Case ~F~: Request for a Conditional Use Permit to have a Horse on Less ~ than Three (3) Acres; Case of Carrie Olson Zoning ;Administrator Frolik stated that unaware of City Code requirements regarding the maintenance of horses, Carrie Olson brought a horse onto her property at 15811 Okapi Street N.W. She is approximately 1/2 acre shy of the amount needed to maintain a horse. The Horse Care Board and the Planning and Zoning Commission have both reviewed the case and are recommending approval of Ms. Olson's request. Ms. Frolik called attention to the mn-in shed being considered non-conforming also. However, because of the hardship in complying with setback requirements for barns or stables due to the unique shape of the parcel, ',both the Horse Care Board and the Planning and Zoning Commission are recommending that the mn-in shed be allowed to remain in its present location. The conditional use permit also requires the applicant to expend a reasonable effort to establish tree screening along the side property lines. Council proceeded to review the proposed findings of facts. Mayor Gilbertson noted that a lot of the neighbors have expressed positive comments about the horse.
