Discussion:
same parcels, part of annexation rezone, were zoned AG, rezone farmstead to R2, which is what is to east of location. larger portion is RR, not alot of AG within city limits. whether in or out, still falls within our zoning rules as they are within 2 mile zoning. housing didn't qualify as AG, so R2 made most sense. new owner for larger portion, RR made sense.

8. PUBLIC FORUM
Discussion:
paul fanning, 522 helen street, left leg bit by dog walking on sidewalk in neighborhood. was able to verify the dog was up to date on rabies shots, seem to have dogs running at large, often in parks running free, not concerned about his dogs to cause issues. concerned with others not taking care of their dogs. see other dogs owners not following rules to keep under control. concerned for what may happen. dog fight, owners or dog getting shot, didn't make report, wish there was something that could be done to ensure all in public are safe from dogs running at large. doesn't have suggestions or know best way to handle this. do we ask PD to be more active would feel silly to get calls for service about dogs. hope council can come up with something to bring public notice before something serious happens.
