The Vermilion Board of Zoning Appeals was presented with a written legal opinion from the city law department regarding a home-occupation matter at 225 Woodside Ave. The chair read a portion of the opinion and said the full analysis would be attached to the meeting minutes.
According to the summary read into the record, the law department recommended denying the applicant’s request for a variance to permit an automotive repair business to operate as a major home occupation. The opinion further advised that, upon expiration of any current minor-home-occupation permit, the Zoning Board should decline to issue permits allowing the auto repair business to operate even as a minor home occupation, and that any prior conditions attached to a minor home-occupation permit should be strictly enforced in the interim.
