• • • Planning & Zoning Board June 11, 1997 Page 12 Ms. Dahl suggested that a buffer for neighbors be built along bordering resident property lines. She requested that the applicant realize the problems neighbors are having with noise and traffic. She is bothered by the traffic and does not want to see a child hurt because traffic is not being considered. Mr. Gelbmann stated that the Fire Code compliance is a big concern for him. It is very important to assure safety to the large numbers of people who come to that building. He is surprised that the combustible material has not been removed because it seems that it would be a simple process and something to add to safety immediately. He suggested that Mr. Rehbein hold a neighborhood meeting to resolve issues before the Board reviews the application at the next meeting. Chair Schaps stated that the activity is great, and Mr. Rehbein has great neighbors. He encouraged him to give them the opportunity to express what they like and do not like. City Engineer Ahrens offered the services of the City Consulting Engineer to review proposed changes that would further protect residents and make sure everything is done properly. Chair Schaps requested that the Fire Chief review his compliance with his recommendations again. The motion carried unanimously, 6 -0. Chair Schaps had to leave the meeting at 8:20 p.m. Mr. Johnson continued the meeting as Acting Chair. C.

The riding stable is on a 10 -acre parcel and houses 15 to 16 horses. There is a large riding arena attached to the stable. The space between the stable and riding arena is the subject of the request. The reason for the request is that the property is zoned rural with a conditional use permit for use as a riding and boarding stable. This conditional use permit has been in place since before the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance. The building code issues raised by the Building Inspector have been addressed by letter from a Building Code Consultant. The applicants have indicated their willingness to make necessary corrections to the structure. If the Board finds this to be an acceptable use, staff would recommend approval with the following conditions:
