CHIP WATTS HOME OCCUPATION: Referred to the board by the Laurel
City Council on April 6, 1982. Chip Watts would like a home
occupation for sprinkler installing and landscaping business.
Would put ads in paper with phone number and would take jobs
by that means. He stores some equipment in Billings. Would
in the future build garage for use in trailer court and would
partition off part for business.
Joe Bradley asked for read��i��n��
,�of home occupation regula-
tions. Regulations read. Joeaa`n'T ohn MacMartin discussed
partitioning off in garage. Mr. Watts said he only wanted
to have enough room for drafting table and repair of machinery.
He also said he would not have any stock of stuff for his
business. Bradley brought up that home occupation had been
turned down last week because it would give unfair advantage.
Bradley said that if only phone orders are taken and no mer-
chandising would take place it would be acceptable. Watts
said no merchandise would be displayed or stored.
Bradley moved to permit home occupation, Williams seconded.
Passed unanimously.
CITY - COUNTY CONSOLIDATION: MacMartin discussed countywide planning.
Positive aspects: 1) save money for city
2) unify planning - one staff, one board, one
place to go
Negative aspects: 1) taxpayer would ultimately pay more
2) city would have a separate zoning board
3) loss of control - Laurel would have only
one member probably

Discussion. MacMartin stated his feeling that he did
not think Laurel needed to get into this kind of arrangement
at this time.
LaPrath commented there would be no representative for
farmers or acreages.
Straw states that at this time the whole thing is a dead
issue as the commissioners do not want to raise taxes in the
county.
Bradley recommends that we leave the situation as is until
such time as we have to make a decision.
BUDGET FY 82 -83: Budget will be 2 mils for city and county.
$3,000 out of county Coal Tax.
VILLAGE SUBDIVISION: MacMartin presented a review of details
to date. Developer has been proceeding slowly.
LaPrath says there is a trailer park in Laurel now with
no one on it (Mogan). Why do we need another?
MacMartin says that Mogan can not sell lots as laid out.
Also finances hinder him.
Fox has people committed to lots.
Completed annexation of Highway 10 will be May 28th.
LaPrath questions whether the stipulations will be carried
out such as happened in Sunhaven.
Seaton says that if further applications for mobile home
parks come in for the east end that we consider putting them
in some other area.
Fox lots will sell for six to nine thousand a lot.
AIRPORT ZONING: Discussion on land use category for airports.
Agriculture use only around airport critical zone.
MacMartin was instructed to draw up critical zones on a
map.
Further discussion of airport zoning.
Meeting adjourned at 8:31 p.m.
