May 11, 1981 ordinance had been made available for persons in the audience. Mr. Locher had reviewed this proposed ordinance and had not found any problems with teh statements in the Oridnance. 3 There was a question on the portion repealing certain ordinances and Mayor Gourley explained this merely repeals all other ordinances now in effect and makes this the principle law. Mrs. Elsenpeter had some questions as to how this would apply to parcels of lamd and animals kept there, containing over 10 acres. Mayor Gourley suggested that the opening portion of the Ordinance be rewritten by Mrs. Elsenpeter to include this point. There were some questions as to registration and the reasons for this requirement from the audience. Mayor Gourley explained this would allow pre- existing non - conforming uses to remain. He also pointed out that under the current ordinance a hobby farm must contain 10 acres or more. This ordinance is an effort to allow animals on less than 10 acres. Mayor Gourley announced a recess at this point. He asked that the people who have differences with this Ordinance as it is written contact either Council members or Mr. MCGrath sometime during the next two weeks and let them know. This Ordinance will then be on the May 26, 1981 agenda. There is to be no action on this oridnance at this meeting. The meeting was reconvened. Mayor Courley. asked for comments from the Council members at this time. Mr. Jaworski said his only objection was that he felt the animal unit per acre is too high. As it is now set forth there could be 500 ducks on five acres of alnd - also 11 ponies could be kept on 5 acres of land - he flet it would be difficult to live next door to 500 ducks or chickesn on five acres of land. Discussion on this ordinance was suspended until the May 26, 1981 agenda. ATTORNEY'S REPORT Final approval of Schilling Industrial Park. Mr. Locher said he had not seen the final plat.
