ADMINISTRATORS COMMENTS —� City Administrator Date COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: APPROVED ❑ DENIED ❑ OTHER Documend City of Cotta Grove Minnesota To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: Caron Stransky, City Clerk Date: January 6, 2010 Subject: Massage Business Application Background The City of Cottage Grove has received an application from Ramona Westerberg to operate massage business at 8617 West Point Douglas Road in Cottage Grove (Point West Business Center). Ms. Westerberg is currently licensed by the City as a massage therapist and to operate a massage business out of her home at 7850 Lamar Avenue South in Cottage Grove. She has operated this business since 2007 and has applied for renewal of her licenses for 2010, but has since decided to move and expand her business to the new location. The Public Safety Department has already conducted their investigation for renewal of her current licenses and has not found any facts that would constitute a basis for denial of the applications. Public Safety Director Woolery confirmed that no further investigation would need to take place in order for Ms. Westerberg to operate out of her new location. Our city code requires that a public hearing be held for a new massage business license application, and that notices be mailed to property owners within a 500 -foot radius of the proposed business. These notices were mailed to the four property owners on December 11, 2009. With the expansion of her business, Ms. Westerberg plans to hire additional massage therapists. Each massage therapist would need to undergo a background investigation and be licensed by the City of Cottage Grove. As Ms. Westerberg will no longer be the sole massage therapist working at her business, the business license fee exemption as stated in our city code will no longer apply. Ms. Westerberg has already paid this fee and the fee for renewing her massage therapist license. Recommendation Hold the public hearing and authorize issuance of the massage business license to Ramona Westerberg /DBA The Healing Place of Cottage Grove to operate at 8617 West Point Douglas Road. • City of Cottage Grove NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, the City of Cottage Grove has received an application from Ramona Westerberg /DBA The Healing Place of Cottage Grove to operate a massage business at 8617 West Point Douglas Road, Cottage Grove, Washington County, Minnesota. A public hearing will be held on said application on Wednesday, January 6, 2010, at 7:30 p.m., by the Cottage Grove City Council, at the Cottage Grove City Hall Council Chamber, 7516 80 Street South, Cottage Grove, Washington County, Minnesota.
