Parent's Signature Emergency Phone Number (Mandatory) COUNCIL AMENDS REQUIREMENTS FOR KEEPING HORSES On May 22, 1990, City Council adopted an amendment to the Horse Ordinance. The purpose of the ordinance amendment is to: 1) prohibit keeping horses on lots of record less than 1.5 acres in size; 2) require a conditional use per- mit to maintain a horse on a lot of record at least 1.5 acres in size but less than 3 acres in size; 3) require filing a sketch drawing of the property prior to maintaining a horse on a lot of record 3 acres and larger in size; 4) ensure proper handling, treatment and maintenance of horses. The acreage requirements for maintaining horses are as follows: a) No horses are permitted to be maintained on lots of record less than 1.5 acres in size; b) on lots of record at least 1.5 acres in size but less than 3 acres in size, a max- imum of two horses are permitted, but only with a condi- tional use permit; c) two horses are permitted on lots of record 3 acres in size and one additional horse is permitted for each full 1/2 acre over 3 acres; a sketch drawing of the property is required to be filed at the City. The process for obtaining a conditional use permit (CUP) to maintain horses on parcels greater than 1.5 acres but less than 3 acres in size shall be as prescribed in the City's Zon- ing Chapter. The application for a CUP must be initiated by the land owner. The cost to apply is $250 ($100 Application Fee and $150 Escrow Fee). The application fee is non- refundable; the escrow fee is used to cover costs incurred in processing the application and any funds remaining in the escrow balance at the completion of the processing of the CUP will be returned to the land owner. The Planning and Zoning Commission will conduct a public hearing regarding the request for a CUP; the Commission then makes a recom- mendation to City Council regarding the request; the Horse Care Commission shall also be consulted; the Council then makes the final decision to deny or approve the request. The sketch drawing required to be filed at the City prior to maintaining horses on lots 3 or more acres in size shall include the following information: a) name and address of property owner of subject property where horses are to be maintained and the name and address of occupant of the subject property; b) legal description of subject property; c) total acreage of subject property and amount of acreage of enclosed roaming area; d) number of horses to be main- tained on the subject property; e) sketch drawing showing to scale the location of all buildings on the property, fenced in pasture area, location and distance of all adjacent pro- perty's buildings from SUbject property, area on subject pro- perty where manure will be stored if the number of horses exceeds one horse per 1/2 acre of enclosed roaming area. (Note: Code currently requires that any new buildings con- structed for the purpose of housing animals must be located 75 feet from property lines.) The ordinances states that manure shall be handled in such a manner as not to create a public nuisance, and at a minimum, will be disposed of weekly when the number of horses on anyone lot exceeds one horse per 1/2 acre of enclosed roaming area. It also states that no horse shall be treated cruelly, no per- son shall keep a horse in a manner creating a public nuisance or private nuisance, and fences or corrals must be sufficient in strength to retain the horse(s) enclosed. No horses are permitted to run at large and the City may impound any horses found at large. Within 24 hours, the Horse Care Commission will be notified of the impoundment and notice of same will also be posted at City Hall. If the owner of the horse is known to the person impounding or the Horse Care Commission, personal service of notice of impoundment shall be served within 24 hours after impoun- ding. Costs incurred by the City in impounding horses shall be paid by the horse owner prior to releasing the horse. If a horse is not redeemed within 14 days of impoundment, the City shall give 3 days notice of the time and place where such horse will be sold. If the previous owner of the horse which was sold makes a claim for the sale proceeds within one year from the sale date, the City Treasurer, on order from the City Council, shall pay the previous horse owner the difference between the sale price and the cost of im- pounding, feeding and sales charges. No person may ride or drive a horse after sunset and before sunrise along or crossing any public way without appropriate lighting or reflectorized clothing. No person may ride or drive a horse in any public park, beach, golf course or other public property except within the right-of-way of public streets and highways and areas duly designated by the City as a trail or hitching area. The City will post those areas in public lands and parks where horses may be ridden. No person shall ride or drive a horse on private property without the prior written permission of the owner or occupant thereof. The new ordinance authorizes the City Council to establish a Horse Care Commission to assist the Community Develop- ment Department in resolving complaints regarding horses, to investigate complaints, to advise horse owners against whom complaints have been lodged and to recommend ap- propriate action to the City Council. The Council shall ap- point five persons to the Horse Care Commission, including when possible, a representative of the largest horse-oriented organization within the City. Any person convicted of a violation of the Horse Ordinance shall be puniShed by a fine of not more than $700.00 or by imprisonment of not more than 90 days. Each day a viola- tion is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense. This new ordinance will become effective June 25. All ex- isting properties where horses are being maintained are sub- ject to the requirements of this ordinance. Therefore, the City is requesting that all persons maintaining horses on parcels of land 3 acres and larger in size please file the above described sketch drawing with the City. Those persons main- taining horses on lots at least 1.5 acres but less than 3.0 acres in size are required to apply for a conditional use per- mit. It should be noted that even with the previous ordinance, a conditional use permit would have been required to keep a horse on less than 3 acres. If you have any questions, you may call Sylvia Frolik or Steve Lutmer at 427-1410. Thank you for your anticipated compliance with the requirements of the new horse ordinance. MEDIATION SERVICES REVIEWS 1989 While statistics are rarely interesting reading material, there's good reason to be impressed by the accomplishments of this community mediation program called MEDIATION SERVICES. For example, there was a consistent increase in the number of mediations taking place in 1989, but the most significant change was the dramatic increase in the number of intakes. The number of parties seeking information about mediation to resolve their problem increased by 44% dur- ing the year. This is attributed to the media exposure pro- vided the organization and a wider acceptance of mediation as a valid dispute resolution process. MEDIATION SERVICES provided mediation, consiliation and referral services to more than 800 people during 1989. Participants were assisted to resolve: 1) neighborhood and community disputes, 2) conflicts within families, 3) disputes between landlord and tenant; 4) disputes between business and consumer; 5) disputes involving charges of discrimination in the work place; and to parties opting for mediation rather than conciliation court. A record number of volunteer hours was recorded. More than 2,200 hours were provided by volunteers serving as case developers, mediators, office staff, board members and committee members. This is a 22% increase over 1988. Again, as the good work of the organization becomes known, people are eager to become involved. Much has been accomplished, but more remains to be done. If you are interested in helping support the important work of MEDIATION SERVICES by volunteering OR if you would like to talk to someone about arranging a mediation, please call the office at 755-5300. IS YOUR DOG OR CAT A NUISANCE TO YOUR NEIGHBOR? Section 110.3 of the City Codes states that: 1) "It shall be unlawful for any person to keep or harbor a dog which habitually barks or cries. It shall be unlawful for any dog owner to permit his dog to damage any lawn, garden or other property." 2) "It shall be unlawful for any person who owns, harbors or keeps a dog or cat or the parents or guardians of any such person under 18 years of age to allow such dog or cat to run at large." 3) "All dogs kept, harbored or maintained by their owners in the City of Ramsey shall be licensed and registered if over 6 months of age." 4) A conditional use permit for a private kennel is required where more than 2 dogs are kept." It's just common courtesy to abide by this ordinance. Don't let your pet become a problem for others.
