Following a report from Scott Tousaw of the Hurbn County Planning Department, applicant M. Sillib told council his purpose for the zoning amendment was to allow for the construction of a home on the property. Neighbour Mike Snobelen of Mike Snobelen Farms objected to the application on the basis of non- compatible uses. He had concerns with respect to locating a home so close to existing farm-related operations. No decision was made pending further investigation into five recommended items from the planner's report. Council held a court of revision for the Moore Drain at which time it was learned that no written or verbal appeals had been received. A bylaw was passed permitting the construction of the drain and Hornblowers Horizontal Earthboring Ltd. was awarded the contract at a cost of $25,950. they arrived Sunday morning.
