As it is currently drafted, the ordinance would provide for a biennial license to maintain 3 <br />dogs on a parcel. Staff's choice for a 2 year license was intended to run concurrently <br />with the term of a City dog !icense, which is tied to the 2-year rabies vaccination. <br />However, the Planning Commission thought kennel licenses would be easier to track with <br />a simple 2-year expiration date from the time of granting the permit. In addition to all <br />dogs being currently licensed, which includes rabies vaccination by association, <br />additional criteria for an administrative kennel license include proper animal restraint, <br />placement of dog houses and kennel runs, regular removal of excrement, and any history <br />of dog nuisance complaints. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br />d) <br />e) <br /> <br />g) <br /> <br />Planning Commission meeting minutes dated March 16, 1999 <br />City Council meeting minutes dated April 13, 1999 <br />City Council meeting minutes dated April 27, 1999 <br />Planning Commission meeting minutes dated November 8, 1999 <br />Excerpt from Chapters 5 and 9 of the City Code showing the proposed <br />additions to text with underlines and deletions with strikethroughs. <br />Proposed ordinance to amend Chapter 5 <br />Proposed ordinance to amend Chapter'9 <br /> <br />In summary, these ordinances would retain 2 dogs as a permitted use, require an <br />administrative kennel license for 3 dogs, and a conditional use permit for 4 or more dogs. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Planning Commission and City Staff recommend approval of the ordinances as now <br />drafted. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council adopt Ordinance #99- to amend Chapter 5 of <br />the Ramsey City Code to establish and amend definitions relating to the keeping of dogs <br />and provide for administrative kennel licenses to keep 3 dogs on a parcel. <br /> <br />MOtion to recommend that City Council adopt Ordinance #99-. to amend Chapter 9 to <br />eliminate the definition of Dog Kennel from the Definitions section. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />Planning Consultant <br /> <br />CC: 11/23/99 <br /> <br /> <br />
