There <br /> are several items of information the City of Ramsey Council needs to be aware of when considering this <br /> request. <br /> The Homeowner has housed the potbelly pig on their property for several months which is in violation of City <br /> of Ramsey ordinance Sec. 10-1. - Keeping of certain animals, livestock and poultry. (a) Animals on less than <br /> three acres. None of the following animals shall be maintained on any parcel of land in the city that is not at <br /> least 3.0 acres (130,680 square feet) in size: llamas, cows, mules, donkeys, burros, goats, pigs, sheep, Iambs, <br /> turkey, geese and ducks. The property, Lot 4, Block 4, Northfork Links Addition, Anoka County Minnesota is <br /> 1.96 acres. Also contained in this ordinance is section (g) Miscellaneous maintenance standards, <br /> which contains; <br /> 1. Chickens must be contained in an enclosure and said enclosure must be designed in accordance with <br /> City Code chapter 117, article II (Zoning) and MN State Building Code.

The enclosure and surrounding grounds shall be maintained in a clean and sanitary <br /> condition and in good repair. Flies, rodents and noxious odors shall be controlled. <br /> 2. The enclosure shall remain completely enclosed to prevent unwanted intrusion by outside animals <br /> and migratory birds. <br /> 3. A confined exercise area must be provided for the animals.
