MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 27, 1978 - PAGE 14 <br />Mr. Platteter was present. <br />The Zoning Administrator stated the proposed <br />location of the stable will require a 60 ft. and <br />a 20 ft. variance from the east and south lot <br />lines respectively. He noted that in the past <br />the City has had problems with the horses on <br />this property extending over the fence and eating <br />the neighbor's vegetation before Mr. Platteter <br />owned this property. <br />Mr. Platteter pointed out on the survey the location <br />of the fence and stated he is proposing to remove <br />all the old fencing and replace it. He explained <br />there is a great slope which dictates why he <br />is requesting a variance. He did not feel he could <br />move the barn. He stated he plans to have 2 mares, <br />2 gildings and 2 arabians. <br />The Zoning dministrator stated on this 7 acre <br />parcel, 5 horses would be allowed with a conditional <br />use permit. <br />Mr. Platteter stated he has talked with some <br />builders who suggested the barn be 60 ft. x <br />60 ft. to accommodate the 4 ft. modulars. He <br />explained these horses are show horses and do not <br />eat off the bround because they are on a constant <br />high protein feed. He added that he plans to keep <br />any ponies for 1 - 2 years. <br />Tim Adams asked how many acres of pasture there <br />would be. Mr. Platteter replied about 3 - 4 <br />acres. <br />The Commission discussed the amount of dry land <br />which could be used for pasture and how much <br />was wetlands. <br />Tim Adams stated they are only pasturing about � <br />of the property, adding that the wetlands is good <br />for pasture and that the horses are there <br />frequently. <br />Chairwoman McDonald asked how much would be fenced. <br />Mr. Platteter replied they plan 3 pastures, each <br />1/3 of the total area. Commissioner Hammerel <br />asked if the fence would keep the horses from <br />the neighbor's vegetation. Mr. Platteter assured <br />the Commission this would not be a problem. <br />t,/DENNIS PLATTETER <br />809 BROWN ROAD NORTH <br />VARIANCE <br />#357 <br />Commissioner Wilson stated he felt some provision <br />should be included to take care of any complaints. <br />
