PLANNING & ZONING BOARD <br />NOVEMBER 8, 1995 <br />neighboring habitable dwelling and a minimum of <br />50 feet from the property line. <br />6) Change the proposed ordinance 502.6 Subdivision <br />3a (1), (2), and (3) to: To bark, bay, howl, or <br />make any loud noise; 1) between the hours of <br />8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.; or 2) consistently for <br />a period of five minutes or longer between the <br />hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. <br />Mr. Andre indicated there had been only one call <br />regarding cats in 1994 and only one thus far this year. <br />Mr. Darrell Cooper, a dog business owner indicated there <br />needs to be an updated ordinance. <br />Mr. Cooper suggested mandatory education of the owners <br />with licensing of animals. He felt this would decrease <br />the amount of money the City spends controlling animals. <br />Mr. Cooper also suggested the limit for dogs be three, <br />not necessarily a two species limit such as two dogs, one <br />cat per household. He noted there are many families who <br />wish to breed or have hunting dogs that would be in <br />violation if the two dog limit was upheld. <br />Ms. Dorothy Perkins of 1245 Main Street, felt the <br />proposed ordinance was good, but perhaps restricted the <br />private owner too much and encouraged kennels more. <br />Ms. Perkins also indicated she would not like the species <br />restricted, she would prefer to have three cats than two <br />and one dog. <br />Mr. Donald Dunn, indicated the proposed ordinance should <br />be reasonable, fair and enforceable. He felt the <br />ordinance should address nuisance even more <br />restrictively. He felt the non -animal owners should also <br />be protected. <br />Mr. Dunn felt the five acre limit for kennels is working <br />and encouraged the Board to stay with this limit. <br />Ms. Pam Lyons of 6339 Maple, indicated the City needs <br />guidelines to help enforce the ordinance. She did not <br />feel it was in the best interest of the City to reduce <br />the acreage requirement for kennels. <br />Mr. Mesich, who worked on the proposed ordinance, <br />indicated the committee reviewed ordinances used in <br />nearby communities and tried to draft an ordinance that <br />would work for Lino Lakes and be somewhat consistent with <br />the neighboring cities. <br />3 <br />
