did volunteer to serve on the Board.

resign as Ault' s representative to HRA.

tract it is situated on, from a larger

In regards to Item V. , Christ J. and
Margaret Schmidt' s request for a zoning
change at the property located at the
corner of Third Street and Highway 85,
from commercial zoning to R-1 zoning,
Mr. Schmidt was asked again what the
building was going to be used for? He
stated that for now it will be used for
his daughter to live in. The Planning
Commission' s report stated that approval
was given for Christ Schmidt' s daughter
to reside in the building as per Section
17. 28. 020. , which states residence for
proprietor and family of a permitted
commercial use shall be allowed, subject
to approval by the planning commission
and town board. The Town Attorney,
Robert Burroughs, gave his
interpretation of Section 17. 28. 020, C.
He stated because there is no mention of
a requirement that a proprietor' s
residence by physically attached to a
commercial building on commercially
zoned property, that such would not be
required unless the Ordinance is
amended, and thus a residence of the
proprietor in a separate building on the
commercially zoned property would meet
the requirements of the Ordinance if
approved by the Board of Trustees. The
Planning Commission stipulated that only
members of the immediate family could
occupy the residence. In the event the
building is rented a zoning change will
be required. It was pointed out that
the electrical work was not done by a
state licensed electrician, which is in
violation of the state code. There is
not a final inspection or a certificate
of occupancy on the building. Schmidt' s
daughter is presently living in the
building. Strides must be taken to get
siding on building, open sewer drains
need to be addressed. Another concern
of the Planning Commission, and Fire
Department, is the lack of a landing on
second floor door. MOTION WAS MADE BY
TRUSTEE RAU, to approve the Planning
Commissions recommendations with the
above stipulations entered into the
record. Work must be completed by July
4, 1991 ; all violations brought up to
code, proper permitting obtained, a
final inspection passed, and a
Page - 5
certificate of occupancy issued prior to
July 4, 1991. All members voting YES

acre foot of water would have to be

park stated that they would continue to
use pond water for lawn irrigation. The

home park, it will be stated in the

maintained, and that North Weld Water
