Acceptance of the conceptual house plan and elevation as proposed. <br /> Gaffron indicated he and/or the applicant would be able to answer any questions the Planning <br /> Commission may have. <br /> Schoenzeit stated he had the opposite take on the Dumas letter and that it would be important for the City <br /> to confirm the Dumas operation is in compliance with city and state code. Schoenzeit stated it is even <br /> more important that they follow the rules now that they will have neighbors and that any recommendation <br /> should include the City noticing this property owner that this is not a license to behave in a way that is <br /> contrary to code. <br /> McGrann stated they need to obey the code but that this development does not give the City a license to <br /> inspect their property. McGrann noted the Dumas farm has been in operation for decades and that there is <br /> no reason to believe they are not in compliance with state and city codes. <br /> Thiesse noted the City will likely receive complaints if they are over-spraying. <br /> McGrann stated the question is whether they have the right to spray with homes 30 or 50 feet away. <br /> Schoenzeit stated it needs to be checked out. <br /> Landgraver stated in his view it is overstepping the Planning Commission's charter to all of a sudden say <br /> that the City is going to come in to inspect a neighboring property. <br /> Schoenzeit stated it would help to ensure they are in compliance even though they have been there for a <br /> long time. <br /> Leskinen stated her impression was very different and that they were attempting to convey that this is <br /> what they have been doing and that they will be continuing to do it even after this property is developed. <br /> Leskinen stated the future property owners need to understand what a working farm property is. <br /> Page 12 of 30 <br />
