REQUESTS. COMMUNICATIONS & LICENSES <br /> 5.1 Richard Genrich - Special Use Permit <br /> Mr. Zimmerman, prospective land purchaser, was present, and stated that he <br /> would like the opportunity to conduct a wood splitting operation on the land <br /> He stated that the operation was an agricultural product, and would fit <br /> with the surrounding area. Spitzer mentioned the concerns of the local <br /> citizens relating to truck traffic and damage to the roads. Zimmerman <br /> said that they would be doing no delivering in the spring months, because <br /> they have to abide by the state regulations. Their business would con- <br /> sist of wholesale only ( local chain stores and private home owners) . <br /> They have no intention of having individuals coming to the site to <br /> purchase wood. The operation would employ four people - six at the most. <br /> The Special Use Permit would be granted for the entire 105 acres, but <br /> only be located as indicated on the site plan. Zimmerman did not feel <br /> that noise would be a factor in the operation because of the use of <br /> electric motors, hydraulicly driven. The logs would be brought in at <br /> 100", cut into 16" pieces and then split. Zimmerman stated that a <br /> private access would be constructed on the property to service trucks, <br /> and Spitzer requested that road be indicated on the site plan. <br /> Zimmerman was concerned that the city would be able to shut down the <br /> operation at any time, and Spitzer stated that this was not ordinarily <br /> the policy of the city. The city did have the option, though, if con- <br /> ditions of the permit were not met. <br />
