vice at 3575 Pinto Dr. He stated that the Planning commission had recommended approval with

west needed to be solved.
Brad Hagfors, real estate salesman, stated that they were working with the neighbors to
resolve the drainage question.
Robert Mitchell asked if there was a problem with a residence in a commercial zone.
Ron Batty stated that it would be a 'nonconforming use and the house could not be rebuilt
or expanded.
Stephen Schmit asked what problems there would be if the drainage easements were not
obtained.

Loren Kohnen stated that gravel is considered hard cover.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Schmit to authorize preparation of a resolution approving a
Conditional Use Permit for Paul Piekarski to ^perate a lawn care service from 3575 Pinto Dr.
pending satisfactory resolution of the drainage problem by obtaining easements from neigh-
boring property owners and upon determination of the financial security by the city engineer.
Motion declared carried
Robin Ruben, Conditional Use Permit for Horse Stable
Loren KOhnen reviewed memos, letters and Planning Commission minutes regarding an application
for a Conditional Use Permit from Robin Ruben to operate a horse stable at 4555 Pioneer Tr.
He stated that the Planning Commission had discussed whether or not the property should be
rezoned from residential to commercial to accomodate what has become a commercial operation.
He also explained that there was not an alternate site for a septic system as it had been
fenced some time ago and ruined by horses.
Realtor, Greg Hahn, stated that there was an undisturbed area south of the riding track.
Robert Mitchell asked for information about the drainage problem.
George Gubbins, adjacent property owner, stated that he wanted the water to flow away from
his property as it had done before Tom Kellin regraded the property.
Wilfred Scherer asked if a grass strip could be left between fences.
Robert Mitchell asked for information regarding the intersection of Hwy. 55 and Pioneer Tr.
Glenn Cook stated that a sufficient space for a level landing is needed and that there
should be a 150 ft. separation between Pioneer Tr. north and south of Hwy. 55.
Jim Dillman stated that it would cost approximately $15,000 to realign the intersection.
Glenn Cook stated that it would cost approximately $100,000 toredo the road base and
blacktop.
Robert Mitchell asked why the city was requiring the parking area to be blacktopped.
Loren Kohnen stated that blacktopping is required for a commercial operation.
Robert Mitchell asked if the septic system was working.
Loren Kohnen stated that it was working for the number of people now on the property.
Robert Mitchell stated that Tom Kellins attorney had said that it was used to its
designed capacity.
Loren Kohnen stated that it needs to be designed for maximum capacity, not for one bedroom
and four employees.
Stephen Schmit stated that it should follow commercial guidelines if it is being run as
a commercial business.
Robert Mitchell stated that a commercial site plan was needed including parking, paddock,
roads, green area and septic system.
Ron Batty stated that he had raised the issue of use and whether or not it fits under the
zoning code as do personal use kennels and stables. The applicants for this permit are
requesting a change of use and that he had suggested to them that they make a request for
rezoning.
Louise Otten, owner of Alpine Farms, stated that in other areas of the country a horse
farm and stable are essentially the same and are located in agricultural areas.
George Steiner, Realtor, stated that he had spoken to Planning Commission member, Dave
Wessin, who had been on the Planning Commission and the Comprehensive Plan committee,
who had all intended to keep the area agricultural.
William Soules, Attorney for Robin Ruben, asked what the applicant should do, as this
operation is more akin to agricultural use than businesses allowed in a commercial zone.
Robert Mitchell stated that he would favor a zone applicable to this type of business.
Wilfred Scherer stated that the area in question is a long time away from having sewer.
George Steiner asked if there was a way in which the Conditional Use Permit could be
approved and rezoned later.
Robin Ruben asked how long a process the rezoning would be.
Robert Mitchell stated that it would take six weeks and a lot of work by the applicant
to bring the property into compliance. He asked how long it would be before the road
was blacktopped.
Wilfred Scherer stated that the base would be completed and in about three year it would
be.blacktopped.
Ron Batty stated that if a separate zone is created, minimum acreage for this type of
operation should be addressed.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Scherer to authorize preparation of a resolution denying
the Conditional Use Permit of Robin Rubin for a horse operation at 4555 Pioneer Tr.,
as has been requested, as use of the property has changed from the Conditional Use Permit
given to Tom Kellin and that the applicant may wish to make application for rezoning to
a zone in which a commercial type of horse operation , as is being described, is allowed.
Also the applicant needs to - ovide substantiation that there is an alternate septic system
site and that the drainage problem is solved.
Motion declared carried

outbuilding and construct a new house on the property, as shown on the site plan.

John Rosholt stated that he had purchased additional property to the east and that he had
a plan designed for a primary and secondary septic system.

had expressed.
Donna Roehl stated that a list could be made from the Planning Commission meetings.

ibility of having smaller acreage PUD's in sewered areas, as 5 acre minimums are very
