-24O- <br /> <br />September 29, 2000 <br /> <br />Ramsey Planning Commission <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd., NW <br />Ramsey MN 55303 <br /> <br />/ n¥ 'cnrvnnl <br /> <br />Dear Pla}ming Commission Members, <br /> <br />In reference to the. request by Amy Ross for a Conditional Use Permit for a private dog kennel on <br />the property located at 8100 154t~ Avenue NW, we respectfully request the permit be denied. <br /> <br />As a pet owner and neighbor, we are aware of the large number of dogs already living in the area. <br />While her efforts to keep barking and waste under control are commendable, we don't feel those <br />are the only issues that will arise from having the extra dogs on her property. We don't support <br />the idea of having dogs debarked; we feet that is inhumane and a lazy approach to responsible pet <br />ownership and training. We also are concerned that owners of the visiting dogs will be opposed <br />to using bark collars and that will create problems in the future that we as neighbors will have to <br />live with. While excessive barking during the night hours is unlawful, excessive barking during the. <br />day is a headache. The letter we received also states nothing about whether there will be puppies <br />on the property. <br /> <br />And finally, while we believe Ms. Ross will do a good job of containing all the dogs on her <br />property, as a resident, she must be aware of the number of dogs that frequently run through our <br />neighborhood unleashed. They cause many problems for those of us who own dogs. Having <br />females in heat regularly on her property certainly can't make all these unwelcome visits from <br />loose dogs any better. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />Mar=a4'e {,g}{t Ed Church ' <br />8060 154 LN N-W <br />Ramsey M2N' 55303 <br /> <br /> <br />
