Here is the letter itself:
-A plan on manure disposal
-Statement from Neighbors
-Check zoning laws about outdoor building
-Call the Nursing Home, Brent, etc about visitations
Any suggestions or corrections are very appreciated, I've really got my hopes up that I'll get a positive response from them!
Things I plan on adding:Hello, my name is Paige ********. I am a resident of the Springfield Township of Hamilton, Ohio at 5555 ****** Drive (***-****-****-** is the parcel ID). For the past few months I have been looking into purchasing a miniature horse and pasturing it in our back yard, but I didn’t think to check with zoning laws until yesterday and to my dismay discovered that miniature horses are categorized under livestock, and therefore are said to need 3 acres of land. I am writing to you to seek an answer on whether or not you would make an exception or change to this.
For some time I have spoken through the internet with a friend who owns, shows, and trains 10 of her own miniature horses, and owns 3 horses as well. We have spoken various times about the care and maintenance that comes with owning a mini, who says the size of my yard is perfectly suited for the pasture of a single mini. I am well aware of the cost and time that must be put into the ownership of a miniature horse, as well as what we would need to do before purchasing one (ie. Removing poisonous plants, fixing up fences, proper shelter, etc). Miniatures stand from 25" at the shoulder to 34", and I plan on getting one on the smaller side. If you're having trouble visualizing their size, larger miniatures stand eye-to-eye with a Saint Bernard, and only create as much noise or waste as a dog. Miniatures also tend to weigh 150 lbs. and usually no more than 250 lbs.. I have been volunteering at the Winton Woods Riding Center for the past year, and have been riding and handling horses for the past four years quite frequently and believe I have enough knowledge to properly care for a miniature horse. Aside from the exercise made available in the yard, I plan on taking him on frequent walks and also training him, as I have even heard people have seen another girl do not so far from where I live.
Sincerely, Paige ********
