Case #I: Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Private Dog Kennel to Maintain More than Two Adult Dogs on a Pared; Case of Dennis and Bonita Cobey Planning Consultant Scazlo stated that on October 18, 1999, the City received an application from Dennis and Bonita Cobey for a private kennel conditional use permit to maintain a maximum of four adult dogs on the property at 9340 Highway #10 N.W. The property is zoned B~I Business but is subject to residential zoning regulations because the principal use of the property is residential. The adjacent property to the east is State Wayside Park and the property to the west and on the north side of Highway #10 is also zoned B-1 Business. The subject property is approximately four acres in size. Dennis and Bonita Cobey currently have one Mastiff, two Chows, and one Shit-zu. Because the property is so isolated and adjacent to Wayside park they desire this number of dogs for protection and security purposes. The Council granted the Cobey's a home occupational commercial permit for a cattery in May. However, they have stated that they do not intend to conduct any commercial activities such as breeding, selling, training, or boarding of dogs. Dennis Cobey, 9340 Highway #10 N.W., Ramsey, noted that three of the dogs are outside and one is inside. He stated that they have no intention of breeding or raising dogs. Motion by Councilmember Connotly, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to adopt Resolution #99-11-212 adopting Findings of Fact #0508 relating to Dennis and Bonita Cobey's request for a conditional use permit for a private dog kennel for four adult dogs.
