MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> August 20,2001 <br /> (#01-2698 Kim and John Puckett,Continued) <br /> Bottenberg stated the 13 acres includes the easement area as well as some wetlands. <br /> Kluth recommended the number of horses in this case not be tied to the amount of pasture land <br /> available. Kluth inquired if a portion of the land is sold whether the Applicant would be required to <br /> come back before the Planning Commission if the number of horses allowed on this property is <br /> determined based on the acreage. <br /> Smith stated they would have to. <br /> Puckett stated they do not have any intentions to sell the additional lot. <br /> Smith noted the horses should not be allowed in the areas designated for septic sites. <br /> Gaffron stated the number of horses being proposed for this amount of land is acceptable to Staff and <br /> should not pose a problem with the septic sites. Gaffron indicated Staff would not have a problem with <br /> the density of horses being proposed unless the Applicant elects to pasture all ten horses on a very small <br /> pasture area. <br /> Mabusth stated it would be helpful if the Applicant submitted a plan to the City showing exactly where <br /> the pasture area will be along with the septic sites prior to the City Council meeting. <br /> Puckett stated they would be agreeable to submitting a plan showing the septic sites,training areas, and <br /> pasture areas. Puckett stated they would also be relocating the fence. '� <br /> Mabusth inquired whether the 15 horses also includes the two or three horses the Applicant owns <br /> personally. <br /> Puckett stated it does. Puckett stated due to economic reasons, she would like to board 15 to 19 horses, <br /> with the minimum number being 15. <br /> Kokesh indicated there is a horse farm located in Medina who has 32 horses on 13 acres and another <br /> horse farm who has 40 horses on 15 acres. <br /> Smith stated the Planning Commission would need to determine how many horses should be allowed to <br /> be boarded on this property. <br /> Lindquist stated he would be okay with 19. <br /> Berg and Kluth stated they also were in agreement with 19. <br /> Smith inquired under what conditions the Planning Commission should review the number of horses <br /> boarded on the property. <br /> Lindquist stated the Planning Commission should revisit this issue if one of the lots is sold off. <br /> Smith inquired what arrangements the Applicant has concerning manure removal. <br /> PAGE 11 <br />
