property next to the request. He reported that they are not in favor of the

who stated that there are numerous applications and other processes that the
applicant must complete before being permitted to provide guided tours on
forestry land. Neil Richardson who hunts on Mr. Ingenthron's property stated

dwelling existing on the property. Mr. Martin stated that there is a road
easement through the Mark Twain Forest and dead ends at the applicant's
property. Discussion followed regarding the applicant providing sewer hookups.
Mr. Wolfe stated that the applicant has discussed wastewater disposal with the
 sewer district. Mr. Edwards suggested addressing this in the decision of record,
because he is concerned about dumping gray water on the ground. Mr. Martin
agreed with addressing the wastewater issue in the decision of record. He has
applied for a permit with the forest service for a permit to use their trails, and
that if he doesn't receive it he would still like to use his property for camping.
Discussion followed. Mr. Coxie suggested approving camping only at this point.
Mr. Pingleton also had a concern about the atv trails, and would like to approve
the camping now, then allow Mr. Martin to bring the atv trails back after he
receives permits from the forestry. The application will be changed to reflect the
cabins for overnight stays, RV hookups, shower facility, and that guided tours
shall be on his property only for now. Mr. Martin stated that the business would
be closed during deer season. Mrs. Klinefelter discussed advertising of the
property. Mr. Martin stated that he would advertise on line. Mr. Coxie asked
