Councilmember Connolly clarified that there would only be four to six days a month that she <br />would have six dogs. <br /> <br />Ms. Ross replied yes. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen inquired if Ms. Ross was proposing to keep the dogs in a kennel <br />outside rather than havi~g the entire yard fenced. <br /> <br />Ms. Ross explained that there is a 6 foot by 24 foot kennel attached to the garage that two of the <br />dogs would be kept in when she is not home and when she is home, she would have the dogs out <br />in the fenced yard. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated that his neighbor has shelties and 10 years ago he would have <br />thought someone can put up with a dog barking once in a while, but when you are working in a <br />yard and all the dogs do is bark, they can drive you crazy. In his situation he has chosen to live <br />with it, but if they are going to grant a conditional use permit they should include language that is <br />strong enough to handle the situation when dogs are running up to the property line and <br />becoming a nuisance. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec inquired as to what the procedure would be if the City does receive several <br />warranted complaints. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that within the Zoning Code there is a procedure for revoking the <br />conditional use permit if the conditions are not complied with. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen replied that he felt the wording should be stronger. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that whenever a permit is issued, the City should be able to take faster <br />action. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that the language that is included in the conditional use permit <br />would allow for a very lengthy process. He indicated that there may be better language, but <br />would need more time to research the appropriate language. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that on other cases he has Voted against any application <br />where there has been neighbors opposed to the request and does not see how he could vote for <br />this request. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson inquired if Ms. Ross has sought out the opinion of the immediate <br />neighbors regarding the request. <br /> <br />Ms. Ross replied that she has talked to all her immediate neighbors and all of them were very <br />nice about the issue. <br /> <br />City Council/October 24, 2000 <br /> Page 16 of 31 <br /> <br /> <br />
