Councilmember Hendrikgen noted that gomeone could not meet the conditiong o£ the conditional use permit if they owned only part of thc property. City Attorney Goodrich explained that the conditions in the conditional use permit, that have been agreed upon, are unique to the property. Item #4 of the Conditional Use Permit states that the number of horses would have to be reduced if the land is no longer leased. Mayor Gamec inquired if it was possible to include in the Conditional Use Permit that the permit goes with the property owner not the land. Community Development Director Frolik explained that the City has done so on occasion with home occupations. City Attorney Goodrich noted that State Statute prescribes that conditional use permits run with the land. Councilmember Hendriksen stated that if the permit is operated within the terms agreed upon then the Conditional Use Permit is valid.

Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to adopt Resolution #01-02-146 approving the issuance of a conditional use permit, based on the Findings of Fact, to Theresa Dahlheimer to maintain four horses on property that includes 2.5 acres of owned property and four acres of leased land, and declaring terms of permit. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Kurak, Anderson, and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. John Enstrom, 8702 - 181st Avenue NW, Ramsey, stated that he feels that letting horses run on the property is a travesty to the City. He and two of his other neighbors are opposed to the request. The property that Ms. Dahlheimer is leasing is full of quick sand and is not safe for the horses. There are no fences connecting the two properties. The Dahlheimers have never had a good system of disposing of animal waste. They dispose of waste in the front of their yard and that should not be tolerated. They have also spread manure on some on the neighbors property, to their demise. City Council/February 27, 2001 Page 6 of 23
