them in his back yard, and would probably not have more than 100 trees on the
property at one time. He also stated that he wished to sell them from his home

Mayor Pickar explained that in the past the City has denied requests of that nature
and recommended that Mr. Biller try to work out an arrangement with the owner of a
commercial lot.
