Mounds View Planning Commission August 18, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />4. Citizens Requests and Comments on Items Not on the Agenda <br /> <br />None. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />5. Planning Case CU2004-004, Wayne Seehafer CUP for Dog Kennel 8009 Red Oak <br />Drive <br /> <br />Planner Prososki explained that this request is for a residential dog kennel at 8009 Red Oak <br />Drive and it would allow between 3 and 4 adult dogs on the property. She then indicated that the <br />property owner would be required to obtain an annual kennel license from the City and noted <br />that as part of the requirements he had to obtain signatures from 50% of the property owners <br />within 500 feet of the applicant’s property and he has done that. <br /> <br />Planner Prososki indicated that Staff had contacted the Police Department and there have been <br />no complaints at the applicant’s property during the time that he has lived there. <br /> <br />Planner Prososki indicated that this request is not inconsistent with the City’s criteria and, based <br />on past record, it does not appear that it would adversely affect the neighbors. She then <br />explained that Staff received one call from a neighbor to ask if Olde English Bulldogs are the <br />same as a Pit Bull but, upon conducting research, determined that they are two separate breeds of <br />dog. <br /> <br />Wayne Seehafer addressed the Commission and explained that he is looking to start a small <br />breeding program as a hobby and plans on having one or two litters per year. He then said that <br />he has always had a couple of dogs and there have been no issues with the neighbors. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller asked how many pups would be in a litter. <br /> <br />Mr. Seehafer indicated that the average is approximately six (6) puppies per litter. <br /> <br />Commissioner Scotch asked if the dogs are kept inside most of the time. <br /> <br />Mr. Seehafer indicated that the dogs go outside when he goes to work. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland asked when the pups would be sold. <br /> <br />Mr. Seehafer indicated the puppies would be sold at approximately eight weeks of age. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked how big the adult dogs are. <br /> <br />Mr. Seehafer estimated that males weigh around 70 pounds. <br /> <br />Commissioner Scotch asked how many dogs would be on site at one time. <br />
