Home Occupation- Wava Robison- Crafts- 27~5 Lackawanna Wava Robison has applied for a Home Occupation to make Crafts in her home, to be sold at various craft shows, and various downtown stores. Her husband will help, but no other people will be employed. Question is raised on neighbors, whether or not they were notified, as required on the application. She has talked to several of her neighbors, but there is one neighbor she refuses to talk to, due to activities she suspects that they are conducting in their home (allegedly). The other neighbors have no problem with her doing crafts in her home. Cal wouldn't make a recommendation because he felt that there was not enough information given on the form. After discussion it was moved by Lonnie Kellogg, seconded by Gerald.~ Shay to recommend approval of the application subject to no extra traffic, no sales done out of the home, and no extra garbage. Motion carried. 9--0. Discussion of Group Home Issue There has been some discussion regarding dropping the Special Review requirement for Day Care Centers with 12 or fewer kids. Joe states that when babysitters with 12 or fewer kids are licensed through the state, there is not much we can require of these smaller babysitting operations. The only thing we can do is require them to buy a business license. Motion by Gerald Shay, seconded by Russell Bray, to recommend that the City change the terminology of Day Care Centers, babysitters, to match the states terminology. Motion carried 9--0. Joe states that the Chamber of Commerce is asking to be able to place a railroad caboose next to the Locomotive Inn, to be used for a tourist information booth. In order to place a caboose in that area they will have to apply for variances. The main variance they will be asking for will be to exempt them from having to hook into the sewer line. More information will be gathered on this issue once the Chamber decides if they want to do this. Motion by Don Gudgell, seconded by Donna Kilpatrick to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 9--0.
