In response to this claim, he has included support letters from 9 of the 12 residences and promises to bring in the tenth. Mr. Korth has submitted additional items specifically news paper articles that record other incidents in surrounding munici palities. Pigmy goats were classified as house pets. As Mr. Korth claims they are no bigger than german shepherd, golden labradors, etc. and a lot less noisy. They are kept and treated as a house pet. The applicant has submitted 2 names for members to call if they wish confirmation on the classification as house pet.

The two acre area standard was satisfied. In this case the area standard of 2 acres cannot be satisfied.
