He also stated that although the formal public hearing for the proposed County Materials mining operation was closed that the committee would allow a total of 30 minutes for public comment, 15 minutes for each side. Public hearing to consider a request for a conditional use permit to operate a Farm & Home Based Business in the Primary Agriculture District by Paul and Judith Nielsen, owners on a parcel of land located on lot 2 in the SW ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 17, T26N, R16W, Town of El Paso, Pierce County. Chairperson Barkla invited Paul Nielsen forward. Mr. Nielsen explained he is requesting a conditional use permit to put up a building to sell home crafts and Amish furniture. It will be a stud building with steel siding and will be handicap accessible. Sanden asked if there will be any employees outside of family. Mr. Nielsen stated not at this time. Chairperson Barkla stated in May of 2006 Mr. Nielsen obtained a permit for a pole shed for storage, then in September of 2006 he received a sanitary permit for an oversized system with proposed residential use, on September 20, 2006 he obtained a land use permit to convert the pole shed into a residence. At what time did you know that you were going to be converting this? Now you’re requesting a Farm & Home Based Business. Are you planning anymore changes? Mr. Nielsen, originally I was going to sell furniture out of the back of my house. Then a buyer purchased our house sooner than expected. We had planned to build this spring but then decided to live there and build another building this spring. Staff Report – Brad Roy: Mr. and Mrs. Nielsen own 8.8 acres in the Town of El Paso. They plan to conduct sales of Amish Furniture. The business will use a 30’ x 44’ pole shed which totals 1,320 square feet. The building and restrooms will be handicap accessible. The structure does not require Department of
Commerce approval. Proposed hours of operation will be Saturday and Sunday 10:00am to 6:00pm, Monday and Tuesday evenings from 6:00pm to 8:00pm by appointment only. Driveway access is off Hwy 72. § 240-54 states that retail stores shall provide 1 parking space per 200 feet of primary floor area. The proposal is consistent with this requirement, applicant also plans for one handicap parking stall. § 240-54 I states that the minimum dimensions for all parking spaces provided for use by physically disabled persons shall be 12 ft in width and 18 ft in length. Parking spaces provided for use by physically disabled persons shall be located as close as possible to an entrance which allows such persons to enter and leave the parking area without assistance. The Land Management Committee approved a Departmental Policy on February 7, 2007 which sets parking requirements. This policy states parking space dimensions shall be a minimum of 9 ft wide and 18 ft in length unless specified in the code. Where wheel stops are utilized, an allowance for vehicle overhang shall be provided. All parking spaces on hard surfaced parking areas should be clearly marked or labeled by paint, tape or parking blocks. Deviation from the standards for handicap accessible parking may occur if a minimum of 5 foot adjacent access aisle is provided. No outside storage or operation equipment is needed. No outside employees will be hired. Mr. Nielsen intends to connect the new building to the existing septic system. The septic system is large enough to handle the added use. Mr. Nielsen has applied for the septic permit and the permit will be issued prior to the issuance of the Land Use Permit for the accessory structure. The Town of El Paso recommended approval of this conditional use permit on February 28, 2007 with the condition that the new building not be used as a domicile. The proposed new structure will be an accessory structure. To use the building as a domicile would require an additional conditional use permit for an Accessory Residence. If the applicant wishes to take this route the Town of El Paso would have the ability to examine the new proposed use. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Land Management Committee approve this conditional use permit for a farm and home based business with the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall comply with the restrictions for a farm and home based business. 2. The new structure and any signage shall receive all necessary permits. 3. Hours of operation shall be Saturday and Sunday 10:00am to 6:00pm, Monday and Tuesday evenings from 6:00pm to 8:00pm by appointment only. 4. The applicant shall delineate 7 parking spaces with at least one being handicap accessible. All parking spaces shall be consistent with Pierce County Code and Departmental Policy. 5. This permit shall expire in 2 years or if compliance issues arise. Renewal may be done administratively if no compliance issues arise. Public hearing opened. Scott Schoepp, El Paso Township. Are you planning on having a road sign or having a wagon in the yard? I want it clear where things are being sold. Mr. Nielsen, I checked with Jim Kleinhans and he stated I would need to check with the state because of being on a state highway. It’s a lengthy process so I won’t be putting a sign by the road. Public hearing closed. Harrington moves to approve the conditional use permit for a farm & home based business with conditions #1 – 5 as presented/Nellessen seconds. All in favor. Motion
