Mr. Hill moved to approve the minutes of April 17, 1974 as presented. Seconded by Mr. Kelling. Motion carried. Mr. Klemp, who leases property on Lake Drive just North of Elm Street, appeared before the Planning and. Zoning Board with a request to house horses at that location. He has seven head at the present time and stated that these are for their private use and the use df friends. He had rented horses at one time but no longer does this. tlr. Karth asked if he carried the proper liability insurance,. Mr. Klemp said they have insurance on the horses but not liability for the riders. This was the reason for discontinuing to rent horses. He had also been under the impression that he was leasing more land than he is. They ride the horses along the streets, back along 4th Avenue, which deadends at the Freeway, then along the Freeway fence and back through a grove of trees. Mr. L'Allier thought that Mr. Klemp would discover that liability insurance for the leasing of horses a very expensive premium. If this kind of operation is set up at that location, then he would need more acreage, a special use permit which requires a hearing and the approval of adjoining property owners, and the liability coverage. Mr. dill asked if' five acres wasn't required in order to keep animals and was told, Yes. Mr. Hill asked if tlr. Kremp is in the process of acquiring more property. Mr. Klemp said he is negotiating wlth:t•1r. Tilsen for the purchase or leasing of more acreage. They only ride the trails along the roads that'are left by the miniblke users and he only has two neighbors, Mr. Glenn Rehbein and the neighbors to the Borth of his home. Mr. L'Allier asked if he owned any of the land and Mr. Klemp said he did not, thdt he was only leasing the property. Whether he buys or not depends On the price lire. Tilsen wants for the land. Mr. Karth felt that there is not enough room for horse back riding. There are homes along Elm Street and this area should not be used. Mr. L'Allier thought that since he is .in the process of acquiring more land, there is no decision for this Board to make. The matter of the acreage must be clarified first.
