Richard McFate, Jr. appeared before the Planning Board to request that his fireworks stand be changed into his name due to the passing away of his father this past year. They will be having only one stand this year~ and not two like in previous years. They will only have the stand south of Laurel. The stand runs from June 24-July 5. Motion by Gerald Shay, seconded by Donna Kilpatrick, to recommend that the stand be allowed to operate by Richard McFate, Jr. Motion carried. Home Occupation- Gary's Wrecker- 433 Badger Square Gary Coddington would like permission to run his wrecker service out of his home. He works during the day at Ben's Riverside Repair. His wrecker service runs in his off hours.. He is on the wrecker service list with the Highway Patrol and wants to get on the list at Laurel. No repairs are ever done at home, he does park his wrecker in his driveway tho. He carries a liability policy of $20,000. Cal recommends approval subject to no trade being carried on at his residence. Motion by Gerry Shay, seconded by Russell Bray that the Board recommend approval subject to no work done on the premises. Motion carried. Home Occupation- David Whitney- Phone Repair Service No show. Home Occupations and Fire Code Compliance At the last City license meeting the Committee wasn't sure whether or not there should be a fire code compliance with Home Occupations. They would like our opinion. Cal thinks that it is not necessary. The whole intent of a Home Occupation is to carry on a business in a residential neighborhood and not change the make up of the neighborhood. To make it conform to commercial fire zone changes the whole intent of the home occupation. He does not see a need for it. Joe does not'think it is necessary either. The reason for the Committee wanting to review this is because of a gentleman having a Home Occupation in a commercial business. He stated that all of the work he does is done outside, and in an article in the Gazette he stated he does do some of his refinishing work in his basement, where there is a furnace/water heater present. He feels that this case was different tho, because it is in a Commercial district. Motion by Gerry Shay, seconded by Don Gudgell that the Planning Board recommends that there is no change required in the way the city administers fire codes to comply with Home Occupations. Motion carried. Babysitters and Lawn-persons There have been some concerns with the new Treasurer that people are advertising in the Outlook for babysitting services, but not coming in to apply for business licenses for these services. Joe had advised Vicki that she should go through the paper to see if there are people advertising for services and check out whether or not they are licensed. She brought this up with Cal and he suggested we discuss it. After much discussion a motion was made by Don Gudgell, seconded by Donna Kilpatrick that we recommend to the Council that they pass an Ordinance requiring City licensing of Family Day Care homes (3-6 kids in a residential home), and Day Care Centers that provide, more than 3 consecutive weeks of babysitting services. ~Motion carried. Discussion on Lawn-persons. It was decided to table this issue. Scuba Permit Modification Cal recommends that we modify the scuba permit to allow an instructor that provides proof of insurance to the City, to be able to sign a wiaver for his class, instead of requiring each student to sign an individual waiver. Also, he feels that the permit should be good for a calendar year, Jan.-Dec., so that they don't have to fill OUt a new on~ each time !~ey dive.- Page 2 Planning Board minutes of June 13, 1991 Motion by Donna Kilpatrick, seconded by Joe Bradley, that we amend the Scuba permit to allow the instructor, that carries insurance with the City on the policy, to sign one waiver for his class, and to allow the permit to be good for a calendar year, January thru December. Motion carried. Motion by Joe Bradley, seconded by Gerry Shay, to recommend that the bills for $200 for Administrative services, and a bill for $3,375 for Cal Cumin's services be paid.
