Loren Kohnen stated that they also need to purchase some adjacent property and will have to
come before the city with a subdivision application.
Philip Zietlow stated that the city, itself, has buildings on well sites.
Gary Acromite stated that he would like the ordinance clarified for future councils.
Philip Zietlow stated that council could move to declare this an essential service and
clarify the definition of an essential service building, in the ordinance.
