NEW BUSINESS
Recommendation to City Council on Specific Use Permit No. 31. Lynn and Lamy Howard were
present representing "Bay Area Equestrian Center" requesting approval of Specific Use Permit No
31.
Richard Burdine asked if all of the Commissioners had received a copy of the letter from Jule
1
Watkins regarding the specific use. It was not a letter of opposition. However, they do not want
then property to be considered as part of the Howard's request. Also if we knew of anyone
interested in purchasing then property, please let them know.
The Howards addressed a number of additional questions from the Commission, such as whether
or not the business would be incorporated; where the run off from the washing stalls will go; the
type of fencing they propose to use; how the barn will be ventilated; will parking facilities be dirt
or paved; landscape requirements; signage requirements; will motor homes be allowed on the
property; will horse trailer storage be allowed on the property; and will there be an escape clause
with regard to pasture boarding in the event of a natural disaster or an act of God.
Mr. Burdine also stated the Howards had gotten the Animal Control Ordinance revised regarding
the number of horses allowed per acre on the property, which has already been approved by Council.
Commissioner Pat Lopez made the motion, seconded by Commissioner Robert Larsen to
recommend to the City Council approval of Specific Use Permit No. 31 for a permit in a General
Business District (GB) and a Single Family Dwelling District (R -1) (located primarily in R -1) to
allow an Equestrian Center (Horse Stables) and owner's home on the property described as lots 31-

Motion Passed 5 to 0.
There were some homeowners present that wanted to discuss Oakbrook Estates - Preliminary Plat.
They had left the meeting of 4 -4 -94 before the motion to table was withdrawn and the preliminary
plat acted upon. Therefore, they were not aware that Oakbrook Estates would not be an agenda item
this evening and were advised by the Commission that the developer still had to get final plat and
construction drawing approval. Staff will notify the Homeowner's Association when a final plat is
submitted for the Commission's approval.
Epiphany Lutheran Church, Rodney Pampell and Allan Oravetz were present representing
Epiphany Lutheran Church requesting a variance not requiring there to furnish public sidewalks
since 518 and Hatfield Road have open ditches and level ground is not available to work on.
Staff s recommendation was to approve this variance until curbs and gutters are installed on 518.
Vice Chairman Emil Beltz made the motion, seconded by Commissioner Robert Larsen to approve
the variance request of Epiphany Lutheran Church, not requiring them to provide public sidewalks.
Motion Passed 5 to 0.
