PUBLIC HEARINGS /COMMISSION BUSINESS <br />5.01: Public Hearing: Consider Request for Conditional Use Permit to Maintain Two <br />Horses on 2.50 Acres Located at 8010 176th Lane NW; Case of Linda Eidem <br />Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 7:03 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill presented the staff report noting the City received a <br />request for a Conditional Use Permit to maintain two (2) horses at 8010 176 Lane NW. City <br />Code allows horses to be maintained on parcels between 1.5 acres and 2.99 acres in size as a <br />conditional use. Staff reviewed the site plan in detail with the Commission. He explained that as <br />long as the owner can abide by the terms of the ordinance and the Conditional Use Permit, the <br />City may grant approval as requested in the amended Resolution. <br />Citizen Input <br />Vicky Orcott, 17631 Carnelian Street, did not object to the horses. She recommended the <br />Commission approve the request. <br />Scott Moline and Linda Eidem, 8010 176 Lane NW, thanked the Commission for considering <br />their request this evening. Mr. Moline stated he lives and works in Ramsey. He indicated his <br />daughter worked with horses. Ms. Eidem expressed concern with her adjacent neighbors and the <br />trash in their yard stating the issue with their neighbors led to the Conditional Use Permit <br />request. <br />Commissioner Field was pleased that one neighbor was her voicing support this evening. He <br />encouraged the applicants to move forward and work through the issues with their neighbor. <br />Commissioner Brauer questioned how long the horses have been on this property. <br />Ms. Eidem estimated the horses have been on the property for the past six years. She stated the <br />second horse was for her daughter and the permit would allow for training in the future. <br />Planning Commission /June 6, 2013 <br />Page 2 of 12 <br />
