Conditional Use Permit for Dog Kennel at 17860 Nowthen Blvd NW, Ramsey MN — Rebecca Bader and Brandon McManigle Contact information: By phone: 262-339-0355 (preferred) By email: rcbader@gmail.com Overview Our Dog Kennel business for this property will be for boarding dogs. The intent of this business is to be family -friendly and convenient, and to allow individualized attention and care of dogs on a smaller scale while dog owners are away. Our vision is to minimize impact to the surrounding properties and the community, while providing a service to the city of Ramsey. There will be no breeding of dogs with the business. Boarding will be offered 365 days per year, using the accessory building located on the property. We will insulate, heat, and cool the building. We will install a large fenced in area for dogs to play. The dogs will have play time outside and rest time inside the building. The dogs will always be supervised when outside of the building. The dogs will be restrained on a leash when not in the building and when not in the fenced in play area. The dogs will be contained inside the building through the night, between the hours of 9 pm and 7 am. Playtime for the dogs will be in 2 hour time periods approximately twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon. The dogs will be supervised throughout this play time. Noises will be minimized to the extent possible with the building and the fenced in area. Any dogs that bark or howl to a large extent when outdoors will not be allowed outside for play time, but will be supervised outside with enough time to meet their elimination needs. Dogs will not be permitted to run at large.
