Item No. 08F Type of Business: CA Meeting Date: September 24, 2007 City Administrator Review: _____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Desaree Crane, Assistant to the City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7162 Authorizing a Residential Kennel License located at 2757 Sherwood Road for Jason and Rebekah Brandvold Background Mr. and Mrs. Brandvold currently own two dogs (Terrier and a Sheppard Mix) at their residence located at 2757 Sherwood Road in Mounds View. Both dogs are licensed with the City in accordance with the Mounds View City Code and the property is currently fenced. Mr. and Mrs. Brandvold are seriously considering purchasing another puppy, a Corgi breed, and are requesting a Residential Kennel License prior to purchasing the new dog. According to Section 701.04, subd. 8, it states: a. Licensing requirements: The owner of a proposed dog kennel shall submit a license application and present a petition to the Clerk/Administrator signed by more than fifty percent (50%) of all registered landowners or those occupying land within five hundred feet (500’) of the proposed kennel who agree to the establishment of the kennel. The petition shall contain, among other items of information, the number and species of dogs intended to be kept on the premises, whether the yard or kennel area is or will be fenced and whether the dogs would be raised for breeding purposes. Upon the receipt of the petition and license application, the Clerk/Administrator shall present the petition and application to the City Council for their consideration. (Ord. 696, 4-22-02; Ord. 774, 8-14-06) Discussion In the past, a Conditional Use Permit approval and a Public Hearing before the City Council was required for a Residential Kennel License. This requirement was changed when Ordinance 774 was passed on August 14, 2006, by the City Council. Residents who wish to request a Residential Kennel License are now required to submit a petition signed by more than fifty percent (50%) of all registered landowners or those occupying the land within five hundred feet (500’) who agree to the establishment of the kennel and present the petition and application for City Council approval. There is no longer a requirement for a resident to go through the Conditional Use Permit and Public Hearing process. Attached are the application materials and petition signed by residents (petition received on September 14, 2007) within a 500 feet radius of 2757 Sherwood Road. Mr. and Mrs. Brandvold’s petition was verified by staff, and they meet the requirements of the City
