The property is properly zoned Rural Residential, and a Type IV Home Occupation is listed as a conditional use in this zone. 2. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that the intersection of Wild Acres Road and Evenson Road should be realigned since the intersection is currently skewed. Increased traffic from the proposed use could potentially create safety issues at this intersection. 3. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, as the property directly to the east of the applicants' is zoned agricultural and contains an accessory structure and other properties are rural in character, and some contain accessory structures. Other businesses are located in nearby including a barber/salon about 3/ mile from the property, a day care on Evenson Road, and Anderson Brothers about 2 miles from the property. There are few residential structures in the area. 4. The proposed use has the potential to be injurious to public safety because of an increase in traffic at Wild Acres Road and Evenson Road. This intersection was identified in the Comprehensive Plan as being in need of realignment due to the skewing of the intersection. 5. The proposed use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other properties in the vicinity as the majority of business-related activities will be performed off-site. Employees will enter in the morning to pickup equipment and work off-site for the remainder of the `, day, excepting any office employees to field phone calls.
