REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br /> <br /> I. 9340 NW Highway l0 Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> 2. PropertyID# 19333631004 <br />3. Dennis & Bonita Cobey 9340 NW Highway 10 Ramsey, MN 55303 612-427-3390 <br />4. Bonita Cobey 9340 NW Highway 10 Ramsey, ~ 55303 612-427-3390 <br /> 5. I am requesting a Conditional use Permit to run a eattery out of my home. I raise/breed <br /> Persian and Himilayan cats. My eattery meets/exceeds all requirements put forth by the Cat <br /> Fancier's Association, the largest association of it's kind in the world. CFA requirements are <br /> quite rigid, as you can see by the attached (Article 1). I also have applied for Cattery of <br /> Excellence. I work very closely with Dr. mark Guck of Rum River Vet Clinic in Anoka, as <br /> he advises and supervises much of my business. A letter fi.om Dr. Guck is attached (Article <br /> 2). The eattery has 12 cages, the quarantine room will have 6 cages. Although I only have 6 <br /> cats at this time, I plan to eventually have ail cages filled, Size of cages, construction <br /> material used, heat, water, food and lighting description can all be found in attached (Articles <br /> 3 & 4). I know many people have eatteries, or raise kittens, in their homes without permits <br /> and there are no problems/concerns for the health of the animals or any disruption to traffic <br /> or neighbors. I only recently learned there even was such a thing as a Conditional Use permit <br /> and am applying, even though my catte..ry is already built, because I want to make sure that I <br /> am within city guidelines. .. <br /> 6. The present zoning is for residential/commercial. <br />7. Our home is 4,600 square feet total. The cattery consists of 300 sq i~ and the quarantine <br /> room will be 50 sq ft. These dimensions comply with your 20% sq footage guidelines. Total <br /> usage = 350 sq ft. Attached (Article 5) is a description of our property as well as pictures <br /> showing the property, driveway, parking area, etc. Because only 1 or 2 cars would ever be <br /> here at the same time, parking is not an issue. A loading zone is not an issue since only small <br /> deliveries of supplies are received at any one time, no special loading zone is needed. <br /> Storage of ail supplies is in a special, separate supply room within the cattery. Screening, <br /> fencing, accessory structures and location of all utilities are not applicable to this operation. I <br /> would like to eventually put a sign on the property, but will certainly do so within city <br /> guidelines. <br />8. Drainage is only of water and shampoo and is handled through the home drainage system. <br />9. Access to site is via our driveway to our home. We have a separate stairway from the <br /> attached garage to the basement to the eatery. This stairway is easily accessible with a wide <br /> stairwell and hand railings. Although the cattery is not handicap accessible, a kitten for <br /> viewing is easily carried upstaks into my home. <br />10. All garbage, waste doesn't amount to much and is included with our home garbage. We <br /> called the Humane Society to confirm that no special containers are needed. No hazardous <br /> waste is used in the operation. <br />11. Description of construction and materials are in Article 3. <br />12. We only have 1 neighbor, and they have given us their blessing. (Article 6) <br />13. There will be no effect on area traffic. <br /> <br />/¢ <br /> <br /> <br />
