RAY PELTIER - Special Use Permit
Mr. Spitzer read letter from the City Attorney. The Planning
Commission felt that this apartment was not utilized as a dwelling
unit within the last 24 months, and that Special Use Permits cannot
be granted for any items such as this.
Motion made by Ehret, seconded by Johnson, recommending denial of
this Special Use Permit on the grounds that the application for
the permit is improper in the attorneys opinion dated March 3, 1975,
and recommend that the City Clerk refund the filing fee.

carried.
NORMAN ROGSTAD - VARIANCE FOR DOG KENNEL
Mr. Rogstad stated that he has six remaining dogs aged 7 through 13
years which he would like to keep until they die. He no longer breeds
and sells dogs. Mr. Rogstad was told by the Police Chief that he would
have to get rid of the dogs. Apparently there had been a complaint
from one of his neighbors about the dogs barking.
Mr. Spitzer asked Mr. Rogstad if he could prove that these dogs were
in existence as of a year ago December. Mr. Rogstad stated that he
could prove they were by Veterinary records. Mr. Spitzer explained
that the dogs were grandfathered in but he cannot intensify the number
or if one dies, reintensify. He also explained that he was subject to
the Nuisance Ordinance which the Planning Commission has no control
over.
Motion made by Peloquin, seconded by Ehret, recommending that the
City Council order the Zoning Administrator to issue a Certificate
of Occupancy for lawful nonconforming use to Mr. Norman Rogstad at
6021 165th Street North for the purpose of kenneling two (2) dogs
more than permitted in the Ordinance with the express understanding
that this certificate shall expire upon the demise of the excess dogs
or five years, which ever shall first occur.
Members for: Peloquin, Peltier, Spitzer, Johnson and Ehret. Motion
carried.
