Subject: Opposition to the IUP request at 16315 209th St N
We DO NOT support this request for 15 or more beef cattle on only 6.15 acres at 16315 209th Street North. We
believe that 20 cows on that property are way too many for this single-family residential neighborhood.
You will be infringing on our rights to enjoy our property due to the fact that we would have to smell manure
and also manure attracts lots of flies. We moved here 24 years ago to have more privacy by having a house on
some land, rather than a small city lot. If we wanted to live next to a large quantity of livestock, we would have
purchased a different property. I have spoken with other neighbors, and they also disagree with this request.
In researching online even though Dexter cows are smaller, they still require about an acre per cow and will
still produce a fair amount of manure. The acreage need for Dexter's tells me that there should only be half or
less qty of cows allowed from what they are requesting.
We request that the city council deny this permit.
