Leeseher , � P9� 1 � -71 From: Dawn MARTIE - if ca-) 5 Senn: Monday, May 16, 2016 2:05 PM To: Leeseberg, Chris Subject: Tonight's Meeting Good Afternoon Chris - Happy Monday! I would first like to take a minute to "Thank you for your support and understanding" at the last meeting...... Regarding the conditional use permit to allow a private kennel next door to me. I would like to say the problem has not gotten any better since our last meeting. The dogs continue to be out of control / barking uncontrollably at my children and anyone walking around their yard (down the street). As you were made aware there is a bus stop on the corner of that home that has children there everyday. There is also a child with special needs that lives across the street and can rarely play in his own front yard because of the dogs charging the fence. understand that one proposal was to put the slates in the existing fence - but that does not help the dogs jumping and nipping problem. The problem is getting worse - with more children playing outside (including my own - in their own backyard) - the dogs are getting more aggressive and jumping higher and higher. Sooner or later they will figure out how to get over my fence and at my families expense. I strongly encourage any city member to view the recently submitted pictures & video (Sound too) to bring their children or grand children and come play in my yard if they truly believe there is no problem. I am so sorry I can not be in attendance tonight - I am hoping the city will follow thru with the recommendation to put up the 6 foot fence ASAP - including the side on the road. One neighbors decision to have to many aggressive dogs - should not be a whole neighborhoods problem. As they stated themselves they are rescuing dogs who come from terrible situations. This makes me feel these dogs are more venerable and able to attack if felt threatened in the least. I can tell you my tiny dog nor my children are the reason those dogs are aggressive and out of control. It seems a fence would be in their best interest as well. If more videos are pictures are needed I would be happy to take more - as this is a daily problem for my home and my neighborhood. Thank you once again for taking the time to hear my concerns Have a GREAT day! Dawn Martie 18037 Joplin Street NW Elk River, KAN 55330 ps..... ®n my letter of Public Hearing the City Counsel meeting date was incorrectly printed - which is the main my neighbors and myself were unable to come tonight and voice our concerns. I would be happy to have them email you as well if needed
