Summary

The board received two nuisance complaints—one alleging four dogs at a property and another alleging excess horses per acre—and Chair Mike Helman said he would work with the county and property owners to ensure compliance.

The board recorded two nuisance complaints under new business and reviewed county ordinance language as part of the discussion. For property ID 216100332201 the complaint indicated the owners keep four dogs; Chair Mike Helman said if the property owner continues to keep four dogs they would need to apply for an interim use permit/dog kennel and that "he would work with the property owner/county to make sure compliance." The board did not take immediate enforcement action at the meeting.

A second complaint, property ID 216100332202, alleged too many horses per acre; Chair Helman said he would contact county officials to clarify how many animals are allowed per acre under county rules. The minutes do not record any specific county ordinance numbers or timelines for follow-up beyond Helman’s stated intention to coordinate with the county.
