Rick Wyatt, 7515 Knollwood Drive, stated he has never had a complaint with the applicant but has to listen to the Rottweiler barking if his wife sits on the back deck, or if they walk in the back • yard. He stated he yells loudly at the dog and it walks away but his wife does not do that and she shouldn't have to. He advised the Great Dane can look over the fence and the applicant's back yard is not that large considering it contains a deck and pool along with the dogs. Mr. Wyatt stated that it is not right for the dogs or neighborhood. David Porter, applicant's son, requested that his last name be corrected in the Planning Commission meeting minutes where it incorrectly is reflected as "MacRannolds." He advised of the height of the fence, lowest and highest, and the height of the dogs. Mr. Porter stated they will work to clean the back yard to address the complaint of smell. There being no further comments, Mayor Coughlin closed the public hearing at 7:58 P.M. and reopened the regular meeting. Mayor Coughlin noted the petition supporting denial which was submitted and signed by 33 signatures. Council Member Thomason asked if the petitioner did submit the required number of signatures to support her request. Mr. Ericson stated the petition did not contain the required number of signatures. He stated that he sent a letter to the applicant advising her of that issue after the Planning Commission meeting and staff has not received additional signatures to add to the • petition. Mayor Coughlin noted the staff and Planning Commission recommendations for denial. Council Member Stigney stated there was a lot of public input received at the Planning Commission meeting and the neighborhood has spoken strongly in support of denial. He commented he hopes some consideration is given to provide a reasonable time period for the applicant to comply. MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Coughlin. To adopt Resolution 5297, a Resolution Denying a Conditional Use Permit for a Residential Dog Kennel for Andrea MacRannolds, 2841 Bronson Drive; Mounds View Planning Case No. 547-99, based on public input received at the Planning Commission and lack of required signatures. Planning Associate Ericson noted the proposed resolution requires two dogs to be removed within one week of adoption or the Animal Control Officer will do so at the applicant's expense. He stated the Council can reconsider the one week time restriction if they feel that is appropriate. Council Member Stigney asked the residents if they would support an extension to 30 days. • 9N:\DATA\USERS\JOANB\SHARE\MINUTES\CC\1999\04-26-99.WPD
