`-- Kevin Littman—Breezy Pines does have covenants that include something about split <br /> use. He uses his property to sit outside. <br /> Karen Ettesvold—She has a home in Pequot Lakes. She needed to get a CUP for a <br /> beauty shop and it has worked out well. Some of her neighbors were concerned because <br /> of traffic; conditions were included on the number of cars parked there. It has worked <br /> out fine. She would like them to have a chance to prove it will work. <br /> Public Comment closed. <br /> Mr. Hallan stated that he did not attend the meeting last month. We all make judgments <br /> on personal experiences. The kennel where he boards his dogs only accepts dogs from 8 <br /> AM to 9 AM and 3 PM to 4 PM. The dogs are kept inside and are taken out individually <br /> or his two dogs together. We need to be cognizant of the neighbors. He is concerned <br /> with the hours. Will dogs come and go anytime during that stretch? <br /> Mr. Garland stated that the hours may vary;there may be certain times for drop off and <br /> the same thing at night. <br /> Mr. Adams stated people could possibly drop off between 7:30 and 9 and pick up <br /> between 4 and 6. <br /> `., Mr. Garland stated it would be based on clientele. <br /> Mr. Marohn asked Mr. Garland to explain the use of the outside fenced area. Mr. <br /> Garland stated there would never be 25 dogs outside at one time. It would depend on the <br /> dogs,probably 4 to 5 with a staff person outside. At no time would any dogs be outside <br /> by themselves; it would time to socialize and play, not just to potty. It would be a playful <br /> time with slides,tunnels and balls. They will be hiring staff to play with the animals. <br /> They would take 4 or 5 out for about an hour;then another group would go out. It is hard <br /> to speculate that all 25 dogs would be boarded. <br /> LaRee Garland stated at the Pet Parade there were 45 dogs and there was hardly any <br /> barking. People were controlling them. That is the situation we will create. Someone <br /> will be with them to "make sure they are acting in an appropriate way. <br /> Mr. Hallan stated regarding Karen Ettesvold's CUP,that was for a Home Occupation. <br /> This is an independent use. <br /> Mr. Adams stated that yesterday he and Mr. Habein drove over to Crosslake to Northland <br /> Pet Lodge referred to earlier. They talked to the owners and they can accommodate up to <br /> 75 dogs. As they were standing outside the door they could hear no sound coming out of <br /> the building. Once inside, in the boarding area the dogs were barking. Externally you <br /> could hear nothing 2 feet from the door. From the time of 10 PM and 6 AM there will be <br /> no disturbance to surrounding properties. Building is largely soundproof and air <br /> Minutes 6 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> July 17, 2010 <br />
