242 January 26, 1981 There was discussion on the proposed road easement on one side of the proposed parcel of land. It was pointed out that in order to ensure proper setbacks, if and when a street is installed, Mr. Barrot will beed a 30' setback on the side yard. Mr. McLean was concerned that this split is just the first of a string of single lot splits on this land. He suggested that something that says this is the only split that will be allowed on this parcel - the remaining lands will have to be platted before any future building permits will be allowed. Mr. McLean moved to approve the variance for land of less than 22 acres with the net frontage of 175', owner must set home 30' from the West side lot line, Variance to Ord. #78 with a notation that no further lot splits will be allowed from this parcel until the land is platted. Seconded by Mrs. Elsenpeter. Mrs. Elsenpeter amended the motion to add 'money in lieu of land for park purposes, Mr. McLean accepted the amendment. Motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to approve the permit for the moving in of the house from Mound Trail to 795 Birch Street with the stipulations that insulation be installed to R38 and that repairs to the outside of the home be done per the Building Inspector. Se- conded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Henry Suchy had applied for a kennel license for the purpose of keeping three dogs. Mr. Schumacher reported that the Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval of this license with the stipulation that there will only be three dogs at that loca- tion with an amendment that Mr. Suchy be required to license the dogs. The provisions of the ordinances requiring any one with three dogs or more to ob- tain a kennel license was discussed as what the provisions of the ordinance regu- lating kennel license. Mr. Pete Nadeau, from the audience, felt that the Planning and Zoning Board had made up their minds before people were allowed to speak and he said he did not feel that the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation should be considered by this Council. He said the dogs bark all the time, particularly if someone in the neighborhood is outside their home. Mr. Suchy said he had two small house dogs and one large watch dog that is chained outside. He said he bought the large dog after he had been robbed. There was several persons who spoke from the audience on the nuisance they felt these dogs are creating. Both parties accused the other of allowing their dogs to run loose. Mr. Kulaszewicz pointed out this same situation has been before the Council on other occasions and this Council always hears that no dogs are running loose, but at each hearing both parties say the dogs are running loose. Mrs. Elsenpeter felt that this matter should be handled by the Police Department and the Animal Control and the only thing this Council should be considering is the application for the keeping of three dogs and she moved to allow Mr. Suchy to keep three dogs. Mayor Gourley asked for a second to the motion three times and the motion died for lack of a second. Mr. McLean moved to deny the request for a kennel license noting there is no state- ment of need for three dogs, no indication of this being a kennel facility - this is an application to keep an extra dog. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz.
