Minnetonka Center for the Arts <br />2240 North Shore Drive <br />Wayzata, MN 55391 <br />One day event to be held on May 17, 2000 <br />22. Home Occupation License for 740 Orchard Park Road <br />Steve Melco, the applicant, was present. <br />Moorse explained that Melco is seeking to use his property for a tree service business. <br />The City does not normally allow a home occupation that requires buildings and <br />machinery that are not normally present at a residential property. <br />Melco stated that he is only asking to park his vehicles at his home. Everything he does <br />is off the property. He has spoken with his neighbors to the south and north ( Sansevere), <br />and has not met any opposition. <br />• <br />Sansevere asked Melco if he has any employees. He responded he does not currently <br />have employees and if he did, he could have them meet him at the job site. Mayor • <br />Jabbour stated that the City does not want a lot of activity at the home, especially <br />involving trucks, tractors, and early morning noise. <br />Kelley stated he was not sure Melco needed a home occupation license if he only wants <br />to park his work truck on the property. He asked how the Council should determine what <br />kind of vehicle requires a license. Barrett asked Melco how his clients reach him. He <br />replied by mobile phone. Barrett asked if he does paperwork from his home. Melco <br />replied he has a PO Box for business mailings, but he does do paperwork in his home. <br />Melco explained he has 2 work trucks and a car. He uses the car when he does estimates. <br />He uses 1 truck on jobs and keeps the second as a backup. Both trucks are the size of <br />Chevy Suburbans. <br />Sansevere asked if the license is renewable every year. Moorse stated that there could be <br />problems with potentially revoking a license a year later because of changes to the <br />business. Mayor Jabbour stated the Council should grant a license based on the <br />information Melco presented them. Barrett stated they can describe the conditions under <br />which they granted the permit. If the business did not change, the Council would be <br />obligated to renew the license, but not if it changes. <br />LJ <br />12 <br />
