ives for sewering the area either by using Orono and Long Lake lines or running a line ind-
ependently to the sewer interceptor.

2. JEFF HOWARD
Richard Sehieffer explained that because of complaints Mr. Howard appeared in court and was
told to appear before Council and request approval of his operation. This is an R-A zoning
and he is in the business of building and selling animal cages, an operation which is not

ordinance. He stated that Council must decide if this is allowed under a home occupation
type business.

line to 120 ft. on the East property line and that his signs, etc. must be kept beyond that

water from the lot because it is much higher than other lots. He also reported that the
footings of the building had remained under water during the winter.

can do.
