Septic locations had not been identified for any of the proposed parcels. Mr. Dan Birdsall and Mr. Fred Dewall, ERA Real Estate, were present to explain where the parcels were located in relation to the Peloquin property, and identified the parcel that is intended to be combined with a parcel owned by the Peloquins. Peltier opened the public hearing. Paul Glamos, Glamos Wire, 5561 N 152nd St., asked if the proposed parcel B was currently zoned Industrial and the City Administrator stated it was.

Kellison asked the developer what the time frame would be, and Dewall stated they were ready to proceed.
