After doing some research of ordinances and zoning for this area, we found a map in the Lino Lakes 2030 Comprehensive Plan. This map showed a print date of April 2008 and listed the existing land use as of 2006, and shows the two properties noted as "rural residential", but newer maps show this area now listed as "RI — Low Density Residential". All properties in this area and on the south side of Highway 23 are shown on the 2008 map (from the seaplane base to just before Trapper's Restaurant) as being colored light yellow or rural residential per the map legend. This map is attached to this document (see page 3-9). Finally, we have talked with a majority of the local home owners in our area about this issue. Each of the home owners we talked with have verbally agreed to sign a petition to ask for rezoning of this area. The animals have not been a nuisance to our neighbors, and in fact, quite the opposite has happened. The neighbors and many members of our community have enjoyed stopping by with their children/grandchildren to enjoy them. It has been a positive experience all around for our family and others in the community. We hope to be able to continue for the next seven to eight years housing the horses and goats as we pursue the development and expansion of our children, as well as their sense of responsibilities and accountability as they continue in their growth in the 4H experience.
