<br />MINUTES 2 <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />July 16, 2015 <br /> <br />Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. Catharine Funk was present. Mr. Burslie <br />pointed out that no signage for the home occupation is included with this application. <br />The home occupation will need a permit for signage for the business. <br /> <br />Mr. Burslie further stated neighbors had concerns with the business being open on <br />Sunday, although applicant has indicated no plan to conduct business on Sundays. He <br />suggested the addition of a condition stating “The business shall not be allowed to <br />operate on Sundays”. Applicant agreed to the additional condition. <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENT: <br /> <br />No public comment. <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENT CLOSED. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Member Hallan stated that the dimensions indicated on diagram <br />labeled page 2 of 2 are too large; 360 square feet is allowed and the dimensions indicate <br />the area being 384 square feet. Mrs. Funk explained not the entire space will be used for <br />the salon. The common hallway was included in the calculations and should have been <br />excluded. <br /> <br />Mrs. Funk stated she is closing her shop in town for medical reasons and may not open a <br />salon in her home.
