City Jim Stevens County Agent Thank You Richard Prohert Millard Counts Canlemen’s President permit Mike Chemiske said the site is east of w here they are now dairying Board members reviewed the site plan as presented by Warren Peterson attorney Chairman Robin Smith said it was a good spot for a dairy because there are already dairies in the area Carl Lyman board members said he was concerned with drainage if there was a large rainstorm County Commissioner Cox said NRCS will approve the design and the ground waters and irrigation waters will be protected by the NRSC permit Lyman said there must be a setback from the lagoon to the property line If more than 700 animals are located on the premises the setback increases to 100 feet The conditional use permit was unanimously approved v ith the 100 foot setbacks a condition Charles T Bell conditional use perenit Charles Bell’s son Thomas Bell was present to answer questions regarding the application He has researched several states and found this site to be the one of choice New maps and a plot plan of the rom the dairy' area was given to the board there will be 150 feet from the center of the corrals to the south and north The north side of the lagoon was moved to the corrals to work with the prevailing w inds Chairman Robin Smith asked for comments from those present Don Smith said he is probably the closest resident with the dairy being about 1500 feet from his home Dairies are fine and there are several uses for them including hay sales However he doesn’t think a dairy should be placed near homes Since it will stroy the value of his residence as well as many others Hal Terry said he lived across the street and asked about pest control and if sandy soil would not be better for dairies He is opposed to the dairy but is not opposed to dairies in the area Elden Shurtz lives about 14 mile from this operation and is concerned about their water supply His wells are 90 feet deep and is approximately 14 mile from the proposed lagoon John Nye dairyman said the lagoons are designed by NRCS The test the soil and clay is probably better suited for a lagoon than sandy soil since they are usually sealed with clay or bentonite The sediment from the lagoon is allowed to move approximately two inches in 100 years which does not amount to much A lagoon is not a threat to the water supply NRCS decides what they need then doubles it and adds 50 percent just to be sure Howard Clayton said he has made goons all over the estate The compaction is 90 percent and NRCS checks them closely to be sure infiltration is not happening After 20 years in the mining business Paul Hardy said he has not seen a tails pond yet that did not leak However his problem is the condition of the roads in the area of the proposed dairy 2000 West is hilly and curvy and 3000 West is ing apart The roads need to be w idened and built for heavier traffic usage he said Florence Smith works for mosquito posting bond Calls by the numbers
