2. To assist the city of Arden Hills in developing guidelines that encourage the keeping of <br />bees within the city limits. Based on our research of other bee -friendly communities, <br />below are some initial guidelines to consider that seem rather standard in urban <br />beekeeping. I realize these may need to changed and/or expanded upon. <br />The number of hives on residential lots is not to exceed: <br />i. 1 acre or larger: 8 <br />ii. 1 acre — % Acre: 6 <br />iii. 4 Acre to % Acre: 4 <br />iv. % acre or less: 2 <br />b. The beehive(s) must not be located in the front of a property or a side yard that <br />abuts a street. <br />c. They may be no closer than twenty-five (25) feet to an occupied building on <br />another lot and/or any public trail or walkway. <br />d. The hives shall be located at least ten (10) feet from a property line. <br />e. Any property owner who keeps bees shall provide and maintain a nearby, <br />designated water source. <br />The proposed location for hives on our property: <br />View facing North. <br />View facing South <br />
