Agenda Item #3 Business license Michael & Emily Mills - Empyreal Massage & Bodyworks Ms. Mills introduced herself and business, saying she is transferring from Price.

Commissioner Zauss asked about the zoning and was advised it was MH zoning. The house is a mobile home and Ms. Mills says she has been remodeling for the last year.

Autos in and out will be 1 at a time and there was ample parking. Commissioner Moosman says that the already large amount of traffic on the road would negate any impact to the neighborhood. Ms. Mills requested signage on the property and that was denied by Commissioner Moosman based on home occupancy business rules but suggested signage on a personal vehicle. Commissioner Zauss stated that signage on the property would require a zoning change to mixed use. Motion: Commissioner Moosman moved to grant business license. Commissioner Zuass seconded.
