of Mounds View Staff <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Administrator <br />Item No: 8B <br />Meeting Date: March 24, 2014 <br />Type of Business: CA <br />Administrator Review: <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8236, Approving a Residential Kennel License for Debra <br />Wysong located at 7063 Knollwood Drive in Mounds View <br />Background <br />Debra Wysong currently owns two dogs (Dachshund and a Chihuahua) located at 7063 <br />Knollwood Drive in Mounds View. Both dogs are licensed with the City in accordance <br />with the Mounds View City Code, and the property is currently fenced. Ms. Wysong will <br />soon be adopting a third dog, a male neutered Pit Bull, from a rescue organization. This <br />Pit Bull is currently in foster care in another location. According to Ms. Wysong, <br />adoption of this dog is contingent on receiving an approved Residential Kennel License <br />from the City. According to Section 701.04, subd. 8, it states: <br />a. Licensing requirements: The owner of a proposed dog kennel shall <br />submit a license application and present a petition to the Clerk/Administrator <br />signed by more than fifty percent (50%) of all registered landowners or those <br />occupying land within five hundred feet (500') of the proposed kennel who <br />agree to the establishment of the kennel. The petition shall contain, among <br />other items of information, the number and species of dogs intended to be <br />kept on the premises, whether the yard or kennel area is or will be fenced <br />and whether the dogs would be raised for breeding purposes. Upon the <br />receipt of the petition and license application, the Clerk/Administrator shall <br />present the petition and application to the City Council for their <br />consideration. (Ord. 696, 4-22-02; Ord. 774, 8-14-06) <br />Discussion <br />In the past, a Conditional Use Permit approval and a Public Hearing before the City <br />Council was required for a Residential Kennel License. This requirement was changed <br />when Ordinance 774 was passed on August 14, 2006, by the City Council. Residents <br />who wish to request a Residential Kennel License are now required to submit a petition <br />signed by more than fifty percent (50%) of all registered landowners or those occupying <br />the land within five hundred feet (500') who agree to the establishment of the kennel <br />and present the petition and application to Staff for City Council approval.
