PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS:
1. Robert D. Vesser and Carolyn H. Vesser has requested a variance to allow the
construction and operation of a photo studio on their property at lg7 Parrish
Drive. Mr. Vesser was present and council reviewed his plans. Councilman
Menard told Mr. Vesser in reviewing the zoning ordinance the required setback
would be an average of the setback on the street and that the original variance
request did not stipulate the variance in setback he is requesting. Mr. Vesser
proposes a 20 foot setback. It was the decision of the mayor and council to
hold another public hearing on this matter with Mr. Vesser not being required to
pay for the variance request.
~. ~onn ~ ValentY~ Mgr., Valenty and Sons, Inc., requests a variance to allow him
to develop a sLx-unit trailer court on their property on Valenty Road. Laramie
Ankrum presented Valent~s variauce request. It was noted the 20 foot exit from
the trailer park to Valenty Road was too narrow and some changes would possibly
need to be made before plau was approved. Councilman Kinghorn moved the variance
be granted. Romriell seconded with an unanimous vote in favor of motion.
Land Investments, Inc., which the Parrishes represent are requesting additional
acreage be zoned Residential-2 Trsi/er to allow development of Residential-2
Trailer subdivision. This acreage lies south of Chubbuck Rd and east of railroad
tracks. Councilman Taylor asked why they hadn't developed the area rezoned last
spring. They answered it was so sm~]] it wasn't financially wise - they wanted
more area approved. Mayor Cotant stated he would like to meet with the P & Z
dommission and discuss what the city plans to propose in the line of trailer
developemnt. Councilman Menard stated he felt restrictions Should be drawn
up on tradler residential development, perhaps concrete foundations and b~ilding
inspections and moving permits. Councilman Taylor stated he was against approving
any more area until development on the last area rezoned has been developed.
Councd_lman Menard moved the variance be tabled until the council has a chance
to meet with P & Z commission on general grailer developemnt. Kinghorn seconded.
Motion passed unanimously.
APPLICATION FOR RETAIL SAI,E OF BEER LICENSE - John W. Baker has made application for a
retail sale of beer license for the Triangle Service Station. Mayor and ~ouncil

the present Mobile Manor was corrected of construction faults.

for Farmer' s Home Administration loans and requested the city not annex this devel-
opment until a certain phase was completely developed or ~armer's Home Loans would
