seconded motion, minutes approved.
NEW BUSINESS
1.) Discuss possible code change for goats.
2.) Discuss agricultural buildings for commercial gatherings.
1.) Alderman Kubacki suggested that the City amend the Ordinance in regards to goats. Goats
are now classifieds with pigs as nuisance animals, there is interest in amending the current
Ordinance to include goats with no conditional use grant. After initial discussion, it was
unanimously agreed that further research should be done and brought back to another
meeting to consider amending the Ordinance.
2.) Alderman Kubacki introduced discussion regarding Grandma's Cottage Bed and Breakfast,
they were renting a barn for wedding receptions and are not properly zoned for that. Last
summer Alderman Kubacki received complaints regarding parking during these events,
sanitary issues, alcohol and traffic. Conditional Use Grant would not be possible for this type of
event, it would require an ordinance change. Does the City want to allow for private owners to
rent barns/agricultural buildings to hold these type of events on small acreage properties?After
initial discussion, it was unanimously agreed that further research should be done and brought
back to another meeting to consider amending the Ordinance.
COMMUNICATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW
Alderman Wolfe requested discussion on long-term planning for infrastructure, "Road
Improvement Budget". Mayor Chiaverotti stated this would be part of budget goals discussion,
which is very soon.
