The Fitzgerald's are the only ones living in the house and he would assume no <br />overnight volunteers or clients and hopefully there will not be any drug rehabilitation allowed <br />with this program. He asked how many horses are allowed on 7 acres without special <br />approvals. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill stated the applicant owns two contiguous parcels, which give them <br />approximately 12 acres. City code allows for two horses with three acres and an additional horse <br />for every full acre over three. The applicant will be within City Code with the six to eight horses <br />the applicant is applying for. <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated on a 12 acre parcel per City <br />Code 11 horses would be allowed. <br />Glenna Anderson, 7280 181 Avenue NW, stated she is in attendance for informational purposes. <br />Her biggest concern was if this was going to be a residential program. Her house is within visual <br />range of the barn and pasture. <br />Mr. Hunt stated there is a 50 yard meadow /wetland at the corner where their properties match up <br />and anything the applicant would put in the southeast corner would drain onto his property. He <br />would ask that they don't deposit their waste in that corner. <br />Planning Commission /December 1, 2011 <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />
