Planning and Zoning August 8, 1984 Page Two •fer which he is considering. Mr. Erickson spoke from the audience verifying what Mr. Johnson had reported and urging the Board to limit the number of dogs to a minimum. Mrs. Erickson still had a concern regarding the liquids being washed down into a nearby pond. In discussing the issue the Board was refreshed in the facts that 1) a Conditional Use Permit goes with the land and thus could be misused in the future by a new owner, 2) there is an annual review of conditional use permits (usually in March or April per Mr. Kulaszewicz and Mr. Kluegel) which would be a poor time for a kennel license review, 3) the Council has the right to rescind the conditional use permit. Mr. Goldade reminded the Board that in the past they had discouraged some- one in a substandard lot in a rural area to operate for commercial purpose. Mr. Prokop asked if Mr. Johnson's venture was friendly or commercial, to which Mr. Johnson answered "friendly ". Mr. Cody moved to recommend to Council approval of the conditional use permit for Robert Johnson for a dog kennel located at 1900 P1oom Court, Lino Lakes as set forth in the application for consideration.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Doocy. Mr. Ostlie moved to include in Mr. Cody's motion a reviewal of the kennel conditional use permit at approximately August 1, 1985. Mr. Prokop seconded Mr. Ostlie's motion. Mr. Ostlie's motion carried. On voting on the original motion, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Johnson explained that he currently has ten dogs on his premises and since he has no neighbors yet, and he has promised to complete training for these customers' dogs, could the Board grant him a reasonable time (preferably September 1) to finish up and remove the dogs from the premises. The Board felt that Mr. Johnson was already in violation of the ordinance, Ilkbut since he appeared in good faith, and because the Council would not meet egarding his case until August 27, he could continue until September 1 status quo. Mr. Kulaszewicz expressed his opinion that the dog kennel ordinance was weak and the Board agreed saying that they would be setting a time to
