The City <br />has fielded a number of calls over the past several days from concerned residents who have <br />stated that they have heard that an electric fence is going to be installed around the perimeter of <br />your property. <br /> <br />I am requesting that you contact me as soon as possible to discuss this situation. City Code does <br />state that fencing material shall consist only of wood or chain link or other material as approved <br />by the Zoning Administrator. Thus, if you are considering installing an electric fence, it first <br />needs to be approved by the City. <br /> <br />A number of the callers also stated that all the pine trees around the perimeter of the property are <br />going to be removed to facilitate this fence. Many of the surrounding neighbors have children <br />and there is a lot of concern with them coming in contact with this fence if it is placed right at the <br />property boundary. City Code does state that fencing must be located ~00% on your property <br />and it is the fence owner's responsibility to locate tl~e property boundaries. Therefore, I would <br />like to discuss the possibility of leaving at least one row of trees between your property line and <br />the electric fence. <br /> <br />As a final note, ~[ want to inform you that we will be contacting someone fi'om the Horse Care <br />Commission to advise us on the electric fence issue. Please contact me prior to June 5, 2003, to <br />inform the City of your intentions or to dismiss some of the rumors that people have heard. IfI <br />am not available, please contact Sylvia Frolik, Community Development Director, by the above <br />stated date. Either of us can be reached at 763-427-1410. <br /> <br />-195- <br /> <br /> <br />
