6 3 S Mr. Ken Rehbein was asked to come forward. Mr. Locher read the section of the building ordinance pertaining to useage of residental land, finding no mention of a riding stable or arena given. Mr. Rehbein invited the Council to attend one of the horse shows, stating that 2/3 of the riders attending were teenagers (which kept them off the streets) and that it was good entertainment. W. Rehbein re -' quested that his property be rezoned to commercial. Mr. Locher explained that there was no mention of a horse arena under commercial in the ordinance. There was discussion among the Council about leaving the land as residential with a recreational restriction or rezoning it with a special use permit. Mr. Bohjanen moved that we call for a hearing on September 23, to rezone to commer- cial all 30 acres for Kenneth Rehbein, this land lying at the Southeast corner of the intersection of Pine and Fourth Avenue. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Mr. L'Allier stated that he preferred that the matter go before the P&Z first. Vote: Aye—Mr. Jaworski, Mr. Rosengren and Mr. Bohjanen. No - - -Mr. Cardinal and Mr. L'Allier. Motion carried. Mr. Jaworski then moved that we call for hearings on September 18 before the Plan- ing and Zoning Board and on September 23 before the Council for a special use permit on Mr. Rehbein's at Fourth and Pine, this to be included for the purpose of a riding stable and arena, indoor and /or outdoor, to accompany the commercial zoning. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rehbein was then questioned about his trailer home parked on Fourth Avenue. He stated that he had been unaware of the ordinance forbidding this as there were other trailers parked in the Village. The person occupying the home is a friend from Michigan, out of work and money, whom Mr. Rehbein moved here and settled in the trailer for a period of one or two years until he can build a house, and is presently working for him, and as such should be a hardship case (similar to that of Rogalla's.) Mr. Bohjanen moved that we call for a special use permit hearing for Mr. Rehbein's trailer effective for a period of one year. The motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Rosengren moved that we give Ken Rehbein a 90 -day permit for his trailer, and that Mr. Rehbein could receive a 90 -day extension permit from the Building Inspector when the first permit was up. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. Rehbein was instructed to see Mr. Dupre. Mr. Ed Schwankel was called before the Council to discuss his trailer home parked on Orange Street. Mr. Schwankl stated that he had brought in the trailer two years ago, lived in it for 15 months, meanwhile using it as an office, and that he was now renting it (more or less) to a man who was helping him in his business which was quite a convenience to him. Also,the trailer is parked on commercial property. Thereupon, Mayor L'Allier moved to grant a 90 -day permit to Mr. Schwankl for his trailer; this permit will be terminated at the end of 90 days and the trailer must be removed; this cannot be considered a hardship case. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Vote: Aye - Mr. Jaworski, Mr. Cardinal, Mr. Rosengren and Mr. L'Allier; No -- Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. Schwankl was instructed to see Mr. Dupre. Next Mr. Dick Olson was called before the Council because of his trailer parked on Highway 8. Mr. Dupre stated that Mr. Olson had received one 90 -day permit more than a year ago, but had not asked for a 90 -day extension permit. Mr. Olson explained that he was not living in the trailer becasue he wanted to but because he was having financial difficulties and could not raise the money to complete his home. He inquired whether he might move into his basement to live; Mr. Dupre stated he could not.
