C. <br />10.B.2. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROMMANFRED G. MEIDEL REGARDING REVIEW <br />APPROVED USE AT LAPORTE FARMS <br />Manfred Meidel provided the Board with a seven -page handout (on file) and voiced <br />concerns over his neighbor, Laura LaPorte's property, the six-foot fence that was installed, <br />boarding animals on the property, and an illegal pond with improper setback. <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating informed the Board that Code <br />Enforcement had spent over one year researching and studying the pond in question, and that the <br />information was found to be inconclusive. He said that Laura LaPorte had provided letters from <br />her neighbors stating that the pond had been existing (not newly dug), and that Code <br />Enforcement had terminated the case. He clarified that the required 50 -foot setback did not <br />apply to this pond, only new ones. <br />Laura LaPorte, owner of LaPorte Farms, provided history regarding the purchase of her <br />land, explained the improvements she made to her home and property, and the details of the on- <br />going conflict with the pond. She thereafter described the particulars regarding her relationship <br />with her neighbor, Mr. Meidel. <br />25 <br />August 17, 2010 <br />
