The modifications included: New acreage requirements Site plan requirements. Mr. Banwart suggested that a site plan fee be added. The Planning and Zoning Commission made a motion to accept the proposed changes and for Mr. Ten'3, Hendriksen to present the Proposed Horse Ordinance with thc modifications. On June 13, 1989, the Ramsey City Council was given a presentation by Terry Hendriksen, Ramsey Planning and Zoning Commissioner regarding the most recent version of the proposed horse ordinance based on past discussions with the City Council. There was some discussion regarding whether or not the role of the Horseman's Committee should be advisory or enforcement. The Council directed City Attorney Goodrich to rework the Horseman's Committee section and present the ordinance to City Council for introduction. On August 22, 1989, the Ramsey City Council introduced the Horse Ordinance. Staff identified a number of issues in the ordinance which would cause problems, specifically the Horseman's Committee responsibility to conduct land-use decisions and the need to have a Conditional Use Permit process. On April 3, 1990, the Rarnsey Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the modified Horse Ordinance. Commissioner Hendriksen reviewed the proposed horse ordinance with the Commission and it was determined that it should be amended as follows: a) Rather than the sketch plan approval process, sketch plan drawings will be required to be submitted to the City for maintenance of horses on 3.0 acres or more. This change in the proposed ordinance would also involve deletion of that proposed language requiring Planning Commission and City Council reviews of sketch plans. b) Include language that will clarify that maintenance of horses on "lots of records" 3.0 acres or less in size will require a conditional use permit. c) The table indicating acreage increments and number of allowable horses needs clarification. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that City, Council approve the proposed horse ordinance pending Commissioner Henrt,dksen's approval of the final draft. Commissioner Hendriksen has reviewed concerns with the proposed ordinance as it is presented. On Max, 8, 1990, the Ramsey Ci~' Council introduced Ramsey CiD' Ordinance #90- HORSgS.
