Linda Allen and John Tomlinson are requesting a <br />conditional use permit to allow a private kennel at 20460 Meadowvale Road (R 1 a <br />Single Family Zoning District). The applicants property is 10.97 acres in size. Mr. <br />Wensman stated that the applicants currently have four dogs that their children <br />show for 4-H. The applicant intends to construct an outdoor kennel to house the <br />dogs, adjacent to a pole building. The dogs will be bred every couple of years; <br />however. they do not intend to increase the number of dogs kept on the <br />premises. The proposed kennel will be 650 feet from the nearest residence. which <br />is Christine White's residence. <br /> <br />Mr. Wensman stated that he inspected the site a second time after receiving the <br />letter from the Peck's (attached to staff report). Upon inspection he found <br />horses. sheep. goats. a cow. and chickens in excess of what is allowed by City <br />Ordinance for a 10.97 acre property. He noted that the applicants were <br />unaware of the City's animal ordinance and were willing to work with staff to <br />become compliant with the ordinance. Mr. Wensman stated that the applicant <br />has since taken action to reduce the number of animals. except for a cow which <br />they intend to have slaughtered next month. He noted that the issues of concern <br />which were mentioned the staff report have also since been addressed. Staff <br />recommends approval of the request with the conditions listed in the staff report. <br /> <br />Chair Mesich opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Kim Peck, 14290 205th Avenue NW, stated that the applicants have since put up a <br />fence to address their concerns regarding their dogs and they are happy with <br />results. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />John Tomlinson, applicant, noted that they intend to have their cow slaughtered <br />at the end of November. rather than in the spring.
