City Of Ramsey Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 Re: Randy Lindgren's request for dog kennel license Gentlemen: We are neighbors directly adjacent to the premises of Randy bindgren and roommates. The kennel containing four of %he five dogs housed on this land faces directly into our back yard. We are approximately 250 feet away from the kennel itself. There is another dog tied up further away. %e do have problems with these dogs being a nuisance. %~e cannot even go out onto our bs.ck deck or back yard without having all five dogs barking at us. Lindgren built his home with his backyard facing onto our backyard. Our lots sit side by side and are 5 acres in total each. ~¥e have had a lot of problems with their hunting dogs chasing our tame and wild ducks we have raised and those that are on our private pond. One of the roommates has taken the liberty to bring all five dogs on our pond on thin ice in April and run the dogs in our back yard and after asking him to leave was abusive . We after that thought we would let the city handle such matters when continued problems came up, note police report and request to the city about the compliance problems of too many dogs and dogs at large (also police report-wherein roomates on Lindgren property unleashed one of the dogs contained for the dog catcher to pick up). Lately we really haven't had many times where the dogs cross the fence, but they do go onto ethers'land other than our own. Largely,'these dogs are unsupervised most of the time they are out. These dogs belong to a number of people - the roommates and R. Lindgren. To me, kennel license would seem to infer raising dogs for a business, breeding purposes or something asimiliar. The dog kennel could be moved to another location on the lot - facing an empty strip of land belonging to H. Stoez, perhaps, or the city could rule that this group of dogs does provide a nuisance and refuse a liceRse. It is really aggravating to have all those dogs yap at you - even to hang out a rug in your own back yard or go to listen to the birds. If the license means more than four or five dogs, too, I guess there would be lots of protest at this household. Also, it is a consideration What they do to remove the feces of all of these dogs. Whooping it down the hill would have to cease if run off and sanitation were .to be considered. Sincerely, Shar°n and Paul Hunt~ ~~
