plans with the Warfields and Ericksons, and they have no objection to the <br /> • <br /> building (see attached signed letter). <br /> There are several other properties with buildings that together total a <br /> similar square footage to that of ours if this proposed building was erected. <br /> Some of these include the properties located at: 13431 Meadowvale Road, <br /> 20460 Meadowvale Road, and 21480 Meadowvale Road. All of these <br /> properties are significantly closer to the downtown area of Elk River than we <br /> are. <br /> There wasn't any action or inaction taken by us which resulted in the <br /> situation where our proposed building requires the approval of a variance. <br /> • This building would enable us to use and enjoy our horses throughout <br /> the entire year rather than just during the few short months of warm weather <br /> we have in Minnesota. Considering the expense of owning horses, it only <br /> makes sense to be able to extend the riding season. During the winter months <br /> cold temperatures, snow and ice make horseback riding outdoors unsafe as <br /> well as uncomfortable. When spring finally arrives, much of the riding <br /> season must be spent conditioning and retraining the horses to get them back <br /> in shape after the long winter layoff. This would not be necessary with the <br /> use of an indoor arena to ride in during the winter. <br />
