Roy Johnson, County Rep. Gerald Shay, County Rep. Darrell Aaby, City Rep. Clarence Foos, County Rep. Russell Bray, County Rep. Don Gudgell, County Rep. Chuck Dickerson, City Rep. Members absent: Grace Edwards, County Rep. Velda Thomas, City Rep. Others present: Cal Cumin, Cumin Associates, Billings Dan Koch, 929 Ist Avenue Walt Foster, 1515 E. Main Glenda Seabrook, 2.510 Topeka Motion by Chuck Dickerson, seconded by Roy Johnson, to approve the minutes as presented. Motion carried. HOME OCCUPATIONS: Dan Koch of 929 1st Avenue has applied for a home occupation for his Locks, etc. business. Mr. Koch was located in a building in the downtown area, but due to the hard economic times wants to do his locksmithing out of his home. The shop downtown also had. custom gifts. Mr. Koch orally would like to amend his application to apply for locksmithing only, and drop the custom gifts. Motion by Chuck Dickerson, seconded by Don Gudgell, to recommend approval providing that Mr. Koch has no customers at his home and that he drop the custom gift line. Motion carried. Walt Foster of 1515 E. Main Street is requesting that he be allowed to start with the main footwork of his prospective business without having to pay for a business license. It will be quite a while before he actually starts this business, and . before he does he will apply for the license. He plans to grow food with a bio-conversion process in a greenhouse. r?r - f Mr. Foster also wants a letter from the Planning Board stating that we have given him the go ahead to start on this project, and that he does not need the license at this time. Motion by Joe Bradley, seconded by Russell Bray, that we send a letter encouraging Mr. Foster's project. Motion carried. Glenda Seabrook, of 2510 Topeka, has applied for a home occupation to be allowed to do taxes, bookkeeping and accounting for customer's. She is not licensed yet to do taxes, but has taken the test and should have her temporary license any day now. Chuck Dickerson inquired if she had contacted the village Sub. Homeowner's Association about this. The Village Subdivision covenant's do not allow home occupations. Glenda states that she has not talked to them, but will contact them. Chuck Dickerson requests that the Board put off any decision on this matter until village Subdivision Homeowner's Association has been contacted. Cal Cumin states that this is unnecessary because it is two seperate organizations. We will show the Association the courtousy of a letter stating Glenda has applied for a Home Occupation, but it is up to Glenda to notify them herself. At this time Glenda is questioned as to whether she will--have any customer's coming to her house. She.states that it would be a rare case when someone would come to her house. If the Board wants, she will have no one coming to her house. Motion by Joe Bradley, seconded by Don Gudgell, that we recommend approval subject to no traffic at her home. Motion carried, with Chuck Dickerson abstaining. RE 2'0.000 ZONE This is a ? acre residential zone. There have been some concerns voiced about a large barn type building that has been built on Ridge Drive. The Board discussed this at last month's meeting. We need to get some idea's on how to handle this type of a situation. Some of the idea's discussed were that the garage cannot exceed 50% of the size of the house, and that there be a Special Review required to give the neighbor's some input. The Board decided to discuss this at next month's meeting. There is a new Veterinary Clinic opening up in the old Laurel Shoe Shop building on E. Main Street. It will be owned and operated by Dr. Krayton Kerns. 0 Planning Board meeting of December 8, 1988 Motion by Chuck Dickerson, seconded by Don Gudgell, to approve the administrative services bill for December for $ 200, and the Cumin Associates bill for $ 3375. Motion carried. Motion by Clarence Foos, seconded by Don Gudgell, to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 P.M.

Smith, Chairman City- County Planning Board Dear Mr. Smith: Thank you for your letter of December 8, 1988. 1 enjoyed the opportunity to show your board just how my job generation project meets the current goals and objectives of the present administration. Your encouragement is delightful. A more appropriate approach would be to mobilize community resources that have been placed to do more than just to encourage me in my business plan development. ,. As you know Laurel is the second largest City in Yellowstone County. And as such has yet to receive a single CSA Community Development Block Fund Grant for any purpose much less one of such importance. By importance I mean, a proposed project that meets the goals and objectives of CDBG exactly. If your political group believes in the economic development of the area and the creation of jobs in the Laurel community should be promoted whenever possible. Then I would challenge you to act upon the best interests in seeing that this opportunity for Laurel is supported beyond the functioning function of a gate keeper. is not luck that I need now. Rather the skills that I need to `o be made aware of in order accomplish my objective. Creating a business that would employ myseif and forty others here in Laurel. I thank you for your very kind letter. Mos.f incerei 1■ ' a i t Foster .. Box 453 Laurel,MT . . CityofLaurel ,......„ LAUREL, MONTANA 59044 City Treasurer P.O.
