Occasionally he does give tours along with his lecturing (twice <br />a year or so), but that there would be ample parking. The structure is <br />not bad to look at, but Mr. Diemert stated that he would plant poplars, <br />and the height would probably be from 12-13 feet. Mr. Diemert explained that <br />he would be hiring about two youth to help, but that he would have to pick <br />them up as they usually don't drive themselves. Mr. Minor expressed con- <br />cern for his three childreD, and Mr. Diemert stated that he has children <br />also and was concerned for them too. Mr. Diemert stated that the only additional <br />noise would be from a small fan, and that as far as expansion is concerned, it <br />wouldn't pay, and if needed, would relocate. Ken Peterson explained that in <br />such a case, Mr. Diemert would have to come before the commission again. <br /> <br />Mr. Tom Sheldon, 5840 159th N.W. asked if the structure would be permanent, and <br />if the plastic would be flapping around. Mr. Diemert stated that it would not <br />be on a cement slab, and that other structures he built over three years ago, <br />have not had the plastic come loose. <br /> <br />Art Dunn questioned if a compost would be used, arid Mr. Diemert stated that <br />a 3 x 6 enclosed with metal, and no garbage would be used. <br /> <br />A1 Sorteberg asked how close the house to the north would be. Mr. Diemert <br />sated 150' or more. <br /> <br />Public Hearing adjourned 7:55. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted,, <br /> ? <br /> <br />Kathleen Schneider. <br /> <br /> <br />
