SCHEDULED GUESTS:
Stacey and Lawanna Subbert expressed a desire to store port-a-potty’s on Lots 1, 3, & 5, Block 25, Original Town Mead. The property is in the Neighborhood Business District and the property to the south is Multiple-family Residential District. Neither district allows this type of storage. Either a Permitted or Special Permitted Use would need to be approved to add to a district or rezoning of the property.
Ron Raver spoke of concern with the condition of the property located north of his rental property at 317 S. Cedar St. He said there are numerous “critters” and snakes residing on the property. Foxes are a major concern. Ron asked the board who would be liable if one bit a child. He also stated he is against allowing the storage of port-a-pots in Mead. He said Mead has had to endure enough “stink” in recent years. The Subbert’s disagreed and said there would be no smell and would surround the property with a fence.
