operation would not be a hazardous or un4esii-ablei operation. Mr.
Coleman commented on all phases "cif the- process - and in conclusio'n
stated that under ordinary 6ir6um§tafi6es he would recommend that an
extruder operation , such as seen at Dow Chemicai be iocated in a light
industrial zoning district.
Also reviewed by the City Manager was a report by City Attorney
Ed Robert entitled "Use of Hatchery Buildings for Plastic Extruders -
.Ste'p*s to Accomplish such Use," which outlined'the steps necessary
to rezone the property and his 6o.mment - thai, - ,. zoning of this type o;f
property creates problems of legality.

grant. a Ube Permit in this case until such " time As the 'ordinahce
