If approval has been recommended, the City Council will be required to
hold a public hearing on this matter. Although there is a 10 day appeal
period, we suggest that the matter be set for the earliest possible City
Council meeting, because the purpose of any appeal is to have a hearing
before the City Council and this is already being accomplished. We
further suggest that you not accept any appeal, as it will serve no purpose.
If approval has been recommended other than as requested, the City Council
will be required to hold a public hearing on this matter. However, there
is a possibility that the Planning Commission's decision will be appealed;
therefore, we suggest that publication be held off until the 10 day
appeal period has expired.
If denial has been recommended, the City Council may summarily deny the
request. However, we suggest that the matter not be scheduled on the
City Council agenda until the 10 day appeal period has expired.

for destruction. f
3 . Temporary placement shall not exceed forty-
eight (48) hours in an all-concrete three-walled
open storage bin with removal to on-or off-

Size of storage bin depends on projected daily
volume of wastes . Note: The size and number
could be predicated on the number of allowed
horses .
'B. Feed mangers or boxes shall not be placed near water sources
I
since damp spilled feed attracts flies and makes a good
breeding site for flies. j
,S. 9635. 2 Rodent Control : Rodent control shall be diligently !
practiced and the entire premises shall be kept in
an orderly and sanitary manner to prevent possible rodent
i
infestation. The following guidelines and criteria shall be

the floor surface. Tack room floors shall maintain a minimum
clearance of six (6) inches above the ground. r
IS. 9635 . 3 Water Management: Special attention shall be given
to water sources because accumulation of manure ,
!bedding, and/or feed with water are ideal for fly production. For
effective reduction of these fly-production sources , the following
,guidelines are Provided:
A. A non-leak valve for all troughs , bowls , cups and other water i
sources shall be provided.
B . . Automatic valves , or sanitary drains if water-flow is con-
tinuous , are needed equipment for large troughs or cups .
C. In paddock and corrals , the owner should properly grade the
earth surface to suit the master drainage plan so rain water
i or water-trough overflow does not form ponds .
D. Frequently remove stall bedding from underneath water cups.
IS. 9635.4 Stable Sanitation: Good sanitary methods around
barns , stalls , paddocks , arenas , tack sheds , and
the owner' s quarters are as important as manure management. A
j
general cleanup program should accompany the manure management
system. Weed control near corrals , water troughs , and surrounding
areas. around paddocks helps the sure to penetrate and allows the
movement of air. This helps to dry the manure and reduce resting
places for certain flies. Controlling weed growth from open, ,
waste-water drains reduces potential habitats for filth flies ,
gnats , and mosquitoes.
S. 9635. 5 Dust Control : Continued dust control of the entire
premises shall be maintained and subject to
i
applicable provisions of Article 949 and Article 313.
