Mounds View Planning Commission April 6, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 4 ________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Klosman thought this would be a major flaw in the process if the permit went with the home and was allowed to go to another owner of the house. Planner Prososki stated the CUP does run with the property and they are working with the City Attorney to change this. Commissioner Miller stated she thought with some CUP’s it should run with the home, but in this case, it should not. Ms. Lorna Silver, 8386 Pleasant View Drive, stated she agreed with the noise issue. She stated another issue she has is a safety issue. She stated they have a lot of children in the area and it concerns her that a dog may get out of the yard. Ms. Patricia Robinson, 8360 Pleasant View Drive, stated her concern would be that once a dog starts barking, others follow throughout the neighborhood. She stated her concern was the permit would go with the property. Ms. Corinne Copeland, 8391Westwood Road, asked if the dogs would be outside at night. Mr. Klosman stated they would not be out at night. Ms. Julie Olson, 8350 Pleasant View Drive, stated she would not like to see the applicant get a permit and when they first moved in, the dogs would bark even when the neighbors would come home from work. She wondered if the permit could be conditional to allow a third dog until death and then it would go back to two. Mr. Michael Hemingway, 8389 Pleasant View Drive, thought the applicants would be conscientious dog owners and would bring the dogs in if they were barking. He was in opposition because of the precedence it might set. Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:25 p.m. Chair Stevenson stated they have approved and denied dog kennel licenses in the past and they have yet to see an approval trigger an increase in the amount of requests. He stated they have also denied dog kennels for the size of the lot and type of neighborhood. Commissioner Miller thought the fact that the applicants have a large lot is a plus and also with the neighbors having dogs, they would know about the barking and could take that into consideration because she was sure their dogs barked also. She thought the applicants had good control of the dogs. Commissioner Scotch stated that people are entitled to peace and quiet while living at their home. She wondered what happened on March 5, 2005 that triggered the police call. She would not like to see the applicant forced to get rid of one of their dogs.
