VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. 23. TIM AND LORIE LINE PIANO RECITAL, 4415 FOREST LAKE LANDING, UPDATE Barnhart noted in September the City Council reviewed a home occupation request from Tim and Lorie Line. At that time the Council denied the request feeling that it was inappropriate for the residential neighborhood. Since then Staff has shared with the Lines that they do not have permission to operate any events as they have identified earlier. The Lines have informed Staff that they are not charging admission for their event so it would not be considered a home occupation based on a strict reading of the City ordinance. Barnhart stated technically it does not fall within a special event which somewhat ties Staff's hands for enforcing the ordinance. At this point Staffs recommendation is to initiate an amendment to the City's special event permit as it relates to the definition of a home occupation and how the review is to be done to hopefully address any future events in 2017. Barnhart stated in his view it would be beneficial to review the ordinance. Barnhart noted the City cannot compel the Lines to appear. Knowing that there are some neighborhood concerns, the Police Chief does recognize the concern and will step up patrols in that area and make sure it is not a problem. Staff will share that information with the Council as the need arises. Walsh asked if the Lines have come up with a parking plan. Walsh indicated he has heard the church is not going to allow parking in their lot and that if there are more than 20 cars parked on the public street that would require a special event permit. Barnhart indicated he did ask the Lines to share that with the City but he has not received it as of this time. Barnhart concurred that if more than 20 cars are parked on the public street, it would require a special event permit. Walsh asked if the residents could call the police department and request that some no parking signs be erected in their yards. Page 24 of 28
