MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,April 16,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Oakden stated as it relates to the conditional use permit, it does not specify a number of dogs and the City <br /> does not have any numbers outlined as far as commercial kennels and dogs. <br /> Libby asked if there is a way for the dogs to enter into the other part of the yard or get loose. Libby noted <br /> Orono has a leashing law that is enforceable and that he does not want any loose dogs running around. <br /> Hasse noted they have elected for a 10-foot setback on the fence and a 6-foot high vinyl fence. The fence <br /> will be 100 percent opaque and the dogs will not be able to see through it. Hasse stated they do not want <br /> the dogs to get out because it hurts their reputation and that the fence is designed to be dog-proof. In <br /> addition, any area where the dogs will be outside will be fenced. <br /> Landgraver asked if there will be a person on site at night. <br /> Speck indicated there will be a staff member there at all times. <br /> Thiesse asked if anyone would be living in the house. <br /> Hasse indicated there will not be. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:43 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 7:43 p.m. <br /> Thiesse asked if a kennel license is revocable. <br /> Oakden stated the City Clerk manages all the licenses, but since this will be a conditional use permit, <br /> conditions can be set to be reviewed. Oakden stated to her knowledge there are some standards to revoke <br /> a kennel license. <br /> Lemke stated he is concerned about the amount of parking but noted the applicants are amenable to <br /> increasing it. <br /> Oakden suggested the Planning Commission request proof of parking, and if complaints are received,the <br /> applicants could perhaps add parking in the future. <br /> Landgraver asked what parking was required for The Woofington. <br /> Oakden stated it was four spaces and then one space for every 500 square feet in excess of 1,000 square <br /> feet of building, which is what the Code reads. Oakden noted the parking has actually been made stricter <br /> since The Woofington was approved. <br /> Thiesse asked if they only require one more parking space. <br /> Oakden indicated that is correct, and if the main building is only counted,they would be required to have <br /> five. If the accessory building is included,they would require seven, which leaves them one short. <br /> Page 12 of 21 <br />
