PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS 6.01: Public Hearing: Consider a Variance to Horse Stable Setbacks at 17400 Baugh St NW Public Hearing Chairperson Gengler called the public hearing to order at 7:05 p.m. Presentation City Planner Martin presented the staff report stating that staff recommends approval of the variance to the stable setback. Commissioner Bauer asked if these buildings were in place before City Code and therefore would be grandfathered in. City Planner Martin commented that the City did not have the information that horses were kept on the property when subdivision of the property took place in 2004 but based on information from a neighbor and aerial imagery horse have been kept on the property since the 1970's and could have predated the incorporation of Ramsey. Commissioner VanScoy stated that if the activity was there before, would the horses then be grandfathered in as well. Planning Commission/ September 26, 2024 Page 2 of 14
