Mr. Wolf stated. what his intentions are, to put the kennel in the tuck-under garage instead of an accessory boiling.. . Chair accepted a letter presented by Mr. Leonard Tuma on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. John Raplinger recommending denial of this rezoning. Chairman Grohoski read the letter, which has been. attached hereto. Mr. Leonard Tumor, who lives across the road from Mr. Wolf, stated that the Wolf residence is in direct line with his house and that the naise from the dogs and loud music is bothersome to them and he requests that we deny this appiication for rezoning. Mrs. Betty Tuma wants to throw the ball back in the council's lap, feels people are just not aware of what the restrictions are and feels we should spend some money to let people know what should and should not be allowed in the. different areas. She. feels council and commission members are negligent in their duties. Chairman Grohoski said that the ordinances are always published when they are made or changed and he feels that. the citizens have to ask questions to find out. what is or is not required. He went on to say that he feels that we are, as commission members., not~.negligent in our duties and feels had when someone says we are. Mr. Wolf stated that he would do whatever is necessary to cut down the noise,. as long as he is aware there is a problem. Chairman Grohoski had the. following .three points to make: 1. He does not have a problem with rezoning since it is a downzoning. 2. The number of dogs,_23 dogs in the house? In a single garage? He .would request. that a number be imposed, something less that they have now. -3- Lakeville, Minnesota Planning Commiss.~.on Meeting • August 4, 1983 3. The concern mentioned by Mr. Tuma regarding the auto body busines occurring out there -how many collector. type vehicles parked there not. owned. by the Wolf's?

Ro11_call was. taken on the mo ion. Ayes: Unanimous Sizer explained. he would abstain from voting because of his close work with Mr. Wolf in the.. past. 83.138 Motion was made. by Rice, seconded by Geisness, to recommend to the City Council denial of the rezoning request from R-1 to R-A for Mr. Nicholas Wolf on the grounds that it is individual zoning and it should not be considered with a piece of property going to R-A. Roll call. was taken on the motion. Ayes: Geisness, Miller, Rice. Nay; Grohoski. Abstain: Sizer . Mr. Grohoski's nay was because he does not feel that the. downzoning from R-1 to R-A violates the personal protection of the health, safety and welfare of the community as a whole in this case and that action in itself would not adversely affect. the City. Geisness voted yes because he feels as long as we have R-1 District, with neighbors, that even if we had approved the R-A zoning, he would not vote in favor of allowing a dog kennel being in a neighborhood. He doesn`t feel it is an .appropriate .use.
