This would be difficult for someone to start a Bed and Breakfast or a Home <br /> Occupation and have their business end after 5 years. <br /> Mr. Burslie stated he was comfortable leaving Bed and Breakfast as a Conditional Use <br /> Permit. However, a Home Occupation grows and after 5 years of growth the City may <br /> want them to move into,another, more suitable location. <br /> Planning Commission Member Brown stated it could be devastating to the business <br /> owner that their business would have to come to an end. <br /> Mr. Burslie explained Type III and Type IV Home Occupations are for higher, more <br /> intensive uses such as a chiropractor or a lawn care service. <br /> The 5-year limit is an issue. <br /> Minutes 1 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> February 18, 2016 <br />
