A letter was read from the City Manager stating that the City Zoning
]Tp Ordinance allows livestock,including the keeping of horses, onlyin the I™
'R-1S Zone.The Planning Commission has received requests for issuance
of permits at several locations outside the R-1S Zone.After considerable '
study the Planning Commission has requested that an ordinance be drafted
allowing the keeping of horses by special permit in all R-3 Zones of the City.
The ordinance submitted has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and
recommend City Council approval.

the first reading of the ordinance.Second by Bill Moe.
Michael Boyle asked if the Planning Commissionhas received requests from
people living in R-3 Zones?Dr.Lindell commented that requests for one
location in the R-3 Zone has been received for the keeping of approximately
three horses.Each application is considered on its own merits,and the
PlanningCommission has worked up rather stringent conditions to protect
the adjacent areas.Michael Boyle asked how strictly are the conditions of
the special permit enforced?Mr.Waggener commented they have had some '
violations,mostly based on non-conformance,and this is the reason for ex
panding the use.There are some horses in R-l and R-2,and the proper
personnel in the Public Works Department will be expected to contact the
people and inform them of the non-conformance regarding these residential
areas.
The motion was voted on and the first reading of the ordinance was adopted
unanimously.

actual location of the discharge d the fireworks to be shot out over the Lake.'
City Manager Waggener,commented this is the same location used last
year,and that the fireworks display was very well accepted by the
community.Only one technicality regarding the Certificate of Insurance,
it does not name the City in the Policy,and this he felt could be cleared
June 23,1970 1480
before the time of the display,and if the Council chose to grant the permit,
that they stipulate the insurance provision be cleared before the City
Manager is authorized to sign the permit.

CASCADE PARK DEVELOPMENT
A letter was read from Wm.R.Skeels,Park &Recreation Director,
stating that he met with Bob Lemke,Project Officer of the Inter-
Agency Commission for Outdoor Recreation,and found that our applica
tion is short $7,900 for the water main.Although we had planned on
using this water main as a part of our matching funds,we had not
included it in the total cost of the project.
The Project Officer also called attention to the fact that the majority
of the funds we are using are restricted to water oriented recreation
areas,and it would be wise for theCity to include a boat landing in the
camping area.This would be an additional $2,000 to the cost of
the project.
He requested Council approval that the total cost of Cascade Park
Development for this year be changed from $57,500 to $67,400,an
increase of $9,900.Of this,our matching share will be $16,850,
an increase of $2,475.The I.A.C.share will be $50,550.
Bill Skeels also informed the Council that our application was very
well received and evaluated by the Project Officer,and will be pre
sented to the I.A.C.by July 1,1970.He also indicated a possibility
that the Agency might cut us back to an 8"water main,since the cost
of the 10"main and the suggested boat dock,raises the matching share
of the agency over the $50,000 figure.
Motion by Michael Boyle that the change from $57,500 to $67,400
be allowed.Second by Dr.Lindell.Passed unanimously.
Meeting adjourned.
