Case #6: Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Private Dog Kennel to Maintain More Than Two Adult Dogs on a Parcel; Case of Mark and Doni Heule Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that the City received an application from Mark and Doni Heule for a conditional use permit to maintain a maximum of eight (8) adult dogs on the property at 7262 - 162nd Lane NW. She reported that the subject property is approximately 3.9 acres in size and is zoned R-1 Rural Residential. The applicants have provided a site plan and text which indicates that they raise show dogs that reside in the home and are only let outdoors for exercise in a two-acre fenced yard. The dogs are not outdoors when no one is home, most of them have been surgically debarked, and generally, there are only six on the property at any given time as two of the eight are usually with the handler in Texas. Ms. Frolik noted that in addition to the existing fenced exercise yard, the Heule's proposed to install a privacy fence along the northwest comer and east line of the existing fence line to provide screening in addition to containment from the public road and adjacent neighbors to the east. The applicants are a veterinarian and veterinarian technician by profession. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on July 7, and the adjacent neighbors to the east expressed opposition to the request. The Planning Commission is recommending approval of the CUP request. The City Council/August 25, 1998 Page 14 of 26
