ITEM 4: PUBLIC HEARINGS -- Noae ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS 5-a. Livestock Ordinance -Discussion Kebschull brought attention to the memo in the packet that included changes made by Council to the proposed livestock ordinance. Kebschull suggested a work session be tentatively scheduled for after the next regular meeting to discuss the ordinance when there should be a full Commission. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the ordinance. Jackman was adamant that she didn't want another work session on the ordinance as she felt it had been discussed enough and it just needed to be voted upon. Goecke agreed but made the following comments on Council's changes. Put rabbits back on the list of animals not allowed in certain zones and the number be limited to one or two. If two, then they should be of the same sex. If not, one should be spayed or neutered. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 28, 2000 PAGE 3 The first paragraph of Item (dJ(2) should be included in item (gJ. • Suggested the individuals wanting livestock should bear the responsibility of posting a sign in their yard to notify the neighbors of their intent. • Wanted the permit for the 4-H, F~.iture Farmers of America or Boy/Girl Scout groups to be limited to one year rather than two. • Wanted the words "leased by" removed from Item (d){3). Another lengthy discussion ensued and Kebschull pointed out that it was illegal to require that 1.00% of the neighbors be in agreement. She noted, it was a ruling from the courts, therefore the City has to advertise and the applicant must go through the conditional use permit process. Kebschull also noted that Mayor Williams cornrnented that if the local paper put more detail on the ordinance perhaps the citizens would have had more of an interest. Kebschull reiterated that she felt another public hearing should be held. A motion was offered to postpone the discussion until the newt meeting when a full cornrnission would be presented. With no second to the motion, the motion died. Kebschull reminded the cornrnission that the issue was on the agenda for discussion purposes only and not for action. After additional discussion it was decided that Kebschull would ask the Attorney if another public hearing was legally necessary. The following recommendations will be forwarded to Council: • Rabbits be put back on the list of livestock prohibited in certain zones. • Item (b), the lot size be changed to 1.25 acres and the second sentence be rexnoved in its entirety. • It was agreed that City Council would revisit the ordinance within 24 months but the Planning and Zoning Commission would not be required to do the same. ITEM 6: 6-a. PZ00-22-Transfer of Conditional Use Permit PZ89-10 (Bed & Breakfast 8s Charter Service) from Willis J. 8s Joan M. Thayer to Paul D.
