In regard to the zoning of farmland for agricultural use and changing the conditional use permit requirements for livestock, the Council discussed as follows: Nayor G~nec state~ the nmjor concern for the citizens is their keeping ~nlmals. The Council will be reasonable in regard to livestock as long as the nuisance ordinance is respected and the nuisance ordinance will still be in effect regardless of changing in zoning to agricultural. Councilmau Cox stated we should delete that portion from the ordinance regarding the conditional use permit. He doesn't think it appropriate that they need it due to the state influx of urban density. He doesn't think the farmer should be penalized. ~ayor Gs_mec suggested no condition use permit necessary at 40 acre parcel or over. ~yor Gamec asked if citizen's had any questions. Councilman Sorteberg stated any 40 acre parcel can be on the 8 year program. Citizen Jerry Peltzer asked what is our ordinance status re animals and acreage. He is considering the 8 year program. ~ayor Gamec suggested he talk to City Administrator Schnelle and get on the Planning and Zoning agenda for any zoning changes he wants to make. Citizen Scroggins inquired about the effect on green acres? ~ayor replied there would be none. Councilman Cox stated the ordinance should stay as is for under 20 acres. ~aY°r Gamec stated 40 acres or less would protect more. ~otion by Councilman Cox and seconded by Councilman Sorteberg to direct the staff to prepare an ordinance changing SllO.90 amending it to eliminate the requirement of a conditional use permit for animals on any tract of land which is 20 acres in size or larger.
