following City Officials present:
Mayor Keith C. Turnbow
Councilman Russell N. Swensen
Councilman Gerald B. Cheney
Councilman Brent Hirschi

Prayer was offered by Councilman Swensen. Minutes of the meeting of M-ay 21,
1975, were approved as typed.
Robert Kehrer and Paul Curtis presented informa~ion concerning the keeping of
livestock ani~als (a sow and eight piglets) by one of their neighbor'S, Jay Reynolds,
on his lot at 3175 Rawson St., stating that this situation is objectionable because of
the odor problem and the fact that the pigs sometimes get into other yards due to the
inadequate fencing. It was determined that, even though this area is in the animal
overlay zone, the total space of 11, 200 sq. ft. (80x140) does not meet the qualifying
requirements; also the remaining space left after allowing for the required 25-foot
backyard would be 3600 sq. ft. (45x80) which is somewhat short of the 5000 sq. ft.
which the ordinance specifies must be available for each animal. Attorney Anderson
was asked to write to Mr. Reynolds advising him that he is in violation of the City
Ordinance and must remove the pigs in.a reasonable time. Deputy Rustici assisted
in this matter of business by supplying a degal description of the property involved
and explaining action taken when Mr. Kehrer registered a complaint on the situation
several months ago.
Tentative plans for a town-house style group housiI1~ project were displayed by Dick
Berger as the proposed developer of a portion of a large lot in the Maiben Jones
Addition. The Council indicated approval of the plans as presented. Since a
zoning change is required before this project can be allowed and the Planning and
Zoning Commission has already recommended that such a zone change be made,
Councilman Cheney moved that the City Attorney be authorized to contact the
Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission to set a time to advertise for
a public hearing for a zone change from GC-l to R-3 on the west 240 feet of
Lot 6 Block 2 Maiben Jones Addition. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Swensen; voting was all in favor; motion carried. After the Council considered
Mr. Berger's explanation that a zoning of R-3A would be more suitable for
purpose of the proposal, Councilman Swensen moved that the motion made by
Councilman Cheney be re.scinded and be stricken from the record. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Cheney; voti.ng was .all in favor; motion carried.

Attorney Anderson reported that Annexation Ordinances and Agreements have
been prepared for both Olsen Park Addition Division No. 2 and the Barbara
Jean Estates, and that a public hearing is needed on the zoning for these additions.
It was felt that this could be done at the same time as the hearing on the zone
change mentioned above. The Annexation Agreements for these two propos~d
additions were reviewed.
