153 Nowthen Boulevard ~ · Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 <br /> City Hall: (763) 427-1410 · Fax: (763) 42'7-5543 <br /> www.ci.ramsey, mn.us <br /> <br />November 24, 2003 <br /> <br />&[ark & Terri Kubat <br />6530 16~t" Ave NW <br />Ramsey, lvlN 55303 <br /> <br />Re: electric fence on neighboring property <br /> <br />Dear Mr; & Mrs. Kubat: <br /> <br />The purFose of this letter is to update you regarding the fence installation on your <br />neighbor's property. By now, you are more than likely aware that Bruce and Karen <br />Konzak are relocating an electric fence to the perimeter of their property. <br /> <br />Currently, Rarnsey's City Code does not specifically prohibit electric fences. Our <br />ordinance states that materials other than wood or chain link need the appro,~al of the <br />Zoning Administrator. One of the reasons this clause was included in City Code was to <br />allow other types of fencing to be used in conjunction with agr/cultural activities and <br />horses o~ livestock. <br /> <br />City Staff arid Council members have worked with the Konzaks and many of the <br />surrounding neighbors in an effort to reach a reasonable compromise. Following is an <br />outline oi' what has been approved: <br /> <br /> · Five (5) wire strands affixed to the inside of the bo-'"~; either directly or through <br /> insulators, with the top, middle, and bottom lines having the capability to carry an <br /> electrical charge. <br /> · Three (3) barrier (NON-LIVE) lines to be affixed to the outside of each post to <br /> provide separation between the adjoining properties and the potentially <br /> electrically charged lines. <br /> · The three (3) "live" wire strands on the inside of the posts cannot be activated <br /> until construction is 100% complete and completion includes all three barrier <br /> (NON-LIVE) lines being in place. <br /> · The posts of this fence shall not be closer than six (6) inches to the property line. <br /> · The three (3) ~'live" wires will only be activated when deemed necessary and will <br /> not be charged on a continual basis. <br /> <br /> <br />
