Stevenson does training for hunting dogs, there is no use of firearms on the subject property and Mr. <br />Stevghson has also agreed not to use any starter pistols (training guns) on the property either. <br /> <br />Mr. Stevenson has stated that dogs would be boarded in the indoor kennel every nigh[. This facility does <br />have cement walls, which help soften any barking that may occur. However, Mr. Stevenson does also <br />have bark collars that can be utilized if the barking becomes an issue. Staff has checked with the Police <br />Department and there have been no complaints regarding dogs at the subject property. It should be noted <br />that Mr. Stevenson does not and will not provide any training of Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, or Doberman <br />Pinchers, on the property. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Mr. Stevenson's parents have two (2) small dogs that are kept in the house and Mr. Stevenson has two <br />(2) dogs that live with him in Anoka. So, at times, there would be a potential for eight (8) dogs on the <br />property. Therefore, the proposed conditional use permit specifies that it allows up to four (4) dogs, in <br />addition to the Stevensons' (both the applicant and his parents) personal dogs, to be trained/boarded on <br />the property at any time. <br /> <br />Staff has received a letter from a neighboring resident outlining some concerns regarding this request. <br />The proposed conditional use permit specifically addresses most of these concerns. City Staff <br />recommends approval of the request for a commercial dog kennel conditional use permit to allow for dog <br />obedience and hunting training on a residentially zoned property. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council adopt Findings of Fac~ relating to Jeff Stevenson's request <br />for a conditional use permit for a commercial dog kennel to provide dog obedience training at 8125 173rd <br />Ave NW. <br /> <br />-and- <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council approve Jeff Stevenson's request for a conditional use permit for <br />a commercial dog kennel to provide dog obedience training at 8125 173~d Ave NW, based on the findings <br />of fact. <br /> <br />-or- <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council deny Jeff Stevenson's request for a conditional use permit for a <br />commercial dog kennel to provide dog obedience training at 8125 173rd Ave NW, based on the findings <br />of fact. <br /> <br />Review Cheeldist: <br />Asst.
