78-1649 DISCUSSION: PROPOSAL FOR ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRAGT
Discussion of the groposa! to contract out the animal control
functions of the county held at this time. Discussion open to the public.
Appearing:
1. Dr, Glade Leavitt, representing North Valley Veterinary
Medical Association. Ar.Leavitt stated that the Association is concerned
about certain things in the proposed contract. He asked that the matter
be delayed for a period of at least two weeks to give them a chance to
meet with the committee and give input on the matter. Butte County for
the last ten years has been in the top three counties in the state for
rabies. Butte County has been used as a model county on non-human
exposure. There are three lines of defense: (1) buffer between the
wild animal vector; (2) vaccination of dog population; (3) Butte County
Health Department and Animal Control Officers. There are regularly
scheduled rabies clinic and between that and the veterinary offices
92% of the dog population in the county are vaccinated. The Association
is concerned with the contract for the following reasons: (1) the Board
is usurping their authority; (2) the Association questions whether the
Health Officer in dealing with the private contractor can get the needed
results; (3) the Association questions whether the veterinarians can work
under the administrative wing of this group.
2. Jim Cook, BCEA. Mr. Cook stated that he would like to have
the matter continued and be involved in the process. The contract is
attrocious as far as the worming to protection of the county. It is an
open ended contract. At the eleventh hour he was given the amended wording
far the personnel that is still a gray areas The Board may be subsidizing
a non-profit organization with CETA personnelo There are fifteen areas
the Board should take a look at.
Supervisor Lemke stated that the CETA Council approved four
different agencies, non-profit organizations, for use of CETA personnelo
The Department of Labor has said that 30% of the positions are to go
to non-profit organizations.
Mr, Cook stated that the problem they are fading is with the
closing of the department there will be lay offs of employees. You cannot
use CETA to fill full time positionso

August 29, 1975
3o Dick Steinberg, undersheriff, stated that he is not ready
to address this matter at the present time. There are certain things
that have come up in the interim that should consxitute a wait and see.
4, Phil Mace, attorney for Superior California Humane Society.
Mr. Mace stated that the pages of the contract have been corrected, The
licenses are to be issued at rates established by the County. There is
an agreement to furnish rabies clinics. This has'.:changed from singular
to plural. It is an opened ended obligation to supply rabies clinics.
The language regarding interviewing and option for empbyment was rewritten
to be consistent with the Board declaration, The employees concerns are
-taken care of. He stated that there was added that if for some reason
the Clark Road location was not able to meet their needs, that they would
confer within 45 days to request an alternate site. The only likely
area for sewage disposal was in the vicinity of the old dump site.
This creates a problem with Counsel's legal description. They are hoping
to take in enough area far the leach line. This would be to take in
the entire upper rectangle which is between 20 and 30 acres. They would
want to drill as far away from the cliff for water as possible. The
starting date should be set for January 1, 1979.• With respect to the
unincorporated area of the county the Clark Road site may well be the
center point. The bulk of the unincorporated area is on the hill and one
of the biggest dog areas.
It was moved by Supervisor Richter, seconded by Supervisor Madigan
that the matter be continued for two weeks.
Mr. Mace stated that it may well be that two weeks will be
so far into the future for establishing the program that the Society is
obligated to look elsewhere, The negotiations to this point have brought
us into the contract with the county personnel. They have been exposed
to more scrutiny than any county program, He cannot say that the Society
will lose interest in the contract proposal. They are preparing to travel
to southern California with regard to other committments. Two weeks might
put the Society in the position of not being able to go with the contract,
Vote on the motion:
AYES: Supervisors Lemke, Madigan, Moseley, Richter and Chairman
Winston.
78-3.650 DISCUSSION: CASAMAJOR PROPERTY RE: REDONE OF MERIDIAN-MUNJAR AREA.
Chairman Winston stated that when the Meridan-Munjar area was
rezoned on May 16, 1978 the Casamajor property was referred back to the
Planning Commission. Mr. Casamajor has been advised by the Planning
staff it is going to be necessary to post $175 in fees and apply for
the rezone.
', Supervisor Richter stated that his motion was to the effect
that the Casamajor property was to be zoned. The Board was told that
they could not change the original Planning Commission recommendation.
The Planning Commission had not considered this property in the A-10
zoning.
Bettye Blair, interim planning director, stated that she had
discussed the matter at length with Mr. Casamajoro The property reverted
back to the interim A-5 zoning. Even the agricultural zone would not
accomplish what Mr. Casamajor is after.
', Supervisor Richter stated that Mro Casamajor could continue
to use the airport because it is a nonconforming use. He had wanted
the Planning Commission to consider a zoning compatible to the one
just completed. Page 227,

declaration. The zoning has followed to bring it into line. A negative
declaration has been recommended.
Bettye Blair, interim planning director, set out the background
of the rezone. This is an attemgt by staff to try and get specific land

78-1653 ADOPT ORDINANCE 1962: WAIVE. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE ADDING ARTICLE
IV CHAPTER 15 RELATIVE TO TOPLESS DANCING
Sheriff Gillick stated that the ordinance has received a great
deal of publicity. He felt that there was no reason for a topless club
in this county, The county has standards to meet, Since Mr. praiser
has had the Del Mar Club there have been no calls. If Mr, Fraiser had
came and talked to him he would have told him not to put in topless
dancing. During the construction of the Oroville Dam there was trouble
with topless dancing. Sheriff Gillick took the City of Oroville and
Sutter County ordinances to Counsel and asked him to draw up an ordinance.
His experience has been that with'~,any thing of this type there are
problems to law enforcement. There is a tendency for certain people
to come to these types of places.. Sutter County has a similar ordinanceo
Chico is a university town. The university is within a stone's throw

of the Del Mar. Club. He has T never seen a topless club yet that did not
start holding amateur contests. The Del Mar Club is making money and it
', will not be the only topless club in the area. He urged the Board to
pass the ordinance. -
Paul Fraiser, owner of Del Mar Club, stated that the Sheriff's
Office had inspected the bar and the motel. He asked that the Board
postpone their decision until next week. It was originally his idea to
have topless dancing one day per week. The response has been so heavy
that he has been forced to increase the days. Over the weekend he had
three bands scheduled and turned away over 250 people, The ordinance
leaves Butte County wide open to topless dancing. If the Board is going
to ban topless dancing it should be everywhere.
', It was moved by Supervisor Richter, seconded by Supervisor
Moseley that the second reading of the ordnance be waived and the
ordinance be adopted; with the prohibition in theatres and concert halls.
Aiscussion of motion held at this time, Supervisor Lemke
stated that Mr. Fraiser had just brought up an interesting point. If
the ordinance is going to prohibit topless dancing in bars and allow
somewhere else, this is not rights It should also be banned in concert
halls and theatres.
Sheriff Gillick stated that if the Board wanted to include
concert halls and theatres in the ordinance he did not object. There is
a different clientele and there is no alcohol served.
Supervisor Lemke stated that if theatres were included then
R and X rated films could not be shown. How far is the county going to
take this matter? There could be a problem with constitutional rights.
Motion withdrawn.
On motion of Supervisor Madigan, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and unanimously carried, the second reading of the ordinance adding Article
IV, Chapter 15 relative to topless dancing was waived.

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP, AP 41-20-50, NORTH SIDE OF SHIPPEE.ROAD, SOUTH
SIDE OF OROVILLE-CHICO HIGHWAY, EAST OF IiIGHWAY 99E, NELSON.
' The public hearing on the Rober J. Smith appeal of condition
~~l to a ..tentative parcel map, AP 41-20-50, north side of Shippee Road,
south side of Oroville-Chico Highway, east of Highway 99E, Nelsen was
held at this time.
Clay Castleberry, public works director, set out the background
of the appeal. There is some I80 acresialong Shippee Road east of Hwy. 99.
The map is for eight twenty acre parcels. The condition that is being
appealed is the condition to apply for and pursue zoning.
Bettye Blair, interim planning director, stated that this was
a mitigation measure. It is an attempt to establish density. It is apen
end grazing land. This is A-2 zoning. The Committee was of the opinion
that 20 acre parcels were not environmentally unsound. It was felt that
he should pursue zoning.
Supervisor Richter stated that one acre parcels could be considered.
He felt it would have been more appropriate for the committee to have
turned down the parcel split until such time as the property was zoned.
Mrs. Blair stated that the committee had made the condition
that he pursue zoning. This is the only way to approach unless the
Board directs differently.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Robert J. Smith.
Mr. Smith stated that this parcel fronts on Shippee Road. A11 of the
parcels divided would have over 400 to 500 feet of frontage. It is
not agricultural. It is considered grazing. It is not even feasible
for grazing. It is a rock hill. With open zoning he did not feel the
condition should be put on the parcel split. If someone wanted to buy
the parcel and split it they should be able to do so.
Hearing closed to the public and confirn d to the Board.
On motion of Supervisor Richter, seconded by Supervisor Madigan
and unanimously carried, the appeal was denied.
78-1657 POLICY:. NO DIVISIONS TO BE ALLOWED TN A-2 ZONE WITHOUT REQUIRING
ZONING CONSISTENT WITH GENERAL PLAN
It was moved by Supervisor Richter, seconded by Supervisor Madigan
that this Board as a matter of policy not allow divisions in the A-2 zone
without requiring zoning consistent with. tine-general plan,
Bettye Blair, interim planning director, stated that the
implications are pretty wide in as much as 1/3 of the county is in A-2
zoning, She championed the thought behind the motion. It might be the
pressure point to straighten out some of the points we are trying to
combat and not successfully in may caseso There are cases where there
will be a four-parcel split that comes in for a four-parcel split with

no euYi~tmental impact reporto This has a pyramiding effect and ends
up with one acre parcels...
Discussion of posible delays being created by this golicy
held at this time. Chairman Winston questioned Mrs. Blair regarding
Mr. Drakes rezone. Mrs. Blair stated that had the rezoning application
moved forward more expeditiously he would have had the rezone before
the map was approved.
Chairman Winston was concerned that the county will be adding
another layer on the people trying to_divide property,
Supervisor Lemke felt that this problem could be handled without
', additional steps for the developer, He asked that the Board hold off on
this matter until after they have gone through the land development

78-1658 PUBLIC HEARING: BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION - PROPOSED GENERAL
PLAN CHANGE FROM "TIMBER MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN" TO "INAUSTRIALt' PROPERTY
LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ROBINSON MILL ROAD AND LA PORTE ROAD,
CONTAINING_APPROX. ONE ACRE, EAST OF OROVILLE
The public hearing on~the Butte County Planning Con~ission
proposed general plan change fram "timber mountainous terain" to "industrial"
property located on the southwest corner of Robinson Mi11 Road and LaPorte
Road, containing approximately one acre, east of Oroville was held as
advertised.
Earl Nelson, environmental review director, set out the background
of the negative declaration. The operation would not constitute a significant
effect on the environment. If the project fiad come to the department before
the use was undertaken the project would have had to be analysed from
what could be adverse from the change. There is no doubt that an EIR
would have been required. The changes have occurred, The impacts are
relatively minor because it is a small operation, This could be precedent
setting as beginning of an industrial use in a previously undeveloped
agricultural .a€ea. Even denial of the project would not bring back the
property to the natural environment. A negative declaration was recommended.
Supervisor Richter asked if Mr. Nelson was saying that in
effect that this proms ct far whatever;-reasons was put in place without
any review and therefore since it is there you are saying there will be
no adverse effects. Whatever adverse impacts that might have been, if
any, have been created and are there. He asked if someone else were
capable of putting in a much larger operation that was of an industrial
type of land use would he take the same position.
Mr. Nelson stated that the evaluation he applied would be the
same as for any project. He locks at the existing application and how
it would affect the environment. If the problems created could be xestored
by abatement he might suggest this possiblity. There are situations
involving grading and tree removal where if the project comes in there
is no contral. This is a major loop hole in the environmental process.
Bettye Blair, interim planning director, stated that the Board
had received staff findings dated Ma 15, 1978. The Board should consider
Page 233.
August 29, 1978
~,_
--~_,
August 29, 1978
the location of the site to available services. They should also consider
the environmental impacts the project will have~on the surrounding area
in the future. The amendment was requested to accommodate established
industrial use. This is an isolated instance. If in fact, as pointed
out in the environmental determination, the development happens and then
there is a backing into and amending policy and goals to accomodate
instances do you have a general plan. The general plan is suppose to
be a guide, The surrounding area must be looked at, There is no provision
in timber mountain for industrial siteso If the general plan is that
far in error the Board should take a look at all potential locations
instead of backing into the situation. The county has to depend on the
general plan. It needs a great deal of review in some areas.
Supervisor Richter asked if the Board approves this does
', Mrs. Blair feel as if the Board is ignoring the general plan?
Mrs. Blair stated that is how she felt. She is not familiar
with the abatement process. She is not sure how to accomplish this.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing:
1. Jim Arnold, owner of Feather River Manufacturing. Mr.
Arnlod asked if there would be a need for a change in the general plan
if the Board approves a coal fired plant.
Supervisor Richter stated that there is a provision that
provides that in cases of public utility there is different consideration.
Mr. Arnold stated that a year ago he employeed 25 people and
today he employs two people. Twenty three are unemployed. The property
is impossible to farm. The building was put in originally as an agricultural
building. The business is in existence. It has been in productiono
He did not know how you could support twenty five familes on five acres
in Bangor any other way. He asked that the Board approve the general plan
change.
2. Nancy Latin. Ms. Latin stated that she was in favor of the
general plan change.
3. Michael Malick. Mro Malick stated that it will be a real
blow to the .,people that work at the company to lose employment and will
defeat the purpose that he came to Bangor if the change is not approved.
', Agricultural land cannot be supported in that area unless you have in
the neighborhood of thousands of acres to do so. There is apparently
no provision to allow a highest and best use for the land. There is
less noise and looks better than the average farm. There is a chance
for more people to be able to work with the plant, He felt that decentral-
ization of manufacturing is essential to the county.
~. Bertha Ermitinger. Ms. Ermitinger stated that she was
in favor of the general plan change. She felt that Mr. Arnold could
put in a lot worse thing than the plant.
5. William Overstreet. Mr. Overstreet stated that he was
in favor of the general plan change.
6. Margaret Fowler. Ms. Fowler stated that she saw no reason
the change should be denied.
7. Morris Gonzales. Mr. Gonzales stated that he has never
heard any noise and there is no smoke. He was in favor of the general
plan change.

plan change.
9. Kathy Foster. Ms. Foster spoke against the general plan
change. She would like to see the Board make a decision on this matter.
Z0. Jim Pennix. Mr. Pennix stated that he was against the
general plan change. If there were some way for Mr, Arnold to have
his shop without the zone change it would be all right with him.
He set out the characteristics of industrial as shown in the general
plan.
11. Charles Z. Brooks. Mr. Brooks was against the general
plan change. This is good agricultural land.
12. James Hillis. Mr. Hillis marked on the calendar days
that he was annoyed by noise: Mr. Hillis stated that he went down to the
Plannmaig Commission before the building was erected and objected to it.
Mr. Arnold told him what he wanted to do, Mr. Hillis examined the
concrete form and it is sufficient for an iron work equipment shop.
Mr. Hillis read a letter from Donna Miller at this time. Mr. Hillis
stated that he was a superintendent for Kaiser Steel. At times the
plant was quiet and at other times it was necessary to wear ear plugs.
He stated that Mr. Arnold had told him at the time the building was
erected that he planned to put in a machine shop. He has written to
the Attorney General and the District Attorney regarding this matter.
Supervisor Moseley stated that when she went to the location
there was very little noise. She saw a great deal of big machines.
There was a barn full of antiques, buggies and wagons. She also saw
horses and cattle.
Mr. Hillis stated that Mr. Arnold had told him that he was
moving his shop from Gridley to Bangor.
13. Mrs. Arnold. Mrs. Arnold spoke in rebuttal to Mr. Hillis'
comments. The shop was originally intended as a shop for working on
buggies and farm equipment. It was that type of machine shop, if at a11.
He had no intention of starting a business at that time. He has looked
forward to retirement. There is noise from farm equipment that Mr.
Hillis hears. This noise in going to continue. They have gone to a
great deal of time and effort to make the business legal. They are not
trying to do anything311ega1. They are not wanting to enlarge their
business.
Supervisor Richter questioned Mr. Hillis regarding his statements
regarding what Mr. Arnold had told him.
Mr. Hillis stated that he talked with Mr. Arnold on a sunny
and warm day. He told him that he was going to develop this place,
He had a shop in Gridley. He told Mxo Hillis that he was building a
machine shop here and was going to provide work for the people who
do not have it. He was going to move his machine shop to Bangor.
This conversation took place in 1976.
Mr. Arnold stated that he started the building in October, 1975.
He went to the Planning Commission and explained that the building was
for agriculture and working on heavy equipment, He was advised that for
an agricultural building and barn there was no permit necessary. He
went to PG&E and they put in the electrical, He did not recall having
the conversation with Mr. Hillis. He had hay and heavy equipment in
the building after it was constructed. He was working on his own

farm equipment. He began to employcY people in March, 1976,
Mr. Pennix stated that if the Board does not stop the. use now
they will not be able to.
Mr. Brooks felt that the plant was very harmfulo
Mr. Pennix stated that he bought his property in 1975 and
thought that the building was a barn. In February, 1976 the building
was a hay stack. In October, 1976 there was a hay stack in back. In
November it was a machine shop.
Mr. Overstreet stated that none of the people in the
neighborhood objected to the plant.
'Mrs, Foster stated that she was working in Oroville and
had to pass the building every day. She did not know when the change
came about.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board.
It was moved by Supervisor Moseley,. seconded by Supervisor Lemke
on the basis of this initial evaluation, finding the proposed project
could not have a signficant effect on the environment, a negative
declaration be recommended.
Supervisor Richter stated that he would like to make a
decision on the change. To argue the use is there is flawed. He felt that
he did not have all the facts on the environmental problems.
Mr. Nelson stated that the physical changes occurred when
the building was built, Denial of the use of the building would not
restore the enviroxssnent to its previous place. The level of operations
is not thought to be significant.
Vote on motions
AYES:' Supervisors Lemke, Madigan, Moseley, Richter and Chairman
Winston
Motion carrieso
Chairman Winston stated-that the property is a beautiful piece
of real estate. It is an improvements The bad part would be if the
county breaks down the zoning in Bangor under these conditions then
there should be a motion to ab07~ish every bit of zoning in Butte Countyo
Supervisor Lemke stated that he was under the impression that
the Arnolds were told that a possible solution was to seek a general plan
change. The Board has given him permission to invite members of the
Nine Northern Counties to seek legislation changing the general plan
from mandated law status to the original thoughts. He felt the Arnolds
should not have been told to go through the motion of seeking a general
plan change if it was not going to be approved.
Supervisor Richter stated that he never voted to allow development
activity in violation of the general plena He made the recommendation
that Mr. Arnold seek a general plan change but he did not commit himself
to vote for that change. He wanted him to have his day in courto
The reason the amendment came before the Board is because the activity
was illegal. The general plan process was to determine if the Planning
Commission and the Board would take steps to make it legal. There are

many things to consider, He has come to the conclusion with difficulty
that he cannot support the general plan change as it would be a precedent

78-1659 PUBLIC HEARING: PAUL A, LUDO APPEAL CONDITION REQUIRING 60-FOOT
ACCESS ON CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE ON AP 71-22-16, PORTION OF LOT 2
AND LOT 37 SOUTHWEST 1/4 OF SECTION 33 T20N R6E ENTERPRISE AREA
The public hearing on the Paul Ao Lupo appeal of condition
requiring 60-foot access on certificate of compliance on AP 71-22-16,
portion of Lot 2 and Lot 37, southwest 1/4 of Section 33, T20N, R6E,
Enterprise area was held as continued. Clay Castleberry, public works
director, set out the background of the appeal. The access to the
property is on Ponderosa-Way which is not a county road. There are
no rights-of-way on the road. If the condition is upheld the people
should get together and get rights-of-way to the road to provide two-way
traversable access, It is almost impossible for one person to do.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Paul Lupo. Mr.
Lupo stated that it is several miles to the Forbestown Road. He can
do nothing with the property. The road goes through Forest Service
property. He did not know how he could get access on that propertye
He bought the property in 1965 and 1966. It is .five acres. He had
been advised by a real estate person that he had to get a certificate
of compliance before the property could be listed for sale.
Mr. Castleberry stated that often the Forest Service will
offer the right-of-way to the county if they would maintain the road.
He did not feel that they would offer this to an individual. There have
been many parcels created in this area.
Mr. Lupo stated that a number of years ago there was going to
be a road replacing the road in Enterprise to the dam. It is only a mile
from the Enterprise Bridge.
Mr. Castleberry stated that there was nothing in the plans for
the county to participate in a road in that area. There is no year around
access.
Chairman Winston stated that all the property owners have to
get together and get with the Forest Service to work out the rights-of-way,
It is difficult but it can be done.
Hearing closed to the public and confire d to the Board.
Mr. Castleberry stated that he would help Mr, Lupo with the
names of the owners in the area and help him with the pro3ect as much as
he can.
On motion of Supervisor Richter, seconded by Supervisor Madigan
and unanimously carried, the appeal was denilied.

related to filling of vacant positions and promotions in grade for
positions in the salary ordinance with an either/or classification.
Any time that those have come up they have been under administrative
review and have not be filled. This is causing considerable problems
in the departments. As long as these positions are under administrative
review the county runs into the problems of employees who are being worked
out of their classification. This could create problems with BCEA in the
futuree

78-1669 DISCUSSION: CONTRACT WITH REGION C CRIMINAL JUSTICE PLANNING BOARD
FOR COUNTY JUSTICE SYSTEM SUBVENTION PROGRAM UNDER AB 90
C1if Nickelson, administrative officer, stated that there are
a couple of problems. This is the contract with Region C for development
of an application under AS 90 to start getting reimbursements back to
July 1, 1978. After several members of the advisory group came to
the conclusion the contxact should be scaled down considerably from
the $1T~000 to $2,000 a meetiag with Mr. Cassagrade was held. The first
contract or phase of the contract would be to get in the original
application that has to be in by September 30, 1978 with the intent
to be able to take advantage of AB 3121 costs from previous year. This
gives the county a start.
Howard Casagrande stated that he felt that the requirements
concerning the contract can be worked out with Counsel and the Administrative
Office. The minimum contract would be about $12,p00 with, $2,000 for the
first or second month, Those are the features that have to be in the
', contract. The money in Region C budget is from federal money for federal
programs. The other problem is that there is a need to have the other
', members of the advisory group named.
Mr. Nickelson stated that he is not prepared at this time to
recommend that the county enter into a contract for anywhere from $12,000
to $17,000. There is a serious question concerning employee employer
relationship. The county may not be able to use Mr. Casagrande as was
originally conceived. The county may end up in a position of having
to hire someone just to operate the AB 90 program. This could happen
if the county cannot convince the state that the county can use AB 90
monies to transition CETA workers into regular programs.
Mr. Casagrande stated that he has been working in good faith
without a contract. He has just had word that the county cannot transition
CETA employees.
Mr. Nickelson and Mr. Casagrande to meet and come back this
afternoon regarding the contract.

ALLOWING MOBILE HOMES PURSUANT TO SECTION 19-19 OF THE BUTTE COUNTY CODE
{",AUNT MINNIE" AMENDMENT), IN ALL ZONING DISTRICTS
Supervisor Lemke asked Counsel if in order to allow Aunt Minnies
in conventional home areas all of those districts would have to have
mobiles in the area?
Jim Griffith, deputy county counsel, stated that Del Siemsen
had been working on the matter.
Page 243.
August 29, 1978
August 29, •1978
Bettye Blair, interim planning director, stated that that had
been Counsel's-opinion at that time. There are other points that need
to be resolved,
Supervisor Richter stated that he had talked to Counsel regarding
the statments about the Aunt Minnie, He indicated that the presentation
was not correct. He felt there would be no problem of differentiating
the Aunt Minnie from other mobile homes on a limited basis.
Del Siemsen, deputy county counsel, stated that it would be a
special use within those zones with special requirements that are required
at the present time.
Mss. Blair asked whether the special permit would be under
the use permit process or special allowed use. She is concerned with
the abatement proceedings, The proceedings are now held under the
Board of Supervisors who holds a hearing. She wanted to know who
would hold the hearings if it were under a use permit provision.
Mr. Siemsen advised that the Board of Zoning Adjustment
would then hold the hearings.
Supervisor Richter stated that he had received a call saying
that many of the Avnt Minnies are illegal and that they are being rented
and used as multi-family units. zt was his understanding that these
were enforced very carefully. He wondered if there were Aunt Minnies
that were not being abated.
Lynn Vanhart, environmental health director, stated that there
are 67 active Aunt Minnies. Twenty of those have been issued within the
last year. Twelve have been renewed at least once. Thirty have been
renewed more than twice. Five have been canceled aut. The program has
been taken advantage of in a few instances. The Department has to take
the persons word. They attempt to make sure the same people are there.
They try to get signatures. The fact that this is a temporary situation
is explained to the applicants. This is basically an exemption on the
septic tank requirements.
Mrs. Blair stated that the petitions for variances are under
the Health Department. If a use permit is needed it would fall under
the Board of Zoning Adjustment and the Planning Department. The abatement
procedure would then be a zoning violation proceeding.
It was felt that this should continue under the Health Department>
