Councilmember Anderson noted that she spoke with Barb Scottston, Horse Care Board Member, <br />and she stated that she is willing to discuss the ordinance with the Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he would like to hear their reasoning, because it does not <br />make sense to him. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik suggested having the Council meet with the Horse <br />Care Board to discuss their concerns. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak stated that the enclosed pasture area is an important thing to be <br />considered. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to table action until <br />the Council can meet with the Horse Care Board to discuss their concerns. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Kurak, Anderson, <br />and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Jon Enstrom stated that he does not think the Horse Care Board has any sense of caring for <br />horses because they permitted four horses on a one acre lot and last night those four horses were <br />out running lose. On a one-acre lot, there is no place to dispose of manure for four horses so his <br />neighbors are spreading the manure between parked cars in their front yard. He stated that he felt <br />that the Council should limit the number of horses per acre. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he started the first Horse Care Board and the one thing he learned is <br />that maintenance is a key issue. It is not necessarily the number of horses or the amount of land. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that the size of the parcel is related to the ability to handle the <br />amount of manure. One of the old Horse Care Board members was maintaining four horses on a <br />one-acre lot as well as having a house, garage, etc. and none of the neighbors had a complaint. <br />The property that Mr. Enstrom is referring to has a conditional use permit so if there is a <br />problem, he needs to bring it to the attention of City staff. If the property owner does not correct <br />the problem then they will lose their horses. <br /> <br />Case #4: <br /> <br />Introduction of an Ordinance Authorizing the Sale of Lot 4, Block 1 Gateway <br />North Industrial Park No. 5, Anoka County, Minnesota <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that the City has entered into a TIF agreement with Lundeen <br />Holdings, LLC. As part of the transaction, the City is to convey title to Lot 4, Block 1, Gateway <br />North Industrial Park No. 5 to Lundeen, LLC. In order to complete this transaction, a sale <br />ordinance needs to be introduced and adopted authorizing the sale. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Anderson, seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen, to introduce an <br />ordinance authorizing the sale of Lot 4, Block 1, Gateway North Industrial Park No. 5. <br /> <br />City Council/August 14, 2001 <br /> Page 9 of 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
