Mayor Cotant declared the public hearing open on the proposed revision of the City of Chubbuck's Land Use Ordinance. Maurice Guidinger, 501 Chickadee, asked how dogs would be limited and the provisions for owning several dogs. Don Andra, 711 Victor, asked about control of other animals such as sheep and horses. Mr. Andra said he had four dogs and plans to have seven dogs, voiced objection to proposed ordinance allowing only two dogs in residential zones. Jane Guidinger, 501 Chickadee, stated they have four dogs and breeds them and feels it is communistic to tell one how many dogs an owner can keep. Ruth Ann Merrell, 204 Mingo, said she felt the proposed ordinance will not solve the cities problem of barking dogs, that the provisions will only hurt owners of three or more dogs. Tom Cromwell, 166 Mingo, said he knows of a family with two dogs that causes more problems than families with three and more dogs. Maurice Guidinger asked that the parts of the ordinance concerning dogs be read. Attorney Winmill read portions of ordinance with regulations concerning dogs. 77 PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED: John Stoddard, 211 Hiway, stated he felt neighbors should handle barking dogs problems themselves first and usually do, then call city. Bob Anderson, 5646 Sorrell Dr., asked about the total ordinance adoption and purpose. Mayor Cotant told him the Local Land Use Planning Act was mandated at state level in 1975. John D. Larsen, 154 Mingo, said he would guess that only one-fourth of the dogs in Chubbuck are licensed, that the honest people that license their dogs are being penalized. G. Darrell Larkin, 237 Mingo, asked about the three classes of Production Dwellings and added that his mobile home is a Class and he could not afford to upgrade to a Class II Production Dwelling. Randy Anderson, 238 Mingo, stated he has a mobile home and would like to be able to upgrade when possible. "Skip" King, 204 Mingo Lane, said he has been harassed for six years because of the many vehicles at his household. He has six licensed drivers in his family and owns seven cars, he has six snow machines and five motorcycles. He parks them off-street in front of his mobile home as that is the only place he has to park them. He feels he needs to have these vehicles and equipment for his family to use, enjoy and they make repairs themselves and is teaching his children to do the mechanical repairs. Don Harmers, 4917 Easy concerned about Section 3-4: (c)"one (1) boat, one (1) travel trailer and one (1) detached camper may be stored in the side or rear yard" and also (h) "only one (1) motor vehicle per household parked in public street adjoining the premises." Mr. Hanners related that he owns more than one boat and that it is necessary for them to park an additional car in front of his property at times. Mervin Smith, 316 Mingo, stated he would like to see a copy of revised and proposed ordinance before adoption. Mayor said city would give notice of meeting when ordinance will be considered prior to adoption. Mayor Cotant told all present he appreciated their presence and comments. Mayor Cotant closed the public hearing at 10:30 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED: 79 GENERAL COMMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS OF CITY: 1) Phase-out period for four or more dogs. 2) Attorney Winmill said council could make provisions for a Production Dwelling in compliance with a pre-existing ordinance such as a Class III Production Dwelling and presently a non- conforming use, whereby owners could be allowed to replace dwelling with another Production III dwelling, either with or without a conditional use permit. These and ~ther considerations will be given when ordinance is drawn up for adoption.
