The ordinance was properly <br />published in full May 8, 1985, Notice of Public <br />Hearing published May 15 and 22, 1985. Mayor <br />Meier open the PuY~lic Hearing. <br />Hioco gave a presE~ntation explaining in detail the <br />old ordinance, the present ordinance and the <br />proposed ordinance. The proposed ordinance <br />defines "weeds" and "cutting required" very <br />specifically. T]he control of weeds in an area <br />that is zoned agricultural would be accomplished <br />by spraying; it we>uld not require cutting. <br />Mayor Meier asked for public comments in favor of <br />or in opposition t:o Ordinance #857. <br />Dave Stahl, 407 McCaslin, Louisville, asked <br />Council for clarification with regard to <br />agricultural zoning that is provided for grazing <br />leases. Stahl asked how the Homart property fit <br />into the picture in terms of land that is zoned <br />commercial and re:~idential at this point, but yet <br />have agricultural uses and leases in place. Would <br />this be treated t:he same as agriculturally zoned <br />land? <br />Rautenstraus determined that this had not been <br />considered and the ordinance probably should be <br />amended to state ghat "land specifically used for <br />agricultural purposes or for crop purposes." <br />Mayor Meier closed the Public Hearing and called <br />for Counci 1 comments. Luce offered an amendment <br />to Ordinance 857, Section 8.08.020, "Any property <br />within the City which is zoned agricultural 'or <br />land which is actively used for grazing or <br />agricultural purposes' shall be exempt from the <br />requirements of this Section...."
