The minutes of the October 20, 1969, Board of Adjustment Meeting
were approved as mailed.
Chairman Robinson stated that unless the petitions were contro-
versial he saw no need for all five members to attend all the
meetings. He suggested that the Planning Administrator contact
only as many members as necessary to obtain a quorum.
Mr. Harold Lieberenz asked the Board to advise him of any
problems they have encountered in connection with the present
zoning ordinance and decisions they have made. He wishes to
have this information within about a week.
J. F. Palmer stated that he thought the 2 acres required to build
a house in 0-1, Open Land District, was unrealistic and has worked
a hardship on a number of people.
Ed Clement said he felt the acreage requirements for nursery
schools was excessive. In the areas where nursery schools are
needed the most they cannot always be put, due to the lack of
40required acreage. Roy Clinton said he felt they should have
to be approved by the County Sanitarian, also.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 A.M.
