File Nos. BSA 6043-75; Var. 7025-76; Var. 7026-76: Recommended approval
subject to conditions:
Town Planner Ken Pastrof explained that the subject property required four
separate pieces of legislation in order to bring it into conformance with the
Municipal Code: three which were before Council this evening, and a request
for a Conditional Use Permit which would be considered by the Pizreina
Commission at their next meeting. In response to Councilwoman H liestad as
to how this property could be brought into conformance under the Town's
zoning regulations, Mr. Pastrof cited 9-5.703 (k) of the Code, which allowed
the existence of a secondary dwelling without kitchen facilities unless the
prepew+,y were of sufficient size to provide the area for two lots, in which
Casa, the restrictions could be deleted at the discretion of h_ legislative
bodies.
11hen asked by the Mayor why Staff had not taken steps to bring this non-
confornring use into conformance, both Mr. Pastrof and Mr. Crowe responded
that the owner of the property had already taken steps to bring his property
into conformance, and while his petitions were pending before Council, it
would not be appropriate for the Town to initiate abatement proceedings.
City Attorney Frank Gillio addressed Council concerning the uses allowed under
the zoning ordinances with the granting of a Use Permit by Council. After
further discussion, Councilman Grabowski moved, seconded by Councilwoman
Hillestad to defer action on this matter until the next Council meeting when
the recommendations of the Planning Commission on the request for a Con-
ditional Use Permit could be considered by Ceuncil at the same time. Motion
carried unanimously by roll call vota.
4 b) !ANDS OF DICKINSON (formerly Altamont Knolls Stahles) - request for
Conditional Use Permit, File 8CU?8O11-76: Planning Commission
recommended approval subject to conditions as modified.
Councilman Proft noted that two requests for Cord+t.ional Use Permits were
before Ccuricil this evening, and his concern was that the Town be consistent
in the requirements for all such requests. Pertaining to the Lands of
Dickinson, he noted a discrepancy of the plot Plan map submitted, and also
express'd concern for adequate parking on theproperty. He noted additionally
the presence of a secondary dwelling and questioned its use.

In response to Council, Pir. Gillio said ilia Use Pe•nnit covcred activities
that were permitted, which did not include an application for the use of a
secondary dwelling.
Council discussed the aeagi=i, of the off-rtreet parking for subject pra,,m'cy:
and Councilman Grabowski felt that Condition $10 addressed itself adequately
to the situation in that it specifically stat�;d that there shall be no off-
s,reet, parking in connection with the activities of the property.
_a'<jnr._fr,_^ the Floor:
her, Con Young, representing the applicant, said that the owner of the
pro;,arty was aware of the conditions, and that the parking situe.ion mould `re
evicted by clearing a site by the barn further, and providing additional
pca4:i ng off the macadam driveway. He thought clearing the addiL ones space
wooed provide adequate parking for 15-16 cars where presently the property
provided room for only 8 or 9.
Miss D{ckinson, applicant, addressed Council regardiaq ti;e rorkinc spaces
which should be prcvidad for the owners of the horses buavded on the pr.^.p rivy,
4+ stat{na that 50-60% cf the boarders were children who rods their bikes Co
Vie property, and that off-street parking is )racicd,d by tho s*sepness of
Ue hill along Altamont near the property.
Councilman Grabowski moved, seconded by Couxilwonnn Hillestad to grant the
request for a Conditional Use Permit sub;iect cu the condi tions recnnanaadra
by the Planning Commission contained in the Staff Memo dated April 8, 197(,
and amended as outlined in the Planning Cur0ssirn ^iaTe dated April 2C, 1976.
Council continued the discussion pertaining to the parking spares, iayor
Chaney stating that he felt that in any Use Permit of this nature, the parking
space number should be clearly defined fm- 'he henei'it of the applicants; as
well as the Town.
Cotmcilman Proft moved to amend Councilman i"rabowsk{'s nr.,cion "above) vrii:n

4 c) FREMONT HILLS COUNTRY CLUB, request for Conditional Use Permit, File
H CUP8010-76: Planning Commission recommends approval subject to con-
ditions as modified:
Iii response to questions by Councilman Proft, Mr. Pastrof presented a view
c:r the property and stated that there would be no excessive removal of trees
in connection with the additional tennis courts requested, with minimal
grading, and that the number of parking spaces which would be lost to the
Club in the building of the courts would be ten to thirteen. N.^. Pasirof
a15a noted that no complaints, written or verbal, were on file at Town Hall
regarding on -street parking in the Club area. Mr. Pastrof also explained
that an outdoor public address system was presently permitted on the prope:•ty
because of the horse shows which were held at the Club several times during
the year, and no complaints of excessive noise had been received in this
regard.
Co��ncil discussion ensued regarding the use of the D -a. system. Councilworan
Hillestad noted that the use of this property was ;;—Freut
Use Permits granted by Council, and felt that each request s;:ould be judged
by the type of activity and use requested rather than imposing similar' con-
ditions with no regard for the differences. Council also discussed with
Staff the two single family dwellings on the property, the pathway recommend-
ations, and the proposed tennis courts.
Sneaking from the Floor:
Mr. Pete McSweeney, President, LAH Horsemen's Association: Commented on
pathway along property.
Mrs. Fran Stevenson, LAH Horsemen's Assn: Suggested the cath in this area
be widened, and because of the dangers, this was an imnediate problem.
Commissioner Perkins, representing the Planning Commission no4ed that the
proposal from the Pathway Committee did not Wicarte wheiher tt:e 'provemeted
nts
they suggested would be on private praperty, Town a
-owned property,
easement; therefore he thought it unfair for the Commission anJ Council to
spend hours on this recommendation without adequate information before them.
Councilman Grabows:i thought the pathway requirerf!ot rent-ireci a yrr..rt deal
more study, and r::oved that the City Attorney be instructed to draft an opern-
ended condition for the pathway on the lands of Fremont Hills Country Club
until such time that the Pathway Committee and Staff could study the matter
-iu:•ther and come back before Council with recommendations on or bafore the
i -.Me for the next review date. Mayor Cheney seconded the motion which
carried unanimously by roll call vote. This motion will be considered as
a substitute to Condition X11 as recommended by the Planning Commission.
