SCHEDULED ITEM NO. 2. ELIAS, HURTCN D. Long) UP -354-71 - Request for Use Permit for Hoarding Stable to at 25720 Altamont Road. Staff reviewed that the Planning Commission had recommended this application for approval and the conditions were presented. It was noted that 27 horses were to be allowed on the 4.727 acres. Council concurred that condition #5 be revised to read: " Public riding instruction shall not be given, but this shall not be deemed to prohibit the owners of boarded horses and members of their immediate family. Floor comments were heard from Mr. S. W. Whittelsey, 25259 La Loma as to the dis- advantage of not allowing riding instruction for residents having their own horses. He noted the sentiments expressed against horses frequently were a result of their actions since they often have neither been trained in the proper care of their horse nor instructed as to their responsibility towards private property. The applicant, Mr. Elias reviewed his plans to develop the property, noting that there were only presently 9 stalls, but eventually he hoped to apply for 18 stalls to allow one horse per stall. In addition he planned toblue rock drives and parking areas and cover the paddocks as income allowed. Council discussion noted that this Use Permit as well as the Melton Use Permit was restricted to the Assessors Parcel Number specified,in response to a query from Mr. Keith Pritchard as to whether the applicant could lease adjoining vacant land for pasturing additional horses. It was observed that the existing stalls abutted the adjoining vacant land, and thus encroached into the 30' setback. The City Attorney stated that existing non -conforming structures were allowed to remain until they were required to be reconstructed to more than 50% of their value. MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Davey moved, seconded by Helgesson, that the request for a Use Permit by Burton Elias (UP 354-71) for a boarding stable at 25720 Altamont Road be granted in accordance with the approved amended. 15 conditions dated August 16, 1971. The motion was carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmen Davey, Grabowski, Helgesson and Mayor Benson, Noes: Councilman Corbett (too many horses).
