Zoning for the property is R-I-6,SOO Single-family Residential District. Mr. Rasmussen presented the staff report recommending approval of Case UP-91-80, subject to the fmdings and conditions of the staff report. Commissioner Michelotti asked staff what they do regarding letters that come to the Planning Department in complaint of a caselindividual. Mr. Rasmussen replied that if the letters come in time before a meeting, they attempt to put the complainant and the applicant in touch with each other in order to work things out before hand. Obviously, some letters are not presented until the night of the meeting and they are simply presented to the Commission. Chairman Mahem asked if the applicant has the necessary permit to operate a home occupation. Mr. Rasmussen affirmed that Mr. Davis has a zoning certificate for an exempt home occupation. Exempt home occupations are limited to office activities or the production of minor arts and crafts. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Richard Davis, 2283 Sea Eagle Court, represented the application. He stated he has read the staff report and concurs with the conditions. Chairman Mahem asked Mr. Davis if he has any comment regarding the complaint letters. Mr. Davis stated that he was in a spa business in 1988 and occasionally spas would be delivered to his home. At times neighbors would even help him unload them. He is no longer in that business, but noted that during those years he never had a complaint from the neighbors. His son, along with two friends, had been living there, and some problems had resulted. However, Mr. Davis said he would not tolerate that, and his son and friends no longer live there. Chairman Mahem questioned Mr. Davis about a possible car repair business. The applicant said he does not repair cars; however, he does purchase classic cars and does renovate them, but has not done that for over a year. If he does any work on the classic cars, it is done inside the garage. He continued to say that he is 66 years old and still working; however, he may wish to retire and may move into the back unit, if approved. Chairman Mahem asked Mr. Davis if he has a particular purpose right now for the secondary unit. Mr. Davis said he does not intend to rent it out; however, he reiterated he may want to live in it someday and wants to be able to work on it while his health is good.
