New Hampton resident Sara Scobee attended the council meeting to request having a horse on her property, which is located inside the city limits. Her address of 2200 South Linn Ave and she is requesting the council allow her no more than 2 horses on her property. The council was in favor of limiting her to two horses as long as she is the owner of the property. City Attorney Prichard will draft an agreement which grants her permission to have no more than 2 horses. Ms Scobee is aware that she also needs permission from the Board of Adjustment for a Special Exception to the Zoning Ordinance. If that request is approved, Prichard will prepare the agreement for signatures from both parties. This request will be discussed at the next possible council meeting after the Board of Adjustment has reviewed the request.
PWD Mai has been contacted by the resident at 222 East Washington who is concerned about the erosion of his property due to the water way that runs through his property.

The council supported Mai’s request to discuss with the property owner possible solutions for the erosion concerns.
