MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,May 17,2010 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#10-3461 SEIDOU SALON SPA,AMENDMENT OF CODE CHAPTER 78,CONTINUED) <br /> The B-3 shopping center business district is intended to establish provisions for the designating of a <br /> district where a multiple building retail sales and service facility with integrated design and a coordinated <br /> physical plan,appropriately located may be erected. Such district shall be developed as a unit according <br /> to an approved plan as provided in this division. The district shall have immediate access to adequate <br /> highways and public sanitary sewer. <br /> The B-5 limited neighborhood business district is intended to provide a district for businesses that supply <br /> commodities or perform a service primarily for residents in the surrounding neighborhood,which <br /> businesses are not high traffic generators and do not necessitate an inordinate amount of hardcover. The <br /> district may adjoin residential districts or other business districts which are subject to more restrictive <br /> controls. The district shall have immediate access to adequate highways and public sanitary sewer. <br /> Because of the location of the B-5 district as contemplate in the area lmown as Navarre,the uses are <br /> limited in order to limit the hardcover in that area and to limit the future generation of traffic for that <br /> property in that use district. <br /> Turner noted that Staff has attached the regulations for Spring Park,Wayzata, and Plymouth regarding <br /> this type of use. Most communities license either the business or the therapists or both to ensure that the <br /> business is legitimate and the therapist is qualified. Since conditional use permits go with the land and <br /> licenses go with the individual, Staff feels the appropriate manner to handle this is to license the massage <br /> therapists. <br /> Staff is recommending approval of the amendments to add therapeutic massage as a permitted use in the <br /> B-1,B-3, and B-5 zoning districts, subject to adoption of licensing regulations for therapeutic massage. <br /> Lauren Patnode, Seidou Salon, stated she is attempting to create a wellness center. Patnode indicated <br /> they have licensed cosmetologists, licensed massage therapists, and licensed acupuncturists. They are <br /> licensed through the Board of Cosmetologists and the Health Department. Patnode stated she is asking <br /> the City to amend the language to allow her business to qualify for this zoning. <br /> Feuss asked if that is a state board. <br /> Patnow indicated it is a state board. Anybody that is hired has to be licensed through the state board. <br /> Feuss asked if the City of Plymouth has a separate license for massage therapists. <br /> Turner stated the City Attorney could not find any provision for any state licensing. There is no licensing <br /> for a massage therapist or an acupuncturist,which is why many of the communities that allow it require <br /> some sort of license. <br /> Acting Chair Schoenzeit opened the public hearing for 9:03 p.m. <br /> Andrea Odenwald, 614 Second Avenue East, Shakopee, stated the City of Plymouth has a certi�cation for <br /> massage,which consists of a criminal background check and a driver's license check. Odenwald <br /> indicated she has been certified through the City of Plymouth. <br /> Acting Chair Schoenzeit closed the public hearing at 9:04 p.m. <br /> PAGE 20 <br />
