• DOG AND CAT ORDINANCE SURVEY <br /> (8/8/97) <br /> Cities Surveyed <br /> Shoreview Fridley Maplewood(fax) <br /> Columbia Heights Arden Hills(fax) White Bear Township(fax) <br /> Spring Lk Park Roseville(fax) White Bear Lake(fax) <br /> New Brighton Vadnais Heights(fax) <br /> Cities with the notation(fax) sent copies of their ordinance to us. <br /> 1. Maximum Number of Animals: The number of animals allowed before a special permit <br /> is required varied from 2 to 4 animals. One half of the cities surveyed referred only to <br /> dogs in regards to this limitation, while the other one half refers to the total number of <br /> animals, regardless of type. <br /> 2. Cat Ordinance: A large majority of the cities(8), require cats to be licenced. In <br /> addition, 5 cities have a lease-law for cats and the remaining cities have an ordinance <br /> which forbids any animal to run free within the city limits. <br /> • 3. Kennels: <br /> A. Cannot be a nuisance of any sort: noise, odor, etc.. <br /> B. May be inspected at time of application to observe how the applicant will conform to <br /> the above requirements, as well as be inspected by the city at any reasonable time <br /> thereafter. <br /> C. Must provide adequate room for the animals at all times, including room to exercise. <br /> D. Lot Size: 5 of the cities specified minimum size requirements. These varied from a <br /> minimum lot size of 1 acre, to the applicants lot lines having to be 150-300 feet from <br /> all neighboring residents homes. These cities also offer an alternative to this <br /> requirement, which is, signed permission by 50-75% of all property owners whose <br /> property abuts the applicants, or whose home is within the 150-300 foot distance <br /> requirement. <br /> Commercial Kennels <br /> I called several commercial kennels listed in the yellow pages and found the following: <br /> 1. Space provided per animal varied from 3 foot by 3 foot to 4 foot by 8 foot indoor fenced- <br /> in areas. Outdoor space varied from 4 foot by 4 foot to 5 foot by 14 foot fenced-in areas. <br /> Some kennels provided only indoor units and so they provided 20 foot outdoor runs. <br /> • Some kennels have only indoor units, and so 20 foot enclosed runs to periodically exercise <br /> the animals are provided. <br />
