As you are aware, Denmark Township (Town) requires issuance of a Certificate of Compliance before operation of a home occupation is allowed. It is my understanding that Custom Asphalt may already be operating at the premises.  \nYour Property is located in the Town’s SFE Single Family Estate and Home Occupations are allowed in the district with the issuance of a CoC. Chapter One, Section 2, of the Denmark Township Development Code (Development Code) defines a Home Occupation as follows:  \nHome Occupation: Use of a property zoned residential or agricultural for gainful employment which is a) clearly incidental and subordinate to the use of the property as residential; b) carried on solely within the main dwelling or an accessory building; c) does not alter or change the exterior character or appearance of the property; and d) created and operated by the occupant of the dwelling.  \n• Examples of potentially allowable home occupations include office, professional service, hairdressing by occupant only, minor repair services excluding automobile or truck repair, photo/art studio, dressmaking or alterations, and teaching/tutoring limited to individual lessons. Home occupations are not limited to this list and occupations on this list do not automatically qualify.  \n• Examples of uses not allowed under this definition include auto repair and painting, barber shops and/or beauty salons, kennels for the keeping of any domestic or nondomestic animals, medical offices, private schools with organized classes, tourist homes, restaurants, and retail sales. Prohibited uses are not limited to this list.  \nA Home Occupation must satisfy the requirements set out in Chapter Two, Part 3, Section 2.23. The processes for seeking a CoC is set out in Chapter One, Section 12 of the Development Code. The Zoning Administrator can only issue a CoC if it “will not be contrary to the provisions of this Development Code.”  \nFrom a submittal standpoint, the Development Code requires that the application must “be accompanied by development plans of the proposed use showing such information as may be reasonably required by the Township, as established by Township ordinance or resolution. These plans shall contain adequate information from which the Township can determine if the proposed development will meet all development standards if the project proceeds in accordance with such plans. This may include, but is not limited to site plans, building plans, grading plan, etc.”  \nDevelopment Code, Section 12.1.  \nThe Town has received an application which requests operating Custom Asphalt out of your home. There was no additional information provided. In conversation with WSB, you indicated  \nthat there are three employees, and you store two dump trucks and four trailers at the site. You indicated there were no signs posted at the property and no customers travel to the site. It was also indicated that the employees come to the property in the morning to pick up the vehicles and then leave them at the end of the workday.  \nI have reviewed the application materials and find as follows.  \nFINDINGS OF FACT  \nThere are four criteria that must be met for granting of a CoC for a Home Occupation, which include a) clearly incidental and subordinate to the use of the property as residential; b) carried on solely within the main dwelling or an accessory building; c) does not alter or change the exterior character or appearance of the property; and d) created and operated by the occupant of the dwelling.  \n• The principal use of the property is as a resi","cbCaicb4RZNSCVmm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicb4RZNSCVmm","pdf",41535,"English","# Findings of Fact\n## Home Occupation criteria under the Development Code\n## Outdoor storage, exterior character, and employee/occupant limits\n## Nuisance and complaint considerations\n# Decision","[{\"question\":\"What Certificate of Compliance (CoC) is being requested and for what location?\",\"answer\":\"The request seeks a CoC approval to permit operation of Custom Asphalt as a home occupation at 12010 St Croix Trail South.\"},{\"question\":\"What Development Code requirements determine whether the home occupation can be approved?\",\"answer\":\"Approval depends on criteria that the use is incidental and subordinate to residential use, carried out solely within the main dwelling or accessory building, does not change the property’s exterior character, and is created and operated by the dwelling occupant.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the review conclude the proposed operation does not meet the home occupation standards?\",\"answer\":\"The letter identifies onsite storage of commercial vehicles and visible equipment, inconsistency with outdoor storage/performance standards, and employee involvement that conflicts with the ordinance’s resident-only engagement requirement, alongside concerns about nuisance and complaints.\"}]","Certificate of Compliance (CoC) Approval Request Letter | PDF",1791297254]
