Also within the building will be some indoor kennels and offices. <br />Lemke asked if the applicants are proposing overnight kenneling. <br />Oakden indicated they are proposing limited overnight kenneling. <br />Thiesse asked how many animals are being proposed. <br />Oakden indicated the applicant will need to address that. The license granted would be a kennel license <br />and it would have to be renewed annually. <br />Libby asked if there is any information from Hennepin County as to why they propose the elimination of <br />the other drive. <br />Oakden stated if there is an unused driveway access off a county road, they will ask that it be removed. <br />Libby commented he would be interested in hearing information about soundproofing from the applicant. <br />Ryan Hasse, Applicant, stated they worked closely with City Staff to ensure their plan met all of the <br />ordinances and requirements associated for the B5 zoning district. Hasse stated they do expect this <br />business to operate close to what the district allows for with some exceptions. <br />With regard to sound, to the north of the property is the Hennepin County maintenance facility, which is a <br />considerable distance from this property. To the east is the fire department with a number of trees in <br />between the two properties. Hasse stated they will not allow the dogs to just sit there outside and bark. In <br />addition, the street is to the south and the Hope Chest is the closet neighbor and is to the west. Hasse <br />indicated they took all that into consideration when designing their proposal. <br />Hasse stated the accessory building would be a square building and that they have worked with the <br />planners to meet the ordinances and codes to ensure it would be in compliance and to build an appealing <br />structure. Hasse noted a dog park was opened in Orono not too long ago and is very popular and that they <br />are creating a beautiful space for dogs to be indoors during the winter and outdoors during the summer. <br />Page 9 of 21 <br />
