I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Commissioner I~ndriksen asked if Mr. Schleuter was suggesting that this plant does not have an odor problem at/~11 times. He stated that when he drives down Highway #10 he always smells the plant's odor; therefore it is obvious that the plant smells at all times and it just depends on which way the wind is }lowing as to who gets to smell it. Mr. Schleuter s~ted that according to Zoning Administrator Frolik the City has never received complaints. He affirmed that if there are complaints, they would like to hear them so that they can be addressed. Commissioner Hendriksen stated he believes that the applicant doesn't have the right to force people to smell ~at odor in order for them to make a profit. Commissioner IJaDue objected to this discussion, stating that Commissioner Hendriksen is out of order and appear~ to be prosecuting the applicant. Chairperson BaWden and Commissioner Deemer agreed with Commissioner LaDue's assessment. Chairperson Bavqden recounted that neither the City nor the company has received any complaints. If Commissione~ Hendriksen has complaints, he should call the City and follow proper procedure. Commissioner I~endriksen explained that he was objecting to the fact that Mr. Schleuter states that the odor is an occasional occurrence. Commissioner !-p.!)uc summarized that Mr. Schleuter is not trying to "puli the wool over our eyes" and he has addreissed the problem tonight.
