After some discussion, Mayor Gourley felt that this Council should require a special use permit to regulate the number of animals and to regulate the pigs down of none. Mr. Locher felt this was a pre - existing non - conforming use and there was some question as to the pre- existing operations. Mr. McLean moved to provide Mr. Scuhy with a special use application with a letter outlining the reasons why this isneeded and be directed to present this special use permit to this Council within 30 days.

These minutes sart in 1965 - pages 103,109, 115, 117, 147, 171, There was further action he will bring up at a later date. Mr. Locher noted that if this street has been maintained for a period of six years, this would be considered a cartway and the City would bave a 33' easement on either side. Mr. Marier disagreed with this. Mayor Gourley asked Mr. Locher to re- search this and report back at the next Council meeting. The draft of an Ordinance dealing with accessory buildings was discussed. This was explained by Mr. Schumacher. The Council had requested this amendment tobe drafted. This amendment would limit the number and size of accessory buildings in a residential area. There was discussion of the size limit and what is the definition of an accessory building.

After some discussion, the general consensus of the Council was there was no problem with this installation. The bids for. , the installation of a diesel fuel tank was discussed. These bids had been obtained by Mr. Volk for use in conjunction with the new truck. There were questions as to the location of the installation and the difference between storing fuel or purchasing from a local dealer.
