RE: CORDON MEREDITH ASKED FOR PERMISSION TO PUT A DAY CARE CENTER ON SECOND WEST
Gordon Meredith asked for permission to put a Day Care Center just south of the
bowling alley on second west. It is presently zoned commercial. Mr. Meredith wishes to
have a double-wide trailer for the purpose. Acting Mayor Jensen stated that he didn't
think it would pass the fire code as that is in the fire district. He was advised to
check with. the building inspector to find out the restrictions.
RE: CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ASKS FOR CLEAN UP
Art Porter Jr., spokesman for the Chamber of Commerce, asked the council to enforce our
ordinances which make the people clean up theri lots, yards, and places of business.
The city received a letter asking them to use their persuasive powers to force clean-up
throughout the city. The abandoned buildings should be fixed up or removed. Business'
should not be allowed to put their merchandise on the sidewalks. The Chamber of Commerce
feels the city has become very careless since the flood. They asked that the deadline for
trailers should be enforced. The council agreed. Barton Jensen suggested setting our
clean-up week right away to get everyone started.
RE: MR & MRS GALE REESER ASK FOR VARIANCE
Mr & Mrs Gale Reeser want to build a garage on their home. They are asking for a
variance so they can come within 22 feet of their property line instead of 25 feet.

taken a petition to all the people with 300' and there is no opposition.
RE: TETON VILLA ASKS TO PUT CONVENIENCE STORE IN COMPLEX
The manager of the Teton Villa, owned by Morrison Knutson asked for permission to put
in a convenience store in their complex. It is so far from town that the students have
a hard time getting purchases back to their apartments. It is zoned R-3. The council
stated that he would have to go first to the planning board. They expressed the opinion
that it was not a good idea to spot zone commercial when we already have so much pro-
perty zoned commercial.

MR THOMPSON WANTS BUSINESS AND APARTMENT OWNERS TO PURCHASE GARBAGE BINS
Mr. Thompson also reported that we needed an ordinance to force business and apartment
house owners to purchase garbage bins. Some business' have 10 or more cans which
have to be loaded by hand. The garbage rates need to be amended. There are a lot of
complaints on the incinerator at the Food Center.
RE: DOYLE WALKER HAS ASKED TO OPEN GARNER PIT

would save wear and tear on the trucks. In return they want us to hawl several loads
