Commercial Boarding or Kenneling of Domestic Animals
Mr. Dempsey provided an overview of the current Zoning Ordinance requirements
pertaining to the boarding or kennelling of domestic animals as outlined in his planning
st
memo dated February 1. He described the research he conducted, and the issues that
were raised, at a similar facility located in Apple Valley.
Mr. Boldenow and Mr. Pannuk described their proposed use and how they believe their
proposed location at 16320 Kenrick Loop would be ideal. The following was discussed:
The Planning Commission asked for clarification on the number of kennels
proposed by the applicants and the Zoning Ordinance parking requirements (are
they similar the requirements for a commercial day care use?).
The Planning Commission discussed changing the number of dogs allowed to a
square foot/dog ratio based on the indoor play area and kennel area.
Animal waste handling, disposal, pickup service, containment of waste drainage
and odors, and cleaning of the outdoor run area was discussed at length.
Connection of the outdoor play area to City sanitary sewer or allowing the animal
waste to drain into the storm sewer was discussed (staff does not support using
the storm sewer system for handing animal wastes).
The Planning Commission expressed concerns about noise mitigation from
indoor and outdoor areas to adjacent properties.
Minimum and maximum size and screening of the outdoor play area was
discussed.
Comparison of the commercial district and industrial district animal kennelling
performance standards was discussed.
Consider including standards from the State of Minnesota Animal Welfare.
