1.5153 Nowthen Boulevard NW · Ramsey, Minnesota 55503 City Hall' (763) 427-!.410 · Fax: (763) 427-5543 www.ci.ramsey.mn.us IV[ay 29, ~00o Bruce & Karen Konvak 16620 Zircorfium St. NW Ramsey, MN 55303 Dear Mr. & Mrs. Konvak: Tlxe purposeiof this letter is To inform you of the City of Ramsey's fencing regulations. The City has fielded t'~ number of calls over the past several days from concerned residents who have stated that th. ey have heard ~hat ~ electric fence is going to be installed around the perimeter of your property. [ am mcIuestit~g that you contact me as soon as possible to discuss this situation. City Code does state that fenCing material shall consist only of wood or chain link or other material as approved by t[~e Zoning Administrator. Thus, if you are considering installing an electric fence, it first need:~ to be approved by tim City. A number of the callers also stated that all the pine trees around the perimeter of the property are going to be removed to facilitate this fence. Many of the surrounding neighbors lmve children and there is a lot of concern with them coming in contact with this fence if it is placed right at the property, boundary. City Code does state that fencing must be located 100% on your property and it is tlxe fence owner's responsibility to locate tim property boundaries. Therefore, I would' like to discuss the possibility of leaving at least one row of trees between your propem./line and the ekectric t~knce. As a ~ina[ note, I want to inform you that we will be contacting someone from the Horse Care Commission:to advise [ts on the electric fence issue. Please contact me prior to June 5, 2003, to reform the City of your intentions or to dismiss some of tlxe rumors that people have lxeard. If I am riot availgble, please contact Sylvia Frolik, Community Development Director, by the above stated date. Either of us can be t'eached at 76o-4,.7-1410.
