8- Councilman Johnson stated that Subdivision 13 (4) is meant to try to accomodate some people who may have a problem with strictly a leash law. They would not be able to take the dog out in the field and train him. He felt if there were too many problems with this subdivision they could forget it and have strictly a leash law but he felt it should be accepted as written, strictly an accomodation. Councilman Baumgartner felt it would be a nightmare to handle this subdivision. To train his dog he would have to fence his yard and he wasn't about to do this. He also felt you should grant a hearing to revoke a license when you have a hearing to consider granting a license. Attorney Meyers stated he put in the special use permit, may be revoked by the Council without notice, to make it rather a summary type of proceeding. You can always give a notice if you want but you would have the authority to revoke a license without notice if need be, for instance, if a dog bites someone. Councilman Picker felt Subdivision 13 (4) line three whould read, may conduct a hearing. He would hate to have it mandatory to hold a hearing for each one if theme should be several applications. A roll call was taken on the motion. Ordinance #221 passed. Councilman Johnson asked Deputy Clerk Sandgren to contact our consultants doing our Comprehensive Plan to find out at what stage of completion they are at. A resident asked when the Dog Ordinance would take effect. She was informed it would have to be published twice in the newspaper first and it would be published in the next newsletter. It becomes effective as soon as it is written into law. Councilman Baumgartner's Report: Councilman Baumgartner asked the Attorney to read the ordinance relevant to Used Car Sales Licenses. Attorney Meyers paraphrazed Ordinance #109. Councilman Baumgartner stated he had talked with Mr. Jeffrey Goetz concerning a proposed Used Car Sales License. He had supplied him with the Zoning Ordinance also Ordinance #109 and suggested he appear before the Planning Commission with the sight plans. Councilman Baumgartner read the portion of the Planning Commission minutes of August 28, 1974 pertaining to Mr. Goetz. Mr. Jeffery Goetz and Mr. Joseph Co: appeared with Attorney David Singer. Attorney Singer explained the proposed business would be located in the presently boarded up gas station on the N.E. corner of Highway #10 and Spring Lake Road. The zoning is B -3 and the lighting fixtures for the lot are sufficient for the business. He stated they had appeared at the Planning Commission to reach an agreement on the buffer requirements. He presented a blue print of the area and explained the details. Mr. Goetz said they were salesmen and not repairmen and tha work done on cars would be to get them ready for resale only. Mr. Cox commented that they did not want to run their business like the one down the road which has caused considerable problems. If they wanted to run a repair shop they wouldn't have to consider this much of an investment. Picker Naye Baumgartner Nape Johnson Aye Hodges Aye Neisen Aye
