8. Interim Use Permit for Domesticated Wild Foxes
Mikayla Raines requested Council approval of an interim use permit to allow the keeping of
up to three foxes on 10 acres of property located at 12110 - 2101 Street W. Sandy Raines
provided copies of several letters and emails in support of her daughter's request.
Mr. Morey explained that the property is zoned Rural/Agricultural District, which allows the
keeping of horses and other farm animals. Foxes are considered domesticated wild animals
and are not allowed except by interim use permit. The interim use permit process allows the
City to measure and mitigate potential impacts posed by the request, as well as to adopt
reasonable stipulations and a sunset date on the use, which is not an option available with
permitted or conditional uses. He stated the foxes on Ms. Raines' property are housed in a
kennel attached to a separate accessory structure, which meets the performance standards of
the zoning ordinance. A DNR permit is contingent upon City Council approval of the
interim use permit. Staff recommends approval of an interim use permit to allow the keeping
of up to three foxes on this 10 -acre parcel of property subject to seven stipulations.
As requested by the City Council at its March 21St meeting, the Planning Commission will
continue to discuss the provisions in the zoning ordinance regarding the keeping of animals
not defined as farm animals or household pets. The Planning Commission will also review
the current definition of household pets.
Motion was made by Davis, seconded by Anderson, to approve findings of fact and an interim
use permit for Mikayla Raines to allow the keeping of up to three foxes at 12110 - 210th St. W.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Swecker, Anderson, LaBeau, Davis, Little
