In the <br />summer months, she has to put up with the smell and insects. There are <br />several police reports on file regarding Ms. Williams' horses breaking out <br />of the fence, since it was replaced, and wandering on neighboring <br />properties. The new fence is 52 inches high with 3 strands of wire, not <br />barbed or hot and not adequate to hold 6 horses; the lowest strand is 26-30 <br />inches above the ground which creates a potential for animals getting out <br />and children getting in. There is not adequate shelter on the property for <br />6 horses. In the evenings, the horses bang on their water troughs because <br />there is no water. <br /> <br />Larry Ferber - Stated that he called City Hall on December 6 and was told <br />that Ms. Williams' property totals 4.2 acres, not 6.6; Ramsey ordinance <br />requires 3 acres per horse; Ms. Williams has been in violation of the code <br />since she moved into the home; the property is zoned Residential, not <br />Agricultural.
