The property has a single family residence, two barnsg and a horseback riding rink. They desire to use the property as a riding academy and stable for horses and horseback riding. Mr. Dyer stated that no additional buildings will be necessary. Mr. Drobac already has horses on the propertyt but wishes to board additional horses for area people. Mr. Dyer stated that the County Plan Commission indicated the owner would have to fence off thirty feet on either side of the waterway on the property and sod it for protection. This grassy area would slow up any water runoff to the waterway. Mr. Feltz stated that the area is heavily grazed and that they have already had erosion problems. Mr. Dyer said that when the weather permits, the area will be sodded and then fenced so that horses will not be allowed on this area. In response to Mr. Kenton's question regarding the number of horses and the acreage to be allowed for grazing Mr. Duer stated there would be approximately thirty horses on five and one half acres plus other leased land. Mr. Dyer stated that all excretions from the barn area would be hauled away to other land. Mr. Dollman felt that not enough land was available for thirty horses especially after the grassed area was put in. Mr. Mahoney asked that with boarding thirty horses and operating a riding academyq had &iy provision been made for parking facilities. He stated that he had previously been to a horse show on the premises and that cars were all parked along the highway. He felt that parking was not adequate for spectator affairs and added that any commercial operation has to provide provisions for the traffic generated. 2 — February Meeting 1976 R y It was then requested that Mr. Dyer, along with Mr. Drobac, provide the following information for the next plan commission meeting: 1.
