Description of Project Narrative Dakotah's Doggy Daycare and Hotel The Dakotah Group, Inc. John Madsen October 6, 2016 I am requesting an ordinance amendment to include: "dog daycare facilities with the option of overnight boarding to be permitted in the Central Commercial (C-1) district as a conditional use permit". The reason for this Ordinance Amendment is that there is no current ordinance that addresses dog daycare facilities. The benefit to the city is that I will be able to improve the property at 503 Jackson, and will be able to create several new jobs in the community. I am proposing to begin a business located at 503 Jackson Avenue in Elk River. The name of the business will be Dakotah's Doggy Daycare and Hotel. The business will occupy the entire building. The business will initially provide two services, dog daycare and overnight boarding. Grooming and training may be added at a later date, depending on consumer demand. Preliminary conceptual drawings are included with this narrative. Please keep in mind that these drawings were developed prior to taking possession of the building, so they may be modified during the remodeling process as load-bearing walls, wiring and plumbing, HVAC, etc. are identified throughout the building. The daycare will operate very much like a children's daycare. Parents will drop their dogs off in the morning, and pick them up after work. Drop offs and pick ups will be done through the door on the south side of the building. There are eight parking spots on this side of the building for this purpose. During the day, the dogs will enjoy supervised play time, as well as training opportunities. The majority of the activity will take place indoors, but the dogs will be given structured play times (weather permitting) to enjoy supervised outdoor play as well. The photos below are similar to the facility we have in mind. Y S 1"
