He found that the stmcture does not have an adequate roof He indicated, however, that the <br />foundation was adequate. <br />My findings, therefore are as follows: <br />The existing structure is located 10’ from the north property line. It is considered legally <br />non-conforming as to the required 75' setback from the north property line. The intent to <br />keep a horse on the property has been abandoned since no horse has been kept on the <br />property in the past 12 (twelve) months. <br />Keeping a horse on the property would require a conditional use permit which would be <br />reviewed by the City Planning Commission and Council. <br />The minimum lot area requirement is 3 (three) acres with at least 2 (two) acres for pasture <br />area. The Commission and Council would consider the location of the bam, the size of the <br />pasture area and horse management practices including manure composting and proximity <br />to adjacent residences. <br />Typically, City staff recommends that the applicant contact the University of Minnesota <br />extension service expert to analyze the site and the appropriateness for keeping a horse on <br />the property. Staff generally incorporates the expert's recommendation in the staff report. <br />The Zoning Code does not require that a horse be kept in a bam. I am not aware of any other <br />laws or ordinances that would require you to have a shelter for a horse. <br />You have several options available regarding the existing bam. Because it does not have an <br />adequate roof, it is currently vulnerable to the elements and habitation by undesired animals and <br />birds. <br />Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 4734)510
