Planning Commission meeting summary Staff received videos and photos of the dogs located on the subject property the afternoon of the April 26, 2016, Planning Commission meeting. Staff presented the videos, photos, and staff report. Following staff s presentation, three residents questioned the impact an additional dog would have on the neighborhood residents due to the aggressiveness and noise displayed by the current dogs. It was indicated the dogs have gotten out of the fenced area and the dogs charge the fence when the neighbor children walk by to get to the bus. The applicant provided history of the rescued dogs and how they tend to behave. They stated that the dogs do run up and down the fence, but they have had no incidents, other than they had to ask the neighbor's kids to stop throwing rocks at the dogs. Staff indicated to the commission that adding a 14th condition requiring a six (6) foot tall opaque privacy fence would seek to alleviate neighboring residents concerns. Staff is not supportive of vinyl slats in the chain link fencing as the dogs could still see through it and the slats could easily be chewed up by dogs. The Planning Commission discussed the impact a privacy fence would provide as well as the required location of such fence. With the staff recommended 14"' condition, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request with a 6-1 vote, Commissioner Thiel opposed. As there are no proposed structures or signs with this request, two conditions from the Planning Commission meeting have been removed as they dealt with building/sign permits. As a result, staff is recommending the 12 conditions in the action requested language. The 12"' condition is now the 14`' condition the Planning Commission recommended.
