Motion carried. HOME OCCUPATION 1 • Art Stern, 610 W. 13th, Wyomont Exterior Design, has applied for a Home Occupation. Mr. Stern worked for K Designers in Billings for quite a few years, and decided to start his own business. He wants to use his home, temporarily, as hi-s-office while he starts the business. He has also applied for a City business license. Chuck Dickerson inquires as to if Mr. Stern has plans to keep any of his tools or materials at his home. Mr. Stern states he has crews that do the work and they keep the tools with them. The materialsto do each job will be ordered out of Billings and taken right to the job site. He will store nothing at his home. He basically needs an address for the business. Motion__by Grace Edwards,__ seconded by Chuck Dickerson to recommend approval of this Home Occupation to the City Council. Motion carried. DISCUSSION ON MOVE ON HOUSES Jim Flisrand, City Engineer, has come before the Committee tonight to enlight them on Move on Houses. Basically, the Code does not show reference to move on houses. They must, of course, be approved by the Building Department and the building permit purchased. The only guidelines are in the Municipal Code 11.20 on moving buildings. The State Electrical inspector inspects the wiring after the house is moved on, and the City inspects the plumbing. But, that plumbing inspection is very basic, unless any remodeling has been done. There is nothing in the code stating that the electrical or plumbing has to be brought up to code if the house is older. Chuck Dickerson is concerned on the older homes that are moved, when the plumbing, electrical and insulation are not brought up to code. If a fire were to start because of bad wiring the neighbor's run a risk of losing their homes. Is there anything in the code that addresses the problem? Jim states that there is a code on the safety and health of the neighboring. homes. • Roy Johnson is concerned about people moving in homes that would take the valuation of the neighboring homes down. Joe Bradley and Jim both feel that the City would not be willing to get involved in that. It would be a judgment call. The Committee is concerned about the house left on 1st Avenue and 12th Street. It has been there for approximately one year. Is there anything that can be done? Cal feels that we need to draw up an ordinance stating that there is a 1-2 week limit on how long houses can sit, or be moved through town. Cal will get with Joe and draw up an ordinance to take to the City Council. DISCUSSION ON MOBILE HOMES IN VILLAGE''SUBIDIVISION Jim Flisrand says there are alot of mobile homes out in the Village Subdivision that are not skirted, and are lacking house numbers. The City has codes on skirting, numbers and parking spaces and the time allowed to have these things done. Chuck Dickerson states that skirting and numbers are written into the covenants of the Subdivision and the Homeowner's Association should be the one enforcing these covenants. The City should not get involved. There are alot of problems in the subdivision but the Homeowner's Association-is trying to solve them. They will need the City's advice on some of them, and they have an appointment with Joe. . Planning Board meeting of September 9, 1988 There is a Fall conference of the Montana Association of Planners in Kalispell September 14-16. Anyone interested contact Cal. There are two bills to be approved. One for Cumin Associates for July-September for $ 3,375 and one for Administrative Services for September for $ 200. Motion by Grace Edwards to approve the bills, seconded by Gerald Shay. Motion carried. Motion by Grace Edwards to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Donald Gudgell. Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Cheryll Lund, Secretary 11 0 LAUREL- YELLOWSTONE .-� CITY-COUNTY PLANNING BOARD LAUREL, MONTANA 59044 AGENDA A meeting of the Laurel - Yellowstone City- County Planning Board has been scheduled for Thursday, September 8, 1988 at 7:00 P.M. at the Laurel City Hall, 115 W.
