8 0 February 27, 1978 Mrs. Mary Wahlberg asked if there would be fences and Mr. Shipp said, not unless there is something to be stored outside. He said they would prefer to store all materials inside and does not anticipate the installation of any fences. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Wahlberg what his thoughts were on the holding back on the rezoning and. Mr. Wahlberg said he did not know the implication of Heavy Industrial Zoning and asked if there was a definition. Mr. Locher read the allowed uses in a Heavy Industrial Zone as set forth by Ordinance #56. Mr. Locher said an Ordinance would be adopted for this rezoning setting forth the planned usage as stipulated by Mr. Shipp. Mr. Zelinka said, in view of the fact this facility operates on a normal sewer system with- out excessive demands, this should be an attrictive addition to the City. This City can no longer afford to remain a bedroom community due to the various tax structures and a comm- ercial installation such as this should help in this. Mr. McLean moved to approve the rezoning for Feed - Rite with the operation to be limited to chemical storage, warehousing, distribution, office facilities and lab activities. Mrs. Mary Wahlberg wanted it noted in the records that she object to this rezoning. Mr. Shipp asked if these stipulations would restrict the selling of the property and chang- ing the usage? Mr. Zelinka said, if there is a drastic change in the operation, then it would have to be reciewed by the Council. Since the requirement of 5 acres for commercial establishment is set forth by ordinance and this parcel of land contains 11+ acres, there is a possibility of a portion of it being sold and another facility being built there. This would be considered at that time. Mr. Zelinka seconded the Motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Zelinka moved to close the hearing at 10 :00 P.M. Seconded by Mr. McLean.

Mr. McLean moved to approve the preliminary plat of Lakes Addition #4 as presented. Sec- onded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. McLean moved to set a public hearing for March 13, 1978 at 8:30 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Art Rehbein had presented two plans for two different styles of homes that he wants to construct on a lot on Marshan Laoe. Both designs were undersized.
