Recognition of Visitors
The Chair recognized Mr. Fred Foreman, 748 Amberjack Lane, who asked what
action could be taken to allow him to house and maintain a 34 inch tall
miniature horse on his premises at 748 Amberjack Lane. Mr. Foreman
presented a brief history background on miniature horses. Mrs. Bette
Lamb, the breeder, commented that several Fla. cities have granted zoning
variances for the horses. The City Attorney advised that no action on
zoning variances could be taken at that time; however, he will research
the matter and report back at the next meeting. Mr. Moss said this case
is not a question of zoning. The Ordinance prohibiting horses is under
Chapter 4 of the Code-Animals and Fowl, and a variance to the zoning woulc
not grant the party any benefit at all. Mr. Foreman asked if he could be
granted a temporary variance until the matter is settled, and the City
Attorney explained that the Commission will have to determine if they want
:o amend the Ordinance so as to provide for the keeping of certain types
of animals on properties. Richard Cleghorn, 736 Amberjack, and John Semide ,
735 Bonita along with several other residents, strongly objected to the
possibility of any action by the Commission that would allow Mr. Foreman
to keep the horse on his premises. Mayor Howell stated that no action wou
be taken that night. He said the horse is in violation of the City Code
and referred the matter to the City Manager and the Police Chief.
