City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 PHONE: (763) 427-1410 FAX (763) 427-.5543 TOD (763) 427-8591 -70- October 24, 2000 Theresa Dahlheimer 8820 181~t Ave. Ramsey, MN 55303 Dear Mrs. Dahlheimer: Per your request, the following is an explanation of the complaint the City .received on the above stated property along with the course of action and dates that have occurred. On February 28, 2000 the City received a telephone complaint that the property located at 8820 Avenue contained three (3) horses and they only had 2.5 acres. On March 16, 2000 an inspection was conducted on the property located at 8820 181'* Avenue by City Staff; the inspection revealed that there was two (2) horses outside on the prope:'.y. The City has now become the complainant. The Horse Ordinance states that maintaining horses on lots of record less than 3 acres in size require a Conditional Use Permit. On April 11,2000 the City sent a letter notifying the owners that there was a violation of Ramsey City Code 5.09.05 Horses and gave solutions to remedy the situation. The City received a phone call from Theresa Dahlheimer stating that they were renting 3.4 acres of their neighbor's property and she believed they were grandfathered in. In regard to renting acres from a neighbor, the horse ordinance calculates the number of horses allowed on a parcel by the size of the Homeowners lot of record.. If you have any questions on the above statements please fee[ flee to give me a call at 427-1410. Also for . your information as of Tuesday, October 24, 2000 the City will have an appointed Horse Care Board Commission ready to begin meeting in November of 2000.
