Katherine E. Simmons <br /> 231 Nile Place <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> Home Phone 763-441-2903 <br /> <br />June 09, 2000 <br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />Planning <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />P.O. Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />Re: Request for Conditional Use Permit <br /> <br />To Whom it May Concern, <br /> <br />The following outline will explain my request for a Conditional Use Permit. <br /> <br />REASON: To house show rabbits for personal show rabbit hobby. <br /> <br />HOUSING: Rabbits will be housed in the basement of my dwelling. (Hutches are made specifically for rabbits, <br /> are designed to stack and will vary in size from 24X24 inches to 24X30 inches.) Holland Lops are the <br /> specific breed I will be showing and reach a maximum weight of 3 to 4 pounds. These sizes of hutches <br /> are more than sufficient for this breed, as 18X24 is the minimum size hutch recommended for this size <br /> breed. <br /> <br />**See enclosed floor plan for specific layout of room. <br /> <br />FUTURE CAPACITY: My anticipated maximum capacity would be around 24 cages. Each cage would house <br /> one rabbit or one growing litter of rabbits. <br /> <br />RABBITS: Since these are show quality rabbits approximately 80% of offspring would be sold or traded to other <br /> rabbit showers. Another 10% would be retained by myself, and approximately 10% could be sold as <br /> pets. None would be sold for commercial use or meat. <br /> <br />WASTE: 100% of rabbit waste is compostable and suitable for landscape use. I will be utilizing all waste for this <br /> purpose. We already have an established compost pile for our yard waste and pet rabbit waste. <br /> <br />SIGNAGE: NONE. Occasional advertising would be done through local newspapers. <br /> <br />TRAFFIC: NONE. No additional traffic impact. Rabbits to be sold will be taken to shows or an occasional buyer <br /> may drive to my house. <br /> <br />SITE IMPACT: NONE. Nothing different to property is being done. <br /> <br /> Thank You, <br /> <br />! <br /> <br /> <br />
