Application

This is a newly blended family, just married.  they are combining their family of dogs; because of this, they will be over the limit of dogs allowed without a Kennel License.

The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a personal dog kennel with six (6) dogs in the A-2 Zone.

This couple is a blended family having recently married in 2018; in February 2018 Mrs. Millers younger sister passed away unexpectedly and she inherited a rescued mix breed dog from her, making her menagerie four dogs, a twelve-year-old golden retriever, two mini long hair dachshund’s and her sister’s dog along with her new husband’s retriever mix made a total of five dogs.

In August of 2018 Mr. Miller was made aware of a large dog chained to a parked motor home in a mechanic’s repair shop not able to move very much on his chain, this dog was unwanted and may have been taken to the Animal Shelter however in his emaciated state would have certainly been euthanized, he is a Great Pyrenees. As it turns out it was very fortunate for this dog that he was rescued from this situation, as a few weeks later the motor home was on the local news station having burned to the ground; the dog would have most certainly been burned as well, as he was chained to the vehicle. All of the Millers dogs are spayed or neutered depending on the gender and are all up to date on their vaccinations. These animals are all very loved and pampered going to the groomers on a regular basis. The area directly outside the back door is a courtyard approximately 25’ by 25’ which is completely fenced with an eight (8) foot fence, the animals use this area mostly at night and in the cold weather, they are contained in the house. The dog’s excrement is picked up daily and doubled bagged and disposed of and removed by a waste removal company once a week.
