The conditions prohibited him from using the property as a storage hub for his landscaping business. John Kerr, whose property proper-ty is adjacent to Burnham's, asked the planning commission commis-sion to limit equipment operation, forbidding it on Sundays and holidays and before 7 a.m. and after 6 p.m. on all other days. Barbara Wells, speaking for farmers, argued the city couldn't lawfully keep someone from working on Sundays and holidays, it is a personal choice. The commission limited truck noise to what was allowed under the noise ordinance, which defined daytime as 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Farmer Kathy Proctor said she was concerned because during harvest time she often bales hay into the middle of the night. "Tree farming constitutes consti-tutes a farm. With all these conditions placed on it, it won't be long before other farms are affected," said Proctor.
