their lot. Since the potbelly pig and the eight chickens use the same animal exercise area,the chicken <br /> manure is also being composted and then spread throughout their lot.We do not consider composting <br /> the manure and then spreading on the property meets the sanitary or removed requirements. <br /> The Homeowner mentions that they built a potbelly pig house. The Homeowner also has a chicken <br /> coop and an animal exercise area. That question we have is how many permanent accessory buildings <br /> can be built on a property that is 1.96 acre in size? <br /> Also contained in the letter from the Homeowner to the City of Ramsey are several pictures of the <br /> potbelly pig and the potbelly pig house. In one of the pictures you can see what appears to be electric <br /> conduit going into the potbelly pig house. Our question here is,was a City of Ramsey permit issued for <br /> the installation of electricity in the potbelly pig house? <br /> The Northfork development was plotted and developed as a Plan Unit Development and has a <br /> homeowners association. The Northfork Homeowners Association has four documents known as <br /> "Governing Documents." They are the following: <br /> 1. Articles of Incorporation of Northfork Homeowners Association, Inc. ("Articles"); <br /> 2. Bylaws of Northfork Homeowners Association, Inc. ("Bylaws"); <br /> 3. The Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Northfork <br /> Homeowners Association, Inc. ("Declaration"); and <br /> 4. The Northfork Homeowners Association Rules and Regulations ("Rules and Regulations"). <br /> Pursuant to Article IX of the Declaration any building or placement of a structure on property within <br /> Northfork is not to be commenced unless and until the plans and specifications for the structure have <br /> been approved by the Architectural Review Committee. Currently the Homeowner has the following <br /> Architectural Review violations; <br /> 1. Plans and specifications for the potbelly pig house built on the property have not been <br /> submitted or approved by the Architectural Review Committee; <br /> 2. Plans and specifications for a chicken coop built on the property have not been submitted or <br /> approved by the Architectural Review Committee; and <br /> 3. Plans and specifications for the fenced in animal exercise area built on the property have not <br /> been submitted or approved by the Architectural Review Committee. <br /> In addition to the Architectural Review violations,the Homeowner has chickens and a pig housed on <br /> the property which are not allowed pursuant to the Rules and Regulations. <br /> We bought and built in Northfork, an executive golf course community that has an association with <br /> governing documents in place.These governing documents do not allow a "Hobby Farm" being built <br /> and maintained. Based on the information provided,we are asking the City of Ramsey Council to vote <br /> NO to the Homeowner's request for a Non-Traditional Domestic Animal License. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> William and Nancy Kingston <br /> Page 2 <br />
