Chairman: Brucchi: Russell: Brucchi: Chairman: Russell: Brucchi: Russell: Brucchi: Russell: Brucchi: Russell: Brucchi: Russell: Brucchi: Before you came in I was checking our records. We have eight people in the vicinity who are opposed to your receiving a permit to keep live stock. I have to make a living. I bought the property and Lot A and have owned it since August. The other acre :of land is what I have leased. I own the house, barn and l* acres of land. I understand people who are opposed are not even within smelling distance. That is not in accordance with the statements they offered. What about the people close to you? They come from the city and probably don't even know what animals are. That is not so. It is not just a case of new poeple opposing it. We have six opposing it in writ,Eing and two others who came before the Board. When you bought the land you bought it with this idea didn't you? Yes. It seems to me, knowing that you should obtain a permit, you should have investigated to find out whether or not a permit would be issued. I bought it as a farm. You are not farming. I.t still comes under farming. That does not mean we have to grant a permit. I always understood anything over an acre was a farm and I do not need a permit. I can keep two pigs in Lexington without a permit. Read the regulations of the Board of Health. My mother and father have kept twe pigs for years 1-4 1 1
