Planning Commission Page 3 June 22,2021 when the dogs are outside in the chain link fenced back yard, she is always with them, and they are let outside as needed. Commissioner Beise asked how long she had been operating her business. Ms. Knebel stated she opened in September 2020. Commissioner Rydberg asked if in a day, could she have 3 dogs overnight in addition to dogs being groomed. Ms. Knebel stated she only takes one dog at a time to groom so she could have 6 dogs maximum,including her 3 pets. Commissioner Jordan asked about the proposed number of vehicles in a given day. Ms. Knebel stated 1 car would be in the neighborhood at a time and not a lot of cars overlapping. She explained 1 car would drop off an animal at 8:00 am and pick up a few hours later. She says it takes between 2-3 hours to groom an animal depending on size. Another car would drop off an animal after that and then pick up a few hours later. She stated they recently constructed a pole building on her property and their vehicles will be garaged in it,but the pole barn was not for her business,it was for her husband. Commissioner Feinstein noted the hours of operation were in the staff report. Commissioner Beise stated if the commission were going to recommend approval of the CUP that they add a condition that 11 animals units total were allowed on the property: 3 animals units to own,no more than 7 animal units allowed to board, allow 1 animal unit for grooming. Councilmember Beyer noted the CUP goes with the property unless the use discontinues for six months. Commissioner Rydberg asked how about Condition 5 came about where 2 dogs allowed per supervisor. Mr. Leeseberg stated they typically add that language to the CUP conditions so someone is not walking too many dogs outside the property where they could become out of control. Commissioner Johnson stated he was not too concerned with traffic counts as he has two teenagers who generate more trips. He stated setting guidelines for animal units,waste pickup, and inspections is good to have in place and is more restrictive than what residents are currently allowed with their own pets on their property. He felt there was more control with the CUP and would be recommending approval of the CUP. tTh Commissioner Jordan asked about noise ordinances and complaints. 1OIERE1 IT NATUREI
