VIII COMPLIANCE REVIEW- CLINT MOTTE- 1592 E.
500 S. - PROPERTY ISSUE WITH
NEIGHBORS
Due to a complaint by Mr. and Mrs. Sherald Law,
regarding land use and nuisance issues at Mr.
Clint Motte’s Property at 1592 E.
500 S., where he raises cattle, the items were reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning
Commission. This same nuisance issue had been previously reviewed in
2006. The record (evidenced by the June 12, 2006 minutes)
and information indicates that 2
animals
are permitted on the parcel Mr. Motte’s home is on, parcel # 01-2622. The
signed and
notarized
letters and legal opinion regarding the substantiation of the land use through
the letters
indicate
that a ongoing land use for animals exists as a pre-existing, legal
non-complying land use
on the 2
properties Mr. Motte purchased in 2007, parcel #01-2624-0003 and
#01-2624-0002.
Since the land use is
established, conditions upon which the land use may occur should be
implemented.
Although Mr. Motte lives in the R1-8 zoning district, the animal reference in
Section
10.14.2.1 of
the Code relating to the Residential Estates (re) zoning district used for a
reference
only indicates that “Keeping of animals and
fowl, as an accessory use to a single family dwelling,
limited
to the following: (1) Two large animals per lot and one additional
animal for each 10,000
square
feet over 1 acre. Large animals may
include horses, cattle, goats, sheep or other animals
determined
by the Planning and Zoning Commission to be compatible with this zone.”
Clint Motte stated that he has up
to 12 head of cattle on his property at one time and that he feeds
and
waters the animals directly behind his home. He stated that he usually has
seven (7) of the
animals in the pasture and five (5) in the corral. The Laws
are claiming that because Mr. Motte
waters the cows so close to their fence line, the smell is
unbearable and the flies are a nuisance to a
point that they cannot have outdoor barbecues or have people
over to their home. Sherald Law
stated that he would like the City to follow the animal
ordinance and only allow two (2) head of
cattle on the property next to his home. Mr. Law stated that
during the months of July and August
are the worst months because of the heat and he would agree
to Mr. Motte keeping the two (2)
animals as long as Mr. Motte maintained the property, keeping
the area as clean as possible to
cut down on the odor and flies. Mr. Motte stated that he
purchased additional property in order to
have more animals and that there have always been animals on
the property. He stated that his
property is grandfathered in to have animals and he does not
plan on moving the animals. He
stated that he did not plan to move the water south in the
pasture because it was too difficult to
water the animals and that he has a right to have the cattle
wherever he wants on his property. He
stated that he feels Mr. Law is being vindictive and unfair
to him and that its not really the animals
that Mr. Law is complaining about. Mr. Motte brought letters
from surrounding neighbors that
were all in agreement that Mr. Motte’s cattle do not cause a
nuisance. He stated that Mr. Law’s
home only has one side of property next to his and that Ms.
Hackney has three sides connected to
the Motte’s property and she does not have a complaint. The
Commissioners want to find a
compromise between the Laws and the Motte’s. Nick Tatton
stated that there is not an animal
ordinance for the
zone that Mr. Motte resides because it is an R1-8 zone which is residential and
there are no animal that since 1954 there have always been animals
in the area and she hoped that
the neighbors could work together on a compromise. Mr. Motte
stated that he purchased extra
property in order to have more animals and does not want to
compromise with something he feels
is his right as a landowner. The Commissioners requested
that both parties look into compromising
as neighbors and work it out on their own. Mr. Motte
verbally agreed to clean the corral more
often in the summer months in order to control the smell and
flies in the summer heat. The
Commission would like the City Attorney to
provide additional information regarding nuisances,
sound agricultural practices and their authority to regulate
this matter. The Commission instructed
Mr. Motte and Mr. Laws to return on November 25, 2008 to the Planning
Commission meeting
with proposed conditions for the animals as a land use. MOTION. Commissioner R. Richens
moved to table the item until November 25, 2008 pending
information regarding information from
the City Attorney and the proposed conditions from Mr. Motte
and Mr. Laws. Motion seconded by
Commissioner
Shook and carried.
