Motion carried. <br /> Quandt questioned if there has been any thought to be hooked up to a sewage system and Mr. <br /> Nabity stated that it could be possible to hook up at Highway 281 and 189 but it would have to <br /> be in one of the communities that would have a lagoon treatment system. <br /> Purdy made a motion and Lanfear seconded to take no action and to leave the regulations as <br /> they are. This would be consistent with the Regional Planning Commission's recommendation. <br /> Arnold noted that a feed lot would have more waste than a truck wash out.
