If, for any reason, the Konzak's are not able to comply to the existing code regarding <br />fencing and do not agree'to fencing that is acceptable to tile families adjoining their <br />property, then the City of Ramsey should put Konzak's request on hold until an <br />ordinance can be established regarding electric fences. The Konzak's should continue to <br />use the existing electrical fence that is on their property to contain their horses until a <br />City ordinance regarding electrically charged fencing is openly debated, discussed and <br />adopted. For the Ciw of Ramsev to approve an electricallv char~ed fence 6 inches from <br />the propert.v, line that adjoins 13 residential properties is unacceptable. <br /> <br />I also want to point out how important the process is in reaching a fair conclusion to this <br />matter that minimizes acrimony among neighbors and your constituents. It is the <br />responsibility of the City and its appointed and elected representatives to serve citizen's <br />fairly and openly. At this point, [ am not aware that any of the surrounding neighbors <br />were directly involved in Chris Anderson's cun'ent proposal except for the Konzaks. <br />However, I do know that several, letters were sent out to the Konzaks from the City <br />concerning this issue. Chris Anderson's proposal is not based on due regard for the 13 <br />families that surrounds the Konzak property nor basic principles of fairness and <br />democracy. <br /> <br />The Community Development Committee needs to consider the long range plans that <br />Ramsey has for the City and do more to recognize the fact that Ramsey is less and less <br />rural every day. Currently Ramsey is growing very rapidly, with 2000 townhouses being <br />built, and with a new Town Center in process. I do not see how an electrical fence that <br />would run along 13 residential properties would be in the best interest of the future of <br />Ramsey, the residents who have lived here for over 15 years or be consistent with <br />Ramsey's developmental progress. <br /> <br />Please infmrn me of the next steps forward in reaching a reasonable decision. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Beverly Kleckner-Thiele <br />Dean Thiele <br /> <br /> <br />
