Attachments: Background: 1. Planning Application 2. Zoning Map 3. 500 Foot Map 4. Petition 5. Letter from Applicant 6. Resolution No. 562 -98 The applicant, Tammy Schmitt of 2206 Hillview Road, is applying for a conditional use permit for a residential dog kennel, a Code requirement for property owners with three or four dogs. One of the licensing requirements is that the property owner shall obtain signatures of approval from more than 50 percent of the residents within 500 feet of the property proposing the kennel. The applicant was sent a map showing those properties within 500 feet along with a corresponding list of property owners /taxpayers. Analysis: On the map staff sent to the applicant, 62 properties were highlighted, which means that 32 of the property owners would need to sign a petition in favor of the kennel application. The applicant collected signatures approving of the kennel request from 44 of the highlighted properties, well in excess of the required 32 signatures. The three properties adjacent to Ms. Schmitt, as well as those properties directly across the street, have indicated their approval of the application.
