The ordinance <br />defines a private kennel as any premise where more than six domestic <br />animal units over the age of six months, are harbored or kept. <br /> <br />Domestic animal unit is a unit of measure for domestic animals. Domestic animals under 20 pounds, at full <br />maturity, count as one (1) animal unit and domestic animals 20 pounds and over, at full maturity, count as two (2) <br />animal units. <br /> <br />The applicant who was assisting a family member ended up obtaining the fourth dog and is now seeking a CUP to <br />allow 8 animal units (four dogs) on the subject parcel. They have four dogs: three labs and one German shepherd. <br />Based on their weight, each dog counts as two animal units. <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br /> <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br /> Updated: August 2020 <br />
