67 <br /> Approved 5/7/14 <br /> 163 <br /> 164 Ashley Moncado Personal use or doing work for the general public,exchanging money? <br /> 165 <br /> 166 James Lea: For a living,exchanging money,and that's how they make their living. So what this is saying is they can <br /> 167 no longer do that? <br /> 168 <br /> 169 Ashley Moncado. Currently it is not permitted through this standard. This was discussed at the November Planning <br /> 170 Board meeting but a formal amendment was not presented to staff It was also discussed at the quarterly public <br /> 171 hearing and again at the December Planning Board meeting At that time the only items identified as the Planning <br /> 172 Board wished to see as now being permitted was building, electrical, plumbing mechanical, grading or other <br /> 173 construction contracting The Planning Board did not cite the need to allow the remaining automotive uses to be <br /> 174 permitted as home occupation. <br /> 175 <br /> 176 Pete Hallenbeck: Do you see a difference between automotive detailing and the other items in that list? <br /> 177 <br /> 178 James Lea: I do see a difference because you are basically cleaning cars. If you are repairing your car or someone <br /> 179 else's car,you should have the right to do that,y g tt oo <br /> 180 <br /> 181 Ashley Moncado We are not restricting people from doing work on their personal car When it becomes an actual <br /> 182 operation having people dropping their car and working on multiple cars that is not permitted <br /> 183 <br /> 184 James Lea: Even if they have the space? <br /> 185 <br /> 186 Ashley Moncado You are obviously operating business out of your home. <br /> 187 <br /> 188 Perdita Holtz: They are not permitted as a home occupation,there are other avenues to get approval. <br /> 189 <br /> 190 James Lea: If they have the land to do it. <br /> 191 <br /> 192 Pete Hallenbeck: Your basic comment is when you detail a car, it is not noisy or messy,why is that on the list? <br /> 193 <br /> 194 James Lea: All three of those fall in that category <br /> 195 <br /> 196 Herman Staats: I think this is an example where the size of your lot does make a difference. If you have a one acre <br /> 197 lot in the middle of town, I don't want a body shop next door to me but if I own 50 acres out in the country and there <br /> 198 are other avenues where I could utilize to run that business there then I would like to have the opportunity to do it. I <br /> 199 think that is a good example of where the size of the lot does have an impact. <br /> 200 <br /> 201 Pete Hallenbeck: If you went for a conditional use permit, they clearly define what you can and cannot do The <br /> 202 process involves your neighbor's input. <br /> 203 <br /> 204 James Lea: Some of my neighbors do work at home on vehicles. I feel they have the right to take their garage and <br /> 205 service people's cars if that is what they choose. <br /> 206 <br /> 207 Paul Guthrie. We rent property in another county in this state and many times deal only by telephone and receive <br /> 208 mail back and forth about those rentals. Does that put us in a category to need a permit from Orange County to do <br /> 209 that business that takes place totally in another county? <br /> 210 <br /> 211 Ashley Moncado. I would not think so. You don't have people visit you on site and there is no advertisement on that <br /> 212 property <br /> 213 <br /> 214 Pete Hallenbeck: It has come up that large properties are favored and I think that is a natural outcome of the goal of <br /> 215 trying to have a balance because when you have a large property, you have to make a lot more noise when you are <br /> 216 on a large property We have talked about enforcement and it is complaint driven We have some idea of the <br /> 4 <br />
