Matthew and Jennifer Hill 30764 State Road 35/77 Danbury, WI 54830 September 18, 2012 Burnett County Zoning Administration Zoning Committee 7410 County Road K, 4102 Siren, WI 54872 To Whom It May Concern: We are applying for a conditional use permit at our personal residence for keeping livestock on our property. We would like to be able to keep two horses on our land in a residential area for recreational use. I understand that our lot is not very big and does not typically warrant the use of livestock. We do have the facilities on our property to keep two horses. We have a shelter that will hold both of the horses. The horses will also be fenced in an area surrounding that shelter(with a future expansion of the electric fence to the back of the property also). During the spring, summer, and fall the horses will graze and be fed grain/oats with hay to supplement. During the winter they will be fed hay and grain/oats. Their manure will be composted and used with our gardens and our families' gardens. Our parents own the 10 acres directly south of the property owned by the St Croix Tribe. We are in the process of cutting trails on that property, and it will be an excellent path to use for exercising the horses. We have already discussed our plans with the owner of the Trailside Motel and the St. Croix Housing Authority. They do not mind us having horses. Again, we understand that our property will not provide a lot of space for the horses, but the horses will have regular exercise, be offered alternative grazing areas in our yard,they will be given hay as needed, and they will be fed grain/oats twice a day yearly. The horses will be given love and attention, which is what they need right now. Both horses need to find new a home and I hope that we will be able to offer that to them. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, �� Q v Matthew and Jennifer Hill Enclosures
