However, the City has adopted the MPCA standards and would be enforcing their code. <br />`-- The City Code is enforced by the City. <br />Mr. Selvestra stated the City Code has a mechanism to remedy noise issues but stated <br />Coon Hounds can be heard up to 5 miles. He moved here for peace and quiet. Mr. <br />Marohn explained that the Planning Commission administers the Land Use Code, <br />Chapter 17. The Police Department enforces Chapter 9. We have a noise standard and if <br />the property exceeds that standard it would be violating the Code and the permit would <br />be revoked. <br />Mr. Marohn stated that he is not an attorney, but if there were an ordinance amendment <br />pertaining to this, the ordinance in place at the time of the application would be applied. <br />Any subsequent application would fall under the new code. <br />Bonnie Olson, adjacent property owner, 31160 Eastwood Drive — She is a realtor. She <br />has a copy of the plat of Breezy Pines indicating 5 acre parcels. It is quiet. The map <br />from Google shows not very many woods and trees at the corners. Harly's house is 45 <br />feet away, very close. As a realtor the market values would go down; we don't want to <br />see our market values decrease. She looked at Northland Pet Lodge. There are <br />businesses on either side and within %2 t o 3/4 mile there are no residential properties <br />around it. There are commercial properties next door. <br />Harley Simchuck — the Pequot Lakes Minutes of February 17, 1998, Kennedy's request <br />\.1 for a CUP for a Vet Clinic. It was denied and should be in a zoned area and not in a <br />residential area. This has been at the Planning Commission before. <br />Chairman Woog stated that Planning Commission member Deb Brown was the applicant <br />for that CUP. She submitted a letter earlier. The location was on Government Drive and <br />East Sibley Street. Today's ordinance would not allow it in that location. She stated the <br />application was for a vet clinic, not a kennel. <br />Harly Simchuk — If you approve the kennel today, would you have to meet OSHA <br />requirements'. Mr. Marohn stated that OSHA would administer their requirements. Mr. <br />Simchuck stated the ASPCA is concerned about animals being alone at night. The <br />ASPCA is the cruelty society for animals. <br />Kevin Littman, 31177 Eastwood Drive — stated he lives due north of the property on Lot <br />3. He is concerned with loss of property values and dog barking issues. Conditions <br />could be set that will satisfy proper control of dog barking, but what is the mechanism? It <br />should be the applicant, not the neighbors. Property values would be reduced; where is <br />the proof that they will not be reduced? He works with decibel levels and has an <br />engineering degree. He can hear snowmobiles and car traffic and it is quick and gone. <br />What is the decibel level of dog barking? He would also like some information on item <br />B, the ordinance amendment to exclude dog boarding. Chairman Woog stated at the last <br />meeting when this application was denied, the Planning Commission directed Staff to <br />Minutes 4 <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />July 17, 2010 <br />
