• <br />• <br />PLANNING & ZONING BOARD <br />MARCH 13, 1996 <br />Mr. Gelbmann expressed concern that owners of a private kennel would <br />breed one dog every year and keep the litters. <br />Mr. Mesich stated this was not an option. The Conditional Use Permit <br />would limit the number of animals allowed. <br />Mr. Gelbmann stated he would like to see a limit on the number of <br />animals allowed included in the ordinance. <br />Mr. Mesich noted there were other restrictions stated in the ordinance <br />which would result in violation such as the kennel being kept properly. <br />Ms. Wyland noted the Conditional Use Permit also included an annual <br />review process. Other items have been included in previous Conditional <br />Use Permits such as restrictions that when one dog expired, it could not <br />be replaced with another. <br />Mr. Herr stated he saw a problem with an unspecified number of dogs <br />being allowed in a private kennel. <br />Mr. Gelbmann noted there could be situations where a resident would <br />want to have more dogs, such as raising dogs for dog sledding. But he <br />agreed that he would like to see a maximum number of dogs allowed <br />with flexibility for persons with special circumstances. <br />Mr. Mesich stated he felt the problem in Lino Lakes was not with people <br />with more than one dog but was with people who owned one dog and <br />were not responsible. <br />Mr. Herr stated he would like to see six dogs specified as the maximum <br />unless there was a reason for exception. <br />Ms. Wyland stated the reason the number had been eliminated was that <br />the Committee could not agree on a certain number. They then decided <br />the Conditional Use Permit was appropriate to determine the number <br />allowable. <br />Officer Kenow stated she felt the proposed ordinance would allow for <br />better enforcement in the field. <br />19 <br />
