7. COUNCIL BUSINESS 7.01: Adopt Resolution #21-050 Approving a Non-Traditional Animal License at 5751 Lane NW (Project No. 21-107); Case of Miguel and Breeka Jaramillo Deputy City Administrator Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Resolution #21-050 approving a Non-Traditional Animal License for Miguel and Breeka Jaramillo th to maintain one fainter/mini-cross goat at 5751 150 Lane NW. He noted that one person submitted written communication opposing the request while multiple people are available online and in person to speak about the request. He noted that an online petition was received with multiple signatures and staff is working to determine the locations of those that signed the petition. He noted that while this is not a public hearing, the Council could allow members of the public to speak if desired. Councilmember Howell stated that it appears this property is a combination of three lots and received confirmation of that by staff. She stated that if two lots were sold, that would leave one quarter acre lot which would seem small for a goat. She suggested that a minimum lot size be included in the approval. Deputy City Administrator Gladhill confirmed that an agreement could be attached specifying those details if desired. Mayor Kuzma invited the property owner to come forward. Breeka Jaramillo, 5751 Lane NW, stated that the animal is hers and she and her father rent the property. She stated that she has 43 Ramsey resident signatures in support of the request. She stated that her online petition has 449 signatures in support of the request. She noted that all but two of her neighbors signed in support of her request, one of which was not home and the other is the neighbor that filed the complaint. Councilmember Musgrove appreciates that the residents were willing to work with staff on any other code violations. She asked if the residents have spoken with the neighbor about their concerns. Ms. Jaramillo stated that her neighbor said that he did not have a problem with the goat being there but that the lot was not up to Ramsey standards. Councilmember Musgrove stated that she was not aware the property was being rented. She asked if all three lots are being rented. Ms. Jaramillo confirmed that they rent the properties and received a signature of support from the property owner. Councilmember Musgrove stated that she is not opposed to the request but believes that additional specification is needed as to the lot size. She also wanted to ensure that the other code enforcement items could be addressed. City Council / March 9, 2021 Page 4 of 21
