ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 25, 2022 7 City Planner Jagoe reported this was correct. Councilmember Scott indicated the Class 2 requirement was triggered due to the number of deliveries the applicant was receiving. City Planner Jagoe stated this was the case. Councilmember Holmes inquired if staff had experience with this type of home occupation in any other city she has worked in. City Planner Jagoe reported the last community she worked in had a similar home occupation that included the repair of firearms. She noted this home business required a CUP and to her knowledge there have not been any follow up complaints with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s office. Councilmember Holmes requested staff speak to the revocation process that would be followed if the applicant were to not follow the conditions listed by the City. City Planner Jagoe discussed the process that would be followed to revoke the CUP. Councilmember Holmes requested further information from the applicant regarding the security services he has in place at his home. Mr. Spicer described the contracted security services he has on his home through ADT. He noted he has three motion activated cameras on his property. He reported he has had his security system in place for the past two years. Councilmember Scott asked if Mr. Spicer were to move out of this home, would the CUP remain in place on the property. City Attorney Jamnik reported the CUP runs with the land and would be in place on the property but would only apply to another FFL license holder. He explained this CUP would have specific conditions for the home business that would need to be met. Councilmember Holden questioned if the City could remove the CUP on this property if Mr. Spicer moves. City Attorney Jamnik stated this could not be done by the City. Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. Renee Crumpton, 1680 Wedgewood Circle, stated she understood Mr. Spicer had a security system in place. However, she feared if this business were approved, the public would know which property guns were coming to and this could lead to more break-ins. She stated she was fearful as a homeowner. She noted she was against the requested CUP.
