• Planning and Zoning Board July 11, 1984 Mr. Kluegel was directed to collect information on how other cities have handled road width issues of this kind. Mr. Doocy asked that Mr. Volk make a recommendation based upon the public works viewpoint. It was agreed that the City Engineer should be present when this item it brought up at the next meeting. Mr. Bruggeman had a concern that he may be out -of -town and unavailable for the next meeting of P & Z and if that were the case he was told that this item would be handled at the September meeting. Mr. Bruggeman was told that he would have to contact Mr. Kluegel at least ten (10) days in advance of the next scheduled regular meeting of the P & Z should he be unable to attend. At this time, the Chairman called a five minute recess and mentioned that a work session of the P & Z would take place two weeks from tonight at his home to work on the sign ordinance. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - DOG KENNEL - BOB JOHNSON Mr. Johnson spoke to the Board relating his purpose in a request for a dog kennel on his 1 acre property. He explained that he has written permission from adjacent property owners to cross and /or mow and use these properties for the purpose of training his and his customers' dogs. Per Mr. Johnson, permission has been given by Mr. Cardinal and Mr. Hansen. The request is for 12 retrievers to be kept on his property between May 1 and September 1. He said he does this as a hobby rather than as a profiting venture as a means of developing his own reputation as a trainer. He explained that the Lino Lakes area is very conducive to water retrieval training due to the geography of the land and the lakes and marshlands. He feels that his neighbors are supportive, despite an anonymous complaint of noise and that his dogs are in his control when not caged. He explained that the waste is removed and sent off with his weekly garbage pick -up and the kennels are washed down into a crude 'septic' system. Mr. Cody asked if Mr. Johnson would be willing to compromise to 6 dogs at a time - four of his own and two customers' and Mr. Johnson said he would be willing to make that compromise. Mr. Erickson from the audience spoke to the Board as a concerned land owner near the Johnson property. He felt that there is a potential problem (noise, waste, visual) and he will soon be building on these nearby lots. Mr. Johnson said he would do landscaping (screening) to help compromise or relocate the kennels in order to solve any problem of this type. He invited Mr. Erickson to come and see his kennel and the layout, etc. Mr. Cody moved to table Mr. Robert C. Johnson's application for a conditional use permit for setting up a dog kennel pending a revision of the site plan and hopefully some type of negotiation with Mr. Erickson relative to placement of prospective kennel. Seconded by Mrs. Klaus. Motion carried.
