Little Falls planning comm10-11-15. gives green light to Waller House

10-12-15 This is astounding....Raquel Lundberg has gotten by for almost 2 years now since her CUP was granted in fall 2013, NOT providing the required 6 off street parking spaces for her 6 bedrooms available to rent, and 10 extra off street parking spaces for all of her tea by appt customers. City will bend over backwards, turn a blind eye, and EVEN change the law, to suit those they like. Others...not so much.  Tammy Zimmerman had to appear in court for refusing to get a CUP and provide off street parking for her boutique customers at her home purchased for business purposes, on 3rd St. S.E.  SHE had to pay a fine and got a year of probation for violating the law...but the WALLERS(original owners of Waller House B+B) got by violating the law for years because city staff and elected representatives turned a blind eye while THEY operated a motel in a residential zone where motel/hotels were NEVER allowed.  Then Raquel and Scott Lundberg, got the city attorneys free legal help to create a new B+B ordinance that allows overnight room rentals in residential districts, and then the planning commission (with city attorneys guidance),  created a loophole for  serving food to their customers.  Why doesn't the city just ALLOW businesses to operate with less restrictions in residential areas (as they do in Mpls/St.Paul)? The city got it right the first time the ordinance was developed because they had an expert for the president of planning commission.(Jean Meyers) But now, not one of the committee members even cracks the book,  to understand zoning rules.
