. is in a residential area and the house doesn't look any different than any of the others in the area. My suggestion is to have a represen- tative of the neighborhood and of the Planning Commission come with us to talk to these people and their neighbors. Kaul asked about a CUP permit. Goetten stated they would then have to make some changes in the zoning code. It is not considered a conditional use at this time. Goetten suggested that the issue of a B&B may have to be looked into and possibly amend the code to include a B&B. Rovegno asked Mabusth if the residential area is not the place for a B&B, which zoning area could accommodate such a facility? Goetten stated this a question of interpretation of the home occupation code. Sime referred to code book under 10.20 secticn 4(c) for a home occupation only three (3) parking spaces are accepted and the occupation cannot be visas le from the outside of the home. Mabusth noted that this applied only professional people such as doctors, architects, etc. who used their homes on a temporary bases. McDonald asked the Kauls if they had considered any other homes in this area for their B&B. Kaul said they had but they thought this was the best area because of the location on a major street. There would be no conflict of a private street where a few extra cars on a given night would be noticed. we had considered the Pierce- wyer House in Excelsior but the size of the house would tend to be more commercial than we want since this is to be our home.
