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 /> 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 /> 12 <br />
