Council 4/10/78 Page 5 The proposal from Mr. Vern Herting, which was tabled at earlier meet- ings, was to sell wood burning stoves from his home and have storage in his garage. The definition of principal structure was discussed as to whether an attached garage was an accessory building or a part of the principal structure. Mr. Nereson was directed to discuss the definition with the City Attorney, Bill Goodrich. The Herting proposal was tabled until further clarification of the home occupation ordinance could be reached. 5) Discussion of animal complaint on Cobalt Street Some of the Councilmen have been contacted concerning an individual who moved into a home on Cobalt Street and then started to raise pigs. Mr. Nereson said that he went out and looked at the subject property, did not think that it was terribly objectionable but if it got any worse it could be a problem. Mr. Nereson indicated he will write a letter to the person asking him about his intentions. Mr. Nereson was directed to write a letter indicating that Ramsey is aware of it and that he is in violation of an ordinance if he is on less than three acres and continues to raise animals. 6) Arbor Day Tree Sale A tree sale will be held this Saturday, from 7:00 A.M. until noon at the old City Hall. The 4-H Club wants to plan an Arbor Day Ceremony to plant a tree at the new City Hall site. It was decided to hold the Ceremony on Thursday evening, April 20, and Mr. Nereson will notify the Council as to the time. 7) Complaint regarding Klemish's debris north of 167th Mayor Cox explained that two years ago Mr. Klemish cleaned up one side of the road and now there is a lot of debris on the other side of the road and told Mr. Klemish that he thought it should be cleaned up. Mr. Klemish said he will do it in time. Mr. Bob Gfroerer, 16810 Quicksilver Street, said that the original pole barn is too close to the lot line and is going to be used for a business which the neighbors were not told about. He said another pole barn is okay as long as he parked the trucks inside, but there has never been a truck in the building. Mr. Gfroerer also complained about skunks in the area. He said his property value is devalued. Mrs. Pat Carroll, 5953 - 169th Lane, said they paid a high price for their property and are paying high taxes and are unhappy with Mr. Klemish's land. Mrs. Cheryl Stanek, 6061 - 169th, said she is concerned about the ordi- nance and his operating a commercial business on residential land whether he pays commercial taxes or not. She was concerned about her property value dropping and said she was not notified of the business as an adjoining property owner.
