July 15, 2002 Jim Murphy and Sandy Smith request for additional horse 1. The current smell being generated by tlie raw sewage, wliich is not being removed from property is almost unbearable in the summer. 2. The rainwater run off, washes the raw sewage from corral into the nature wetlands on my property', a permanent silt fence should be installed. 3. Downgrading of the neighborhood, which is made up of higher end homes with neatly groomed yards. They have a horse corral the size of a postage stamp with no grass and two horses. 4. Doesn ’t meet current set back requirements. 5. Doesn ’t meet lot acreage requirement for the number of horses. 6. Doesn ’t meet acreage requirement for pasture even for one horse. 7. Current pasture approximately 5,000 sq feet. One horse requires 87,120 sq feet. Two horses require 130,680 sq feet and Three horses would require 174,240 sq feet. Today they fall short by 125,680 sq feet 8. All residents should be held to the same standard no matter what their position may be. With all these requirements they are currently not meeting, I find it hard to believe they have been allowed to have even ONE I lORSE on this property’. Our neighborhood is one of finer homes, as is all of Orono. These developments of smaller lots sizes weren'; intended for the raising of livestock in this manner. Nobodv should have to live ne.xt to a 'lamyard. I his request should not even be considered and I feel it is inappropriate to continue to have any horse on this property. Current conditions should be revaluatcd and all horses removed. As a member of the same development, neighbor, and the President of the Orono Oaks Homeow'ner Association, 1 request that their application for an additional horse be REJECT Thank you John Dalbec 1565 Orono Oaks Drive, Long Lake, Mn. 55356 Submitted to the Planning Commission On This Date. Written Response Requested.
