Narrative: 19101 Zebulon St Nw, Elk River, MN 55330 Conditional UPer, , it I Application/ Private Kennel Permit application. E t L AFAR 2 5 2019 Introduction: This narrative is to serve as supplementary information related to conditional use permit application of Karen Randall located at 19101 Zebulon St. NW, Elk River, MN 55330. The applicant is Karen M. Randall, EKA Karen M. Straka, the owner of the property. The purpose of the Conditional Use Permit application is to support a Private Kennel Permit application. The Conditional Use permit application is needed for several reasons including the lot size being only 2.5 acres, and the number of animals on the property. Background information: The animals at the property are household pets. We do not breed or board animals. All of the pets on the property are spayed or neutered. The pets do not reside outside of the home for living quarters and are not left unattended when outdoors. The property is enclosed with a privacy fence. Separately from the outward privacy fence on the property, the pets have a private yard also fenced within the property to protect them from other animals such as birds of prey etc. This separate yard is shaded and has additional shelter for them as well. The separate yard is primarily for the small dogs of the property to be able to safely play outside without risk of predatory wildlife harming them. The 2 Large pets have the run of the backyard of the property within the Privacy fence, as well as a kennel area to contain them if needed for any reason. Background on the animals: There are 9 dogs, 2 cats on the property, all pets, all housetrained. 7 of the dogs are small dogs, Pomeranians, a dachshund, a griffon Brussels, and a mix breed. All 7 of these little one's weigh under 20 pounds. Originally, we took them in due to abandonment, or some sort of health issue that landed them as a rescue somewhere, or abuse. Several of them were considered rescues for no other reason then having difficult personalities. We (my family) took them in with the intention of giving them the life that they should have, spoiled, loved and well cared for. Each has been spayed or neutered, microchipped, and kept fully current with health care, shots, and grooming. But more
