Mr. Smith said if she waited to come back in when her permit was due to be renewed and did not, in the meantime, have more than the four horses on her property the Board would probably give her the four on the permit. As it stands now, the Board feels a permit for three horses with a variance for one more is what she should have. Mr. Smith feels that Lisa is going to try to intimidate us. He recommends the permit stay the same and does not recommend six horses. The Board thought that leaving the permit at four until it expires would be all right and at that time they will discuss it again. Mr. Smith said her mother, Virginia, takes the permit out and then tells us it is her daughter Lisa's problem. He said if Lisa did what the Board asked, in regard to the animal permit, then he could see the Board looking at her request. Mr. Lambie said he disagreed, if they don't have enough of their own land for six horses the Board should not even consider it. The Board agreed that Lisa should go by the rules and regulations with regard to the number of horses on the property. Mr. Smith said Lisa is doing an ample job right now with the horses she has but there were times she paid no attention to what the Board or the animal inspector told her to do to correct violations. The Board has given:.._ her a permit for three with a variance for one more. Dr. Roemer said Lisa doesn't seem to understand "grandfather" clause. Mr. Smith said,"She understands all right. Those other people that Lisa refers to on occasion are different cases altogether". Mr. Lambie asked, "Why not six? Mr. Smith said, "It is hard to answer that". Dr. Roemer said the Fitzgeralds do not have the physical requirements. She said we shouldn't have given her four. Mr. Smith said, "We gave her three with a variance for one more". Dr. Roemer wanted to know on what basis would we make an exception for Lisa, when we don't for others. Mr. Lambie said that we have, on occasion, done this for others but not very often. Mr. Smith said Osgood on Marrett Road was the only one he could remember. He was given a variance at the time to use some of the Lawless land. Mr. Lambie said that it never bothered him to give the variance but he guesses he was the only one it didn't bother. Mr. Smith said we have turned down others on Robinson Road and on Blossom - crest Road.
