MacRannolds CUI' <br />April 21, 1999 <br />Page 3 <br />2 <br />� <br />� <br />S. <br />� <br />i <br />Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Sirace the Corrzpf•ehensive Plan does not add�ess o� even Yefer to dog ownet•ship, it can be <br />asserted ihat--in ter�rr�s of the comp plan--there is not adverse effect. <br />The geographical area involved. <br />The area surrounding Phe subject property is zoned for and supports residential uses. <br />Dog ownership is a common feature in reszdential districts and as such, it tivould appear <br />that this request would �tot be inconsrstent with ihis geographzcal area. <br />Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciatie the area in which it is proposed. <br />It is nvt incofzceivable to assume that ppoperty values may be affected by this request, in <br />that with dog ow�rership comes added r•esponsibilities crnd maintenance, not to mention <br />the possibilrty of barking dogs and dogs running loase in the neighbo�•hood.

While clinical studies have shown there to be <br />�acrny positive health effects jor� those people who own pets, in terms of a"community <br />need ", it is not applicable. <br />Public Safety <br />As has beera pointea' out in the peport already, Phe possible adverse effect which r�ay <br />cause the �zost impact to the neighborhood and suprounding cornmunity is the threcat to <br />�ublic safety. TheYe have been four incidents logged with the Police Depa�tme�at since <br />1992, one involving an attack by a Rottweiler. <br />CLTY" Criieria' The following are the criteria that are listed in Section 1125.01, Subdivision 3 of <br />the 1Vl�xnicipal Code, pertaining to Conditional Use Permits, with responses addressing each in <br />italics: <br />
