Public Hearing: A Conditional Use Permit for a Business that Welds in the R-1 Zone J&J Fabrication – John Woodard and Josh Lilly Planner Burrell read the staff report. Public Hearing Opened Flash Deros commented he was a neighbor and he has seen their lights on late at night and knows they have been working, and it does not bother him one bit. Deros added he has never heard any of the neighbors complain. Josh Lillie partner in J & J Fabrication commented the hours of operation recommended in the Conditional Use Permit are 8 to 5 which are typical business hours, but for us we already have full time jobs so when we work in the shop it is after work and on weekends. The Plan in the future is to do this full time and work 8-5. Lillie stated they try and do the noisy work first. Commissioner Flygare asked the reason they cannot work on Saturdays. Planner Burrell answered normal businesses hours are 8-5 weekdays, but that is something the Planning Commission can decide on. Commissioner Handsaker commented our job is to clarify what the code is. Commissioner Cannon stated contractors are allowed to work 7-7. Suggested we allow J & J Fabrication to work 7-7.

Francis City Planning Commission Meeting May 21, 2015 Josh Lillie commented there is an exciting welding business in the shop and we could work under that business. Flash Deros commented knowing these two gentlemen, if someone had an issue they could talk to them and fix it. Chair Jacobson commented this is in a residential area, how do we make this comply for now and in the future as you grow it could turn into something else. Josh Lillie responded if it does grow, we only have two bays, so if we grow we would have to move to a bigger place. Commissioner Handsaker stated in the Development Code it states in a Home/Premise Occupation that you can have no more than one employee working a maximum of twenty hours per week, it does not have anything about working hours, just the noise ordinance 7pm to 7am. Chair Jacobson read from the Development Code “The home/premise occupation shall not interfere or disrupt the peace, quite and domestic tranquility of the neighborhood by creating excessive noise, excessive traffic, nuisance, fire hazard, safety hazard or other adverse effects of commercial uses.” Chair Jacobson stated you would need to follow this Code. Chair Jacobson asked if they needed the building inspector or the Fire Department to inspect. John Woodard answered it is up to code. Public Hearing Closed Commissioner Handsaker asked if we grant a Conditional Use Permit will the business have to comply with the Development Codes along with any restriction we put on. Planner Burrell answered yes. Chair Jacobson suggested: 1. Enforce noise ordinance. 2. Have Fire Marshal inspect business. 3. If more than one employee working, they must come back to the Planning Commission. Planner Burrell suggested: A Business license will be issued once the Fire Marshal has inspected the Business. Subject to following the Noise Ordinance and Development Code section on Home/Premise Occupations Commissioner Flygare motioned to approve to accept the Conditional Use Permit for J & J Fabrication with the Conditions: A Business license will be issued once the Fire Marshal has inspected the Business. Subject to following the Noise Ordinance and Development Code section on Home/Premise Occupation. Commissioner Cannon seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
