PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND Conditional Use Permit, Dog Kennel, 154 Pine Street - A request for a private dog kennel on a 10+ acre parcel of land in an area zoned Rural was considered by the Planning and Zoning Board. The applicant has four (4) dogs and a private kennel would be a conditional use in this area. Kennel Licenses are reviewed each year for compliance to the City Code and are not renewed if the City Council finds that maintenance of the kennel would be injurious to the public health, safety and welfare. The applicant has requested that he be allowed to keep his dogs in an invisible fence. Other surrounding communities have had no experience with this type of fence and the League of Minnesota Cities has no information on the subject. The Planning and Zoning Board moved to recommend approval of the request with the following conditions: 1. If a determination is made by the CSO Officer that the invisible fence does not operate properly, the owner will be notified and within 20 days must install rigid fencing. 2. This permit will be good for one year only and shall expire on May 1, 1995 at which time a new permit will be required if necessary. PAGE 3
