Comment: The proposed use for the property is inconsistent by allowing what is an accessory structure be
<br />now classified as a primary structure, in addition to have inconsistent, multiple uses on the
<br />property. Rental (home) and dog grooming and boarding in the same building (shed).
<br />18. Animal Unit. A unit of measure based on the approximate production of wastes from 1000 pounds of live
<br />weight of poultry or animals.
<br />Animal Units:
<br />One (1) slaughter weight steer or heifer 1
<br />One (1) mature dairy cow or horse 1.4
<br />One (1) swine over 55 pounds 0.4
<br />One (1) sheep 0.1
<br />One (1) goose 0.1
<br />One (1) duck 0.05
<br />One (1) turkey 0.18
<br />One (1) chicken 0.1
<br />Comment: Rural Residential allowable animal unit is 0.5 animal units per acre. Using extrapolation, rural
<br />residential residents of 5 acres can have approximately 3 dogs at approximately 50 pounds
<br />each, or about 3 swine. 25 -30 dogs is inconsistent with the standard. 30 dogs could reasonable
<br />produce 3x the waste of 1 steer.

<br />execution.
<br />66. Conditional Use. A land use or development as defined by the Ordinance that would not be appropriate
<br />without restriction, but may specifically be allowed without restrictions of conditions as determined by the
<br />Planning Commission and the Council upon a finding that (a) the use or development is an appropriate conditional
<br />land use in the land use zone, (b) the use or development, with conditions, conforms to the comprehensive land
<br />use plan, (c) the use, with conditions, is compatible with the existing neighborhood and (d) the use, with
<br />conditions, would not be injurious to the public health, safety, welfare, morals, order, comfort, convenience,
<br />appearance or prosperity of the City.

<br />Comment. The proposed kennel is proposing to change the intended accessory structure into the primary
<br />structure. The home, or intended primary structure, would then be classified as the accessory
<br />structure, or now a rented guest quarters wherein the provisions required above are
<br />inconsistent with the intent of the Code.
