To move forward with the project, the applicant needs approval of a home occupation license. Recommended Action: Motion to approve a home occupation license for Living Long Hair studio located at 1973 Barclay Street, subject to certain conditions of approval. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact?  No ☐ Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0.00 Financing source(s): ☐ Adopted Budget ☐ Budget Modification ☐ New Revenue Source ☐Use of Reserves  Other: n/a Strategic Plan Relevance: ☐Community Inclusiveness ☐Financial & Asset Mgmt ☐Environmental Stewardship ☐Integrated Communication  Operational Effectiveness ☐Targeted Redevelopment The City deemed the application complete on April 28, 2022. The initial 60-day review deadline is June 27, 2022. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the City can take an additional 60 days if necessary to complete the review of your application. Background: Kristi Long (property owner/applicant) has requested approval of a home occupation license to allow for the operation of a one-chair hair salon on the subject property. The applicant proposes to turn an existing space located above the attached garage and part of the second floor of the home into a salon. To avoid having clients walking through the house to get to the space, the applicant will install stairs from the outside up to the salon space. Overall, there would be minimal traffic and neighborhood impact, as the owner would have one client visiting the property at any time. E1 PC Packet Page Number 5 of 32 Home Occupation License Section 14-56 outlines the licensing requirement for home occupations on residential property if any of the following circumstances would occur on the property more than 30 days each year: 1.Employment of a nonresident in the home occupation. 2.Customers or customers' vehicles on the premises. 3.Manufacture, assembly or processing of products or materials on the premises. 4.More than one vehicle associated with the home occupation which is classified as a light commercial vehicle. 5.A vehicle used in the home occupation and parked on the premises, which exceeds a three-quarter-ton payload capacity. 6.If the home occupation produces any waste that should be treated or regulated. Commission and City Council Review Home Occupation License The Planning Commission will review the home occupation license on May 17, 2022. The City Council will review the project and make the final determination on the home occupation license on June 13, 2022. Department Comments Fire Department, Jerry Novak: A fire extinguisher, smoke detector and CO alarm must be installed in the room. Extension cords cannot be used. Citizen Comments Staff surveyed the surrounding properties. A public hearing notice and project details were sent to the properties within 500 feet of the subject property. One public comment was received regarding the notice below: 1.We received the public hearing notice for this residence and wanted to let you know that we don't have any issues with their request. What they are proposing for their home-based hair salon doesn't seem unreasonable and the amount of traffic it would generate doesn't seem like it would be any different than if someone had a few people over for company. They have been good neighbors and we haven't had any issues with them since they have been in the home. If you have any questions or need any additional info, please let me know.

Recommended Action: Motion to approve a resolution for a conditional use permit amendment and a setback variance permitting exterior storage and a parking lot expansion for MG McGrath Inc.’s property located at 1387 Cope Avenue East. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact?  No ☐ Yes, the true or estimated cost is enter amount or $0.00. Financing source(s): ☐ Adopted Budget ☐ Budget Modification ☐ New Revenue Source ☐Use of Reserves  Other: N/A Strategic Plan Relevance: ☐Community Inclusiveness ☐Financial & Asset Mgmt ☐Environmental Stewardship ☐Integrated Communication  Operational Effectiveness ☐Targeted Redevelopment The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on April 28, 2022. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is June 27, 2022. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city is allowed to take an additional 60 days if necessary to complete the review. Background: MG McGrath Inc. is requesting a revision to its conditional use permit (CUP) to allow exterior storage. In addition to the conditional use permit request, the applicant is requesting a setback variance to construct 16 additional parking spaces and a fence on the Cope Avenue side of the lot. Parking lots are required to be setback 15 feet from right-of-way; the applicant is requesting that the parking lot be within two feet of the right-of-way line. E2 PC Packet Page Number 16 of 32 Conditional Use Permit Amendment When the original CUP was approved for this site in 1996, one of the conditions of approval stated “there shall be no outdoor storage of any materials or equipment without approval of a revised conditional use permit by the City Council.” The site currently has a large amount of exterior storage and the applicant needs to amend its CUP in order to continue this practice. Staff believes if the city approves an amendment to the CUP to allow exterior storage on this site there needs to be parameters established to govern how storage occurs. The applicant’s narrative that was submitted with this request states they intend to store “materials or equipment in an orderly and secured fashion, so as not to be visible from Hwy 36.” In addition, staff is recommending the applicant be required to submit a site plan for staff approval showing the location of exterior storage areas. The site plan shall ensure that no exterior storage can be viewed from Highway 36 and is setback at least 40 feet to the north from the south building line. The site plan shall also show the location of an enclosure, as all trash receptacles kept outside are required to be enclosed in a structure. Setback Variance The applicant is proposing to add 16 parking spaces along its south property line. City code requires parking lots to be setback at least 15 feet from a front property line. The proposed parking lot expansion would be setback two feet – thus requiring a 13 foot variance. To construct the parking lot expansion, seven trees would have to be removed. The applicant will be required to meet the city’s tree replacement requirements. Larkin Dance Studio, the property to the east, has five parking spaces with a similar setback as to what is being proposed by the applicant. The CUP that was originally approved for this site in 1996 did identify parking as a concern and stated the city council could require more parking if needed. The project in 1996 was approved with 30 fewer parking spaces than what city code would have required. The city has not identified parking as a concern currently, rather the applicant has. Staff does believe the applicant faces practical difficulties in expanding parking on site given the configuration of the site. Staff is recommending the applicant provide additional screening between the expanded parking lot and Cope Avenue to shield headlight glare from the homes to the south.

We request an allowance for use of outdoor storage of materials or equipment in an orderly and secured fashion, so as not to be visible from Hwy 36. In addition to this request to revise the current Conditional Use Permit, we are submitting a Variance Request to the City requesting approval to install additional parking and a fence on the Cope Avenue side of the lot. Ideally, we would complete this project in conjunction with the scheduled Cope Ave road construction, so as to reduce interruptions. If approved, these additional parking spaces would remove the need for the previous Parking Reduction Authorization approved by the City. Approval of this revision request will allow MG McGrath to continue operating our business in a safe and orderly fashion and therefore continue to positively contribute to the community and City of Maplewood. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely: Tim Sauro E2, Attachment 5 PC Packet Page Number 26 of 32 M. G.
