When the wind blows the smell goes into the neighbors yards and the Smoske's didn't seem to woryy about it, these problems have been going on too long. The animal control officer said the permit should have been revoked before this and at a recent meeting he stated again that the permit should be taken from the Smoske's Dr. Cosgrove said. Attorney Reynolds again stated that it is an excellent location for horses and that the boarders have had charge in the past but now Mrs. Smoske would be the overseer of the operation. Dr. Cosgrove stated again the permit should have been revoked before this time. He said the abuttors have been persecuted for seven years. Mrs. Smoske said she's the one that has been persecuted. Dr. Cosgrove disagreed. Dr. Cosgrove said as far as he is concerned that the permit will stay revoked until he can be shown why it shouldn't be. He told Mrs. Smoske that he has heard all she has to say - has heard it many times that the Board has had hearings on this permit through the past few years. He siad he is only one member of the Board but he votes to keep the permit revoked - not re- instated. Mr. Lambie said he's been all through this before. The fences were raised but the horses still got out. The horses destroyed other people's property (land). No one had taken any action to improve conditions. Mr. Comerford spoke up and said he fixed any land that his horse had destroyed. Mrs. Smoske said: One person has complained for seven years and finally got the horses removed from her property. She said she had a bill from Miller Disposal that shoed she had the manure taken from the dumpsters. She said at one time there had been a pile of frozen manure on the land and Mrs. Freier went out of her way to find it. Dr. Cosgrove said again he would not give the Smoske's a permit. Mr. Lambie said the Freier's have to be considered and this is not a hardship case so he votes against re -instating the horse permit to the Smoske's. Dr. Erdos said that at a previous meeting the Board had voted to revoke the Smoske's animal permit. The Board agreed at that time the permit would not be re -instated until "all" abuttors had no objections and at this time there is still one abuttor that objects. The Board voted unanimously not to re -instate the Smoske's horse permit. Dr. Cosgrove stated that because of so many problems, so many times, that he would not discuss the Smoske's animal permit for at least a year. Attorney Reynolds and Mrs. Smoske thanked the Board and retired.
