Crichton briefly outlined discussion at the December 9, 1974, meet-
i n9 wh ich see.r.ed to indicaTe that ~ls. Nelson is not hired by Ritter
Ditching, but does make out the payroll for that company; money paid

f-4s. Nelson c01tracts to do answering service and dispatching and makes
out checks and other office duties - claims to be an independent con-
tractor (ar, answering service type business, about 18 hrs. a day -
-e easier to do it in her' own home) . Crichton noted that IT is The clerical
duties, for Ritter Ditching, that results in trucks coming to the .
horr,e, picking up checl'~5 p invoices, etc.
Ms~ Nelson s.tated that she has agreed to not have trucks stop aT her
hon:e. She sa j d fJlr. Ritter does not work there reg u ! a r I y; he does

Crichton said this is a r€lS i de:lt i a I dlst!-ict, and if the business
has had ar, imp6c;'h on the ne i ghiJOrhood, he doe s not think it should
be permitted.
Wingert said he has trouble accepting thisasa "normal home occu-
pation" - rature of tho bus I ness (communication, trucks and equip.

Donna Johnson ( attorrwy represunti ng residents in opposition to the

A Spacial Use Permit i s ll:,ed to make an exception, incidental
to the use as a dwe I ling. In response to Feyeralsen's statement
, '
that he did not see any t,'ucks at this res idenc'e from 3-5 p..m.
when he crove by, Mrs. JOllnson said this business does nOT operate
in the wln'ter months - on y after load I imits are removad from

is incidental to ~1r. Rltt€lr's business operated from this ,~ddress .

Crepeau asked the 'ollo"wlng questions:
How many In attendance tonight 1 ive in this Immediate area?
(Abou t 15 hands .....ere raised,)
How many are objecting to this operation?
(About fShands I.ere raised.)
Olmen sa I d,''rhe on I y roa Ily val:d argument, as I see i.t, Is the trucks
in the neighborhood. I concur with restricTions recommended by the
Planning Commission, )-0 which Ms. Nelson has agreed j'o comply. If
she .follows these, I see no reason why this Special Use Permit should
. not be approved. II
Crichton read the Planning Commission recommendations, and the Publ Ie
Safety Committee recommendations aloud.
Wingert moved, seconded by Crichton, that the COline! I deny the
appllcat!on for a Specl a i Use Permit requested by Ms. Nelson, 1~4
Edgewater Avenue, because:
I. This occupation does not meet the definition of "Home Occu-
pation" as defined by Ordinance No. 99, in that this occupa-
tion i s Int1matety connected with a construction business,
I<h i ch has the pvtential of gene rat i ng truck traffic that is
'roo exce ss i ve for a resldentiaJ.area,
2. There is significant resident opposition TO the issuance
of this Special Use Perm it.
3. The recommendation from the Public Safety CommIttee the t a
safety hazard can occur because of the nature and consTruc-
t; on of '~he s1'reets in the general area, Streets are not
built to allow for much truck traffic, which i s IndIcaTed as
a natural part of This business.
Motion carried (WIngert, Crichton, Crepeau voting In favor of the
motion; Olmen, Feyereisen voting in opposiTion).

A ~j i tn plan, ndicating "i"heportlon of -I-he pa rk to which they propose
to I~e locate the model mob ile homes sales area, was pr'esented to the
C'iunc i i for approva I.
t4r. Parker said )chey propose tc comp lete a II ~'ork eaf,t of Road C In
1975; a I I ,"ork west of Road C I n 1976.
Crichton stated that, as he underSTands the recuest, AI-den ~1anor will
. not be comp I e-'-ed I n 1974, as provided by the SFecial Use Permit
~Ih i ch was granted; therefore, an amended or ne.' Special Use Permit
will be neces ~;,3 ry to enable completion of the Fark, as now scheduled.
He said '+ is his understalding that a new or emended Special Use
' ,
Permit would include the park dedication prov I f.i on, now applicable
for a II subdivision develooments. He sa i d i n this particular case
he would assume that the V i I I age would requ ire I.and (Instead of a ca sh
donation) because of the need for a neighborhood park in th I s a rea of
The V i I I age - an approximately 4.8 to 6 acre park siTe., somewhere
within th'd Ardsn Manor m-:'bile home park.
I n d;scu~;sion of the par~ dedication matter, I t was noted by I~r .
Parker that the area around the recreation building might be an area
wh i ch c(',u I d be so dedicated; streets and utilities already i nsta II ed
in the balance of the park would probably preclude these areas for
par-k dedication. Mrs. Adams questioned hO~1 this dedication could be
made i" rega rds to their mortgage committments; f inane I ng requires
base figure of 200 un i -:"5.
Cr i ch.ron noted that It Is custcmary for dellelorer to work with Parks
