! <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br /> REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br />TO MAINTAIN HORSES ON LESS THAN THREE ACRES: <br />CASE OF THERESA DAHLHEIMER <br /> By: Sylvia Frolik, Community Development Director <br /> <br />CASE # <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On February 28, 2000 the City received a complaint that the property owners at 8820 <br />181st Avenue are exceeding the number of permitted horses on their property. The City <br />conducted an inspection of the property on March 16, 2000 and saw two horses on the <br />subject property. Staff verified the parcel to be 2.5 acres in size. City Code states that a <br />maximum of 2 horses are. allowed on parcels between 1.5 and 3 acres in size with a <br />conditional use permit. The property file did not-reflect an issuance of a conditional use <br />permit. Therefore the City sent notification on April 11, 2000 to the property owners <br />stating that there was a violation of Ramsey City Code and gave solutions to remedy the <br />violation. <br /> <br />Theresa Dahlheimer contacted the City and stated that she' does have 4 horses and owns <br />2.5-acres, but is also renting approximately 4 + acres from a neighbor. Ms. Dahlheimer <br />is requesting a conditional use permit to maintain a total of four horses on less than 3 <br />acres based on the fact that she rents approximately 4 acres from a neighbor, for a total of <br />6.5 acres. If she owned all 6.5 acres, 4 horses would be a legal number. The subject <br />property is located at 8820 181st Avenue and the applicant is renting property located at <br />8840 181st Ave. <br /> <br />The following information is enclosed for your review: <br /> <br />a) Site Location Map <br />b) Site Plan <br />c) Letter of Application <br />d) Letter to the Applicant dated April 11, 2000 <br />e) Statement from Theresa Dahlheimer regarding leased property <br />f) Letter to Theresa Dahlheimer explaining complaint dated October 24, 2000 <br />g) Letter fi'om Greg Matuseski dated January 15, 2001 <br />h) Draft Horse Board meeting minutes dated January 17, 200t <br />i) Letters from John Enstrom and Ken Dehn, Jr. dated February 5, 2001 and Janelle <br /> McCollum dated February 6, 2001, expressing opposition or concern with the <br /> requested permit <br /> j) Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes dated February 6, 2001 <br /> k) Proposed findings of fact <br />1) Proposed Conditional Use Permit <br /> <br />¸61 <br /> <br /> <br />
