The trash enclosure shall be constructed of materials consistent with the principal <br />structure and located as approved by Staff. <br />e. A solid 6 -foot fence shall be constructed between the subject property and the adjacent <br />residential properties. <br />f When the average occupancy level for three consecutive months exceeds 50 percent of <br />capacity, the business shall be staffed overnight. Capacity of the facility is 72 dogs (1 <br />dog per 85 square feet). 50 percent capacity is 36 dogs. <br />g. A 24-hour contact number shall be provided that can promptly respond to concerns. <br />Direction to prepare a resolution for approval or denial for consideration at the next City Council <br />meeting. <br />Barnhart noted the applicants are present this evening. <br />Cornick asked who would do the inspections and how often they would happen. <br />Barnhart indicated inspections would be part of the licensing process and would be once a year. One of <br />the conditions of approval is that the applicants maintain a license, and if that is not maintained, the <br />conditional use permit would be revoked. <br />Cornick asked if there is any state or county agency that would also perform inspections. <br />Barnhart indicated he is not aware of that. <br />Lisa Larson stated the State of Minnesota does not regulate kennels like this and instead leaves it up to the <br />local agencies. Larson noted they would expect to see OSHA officials. <br />Cornick asked if the 25 -pound limit is being imposed by the applicants and not the City. Cornick asked <br />if the applicants could allow a dog that weighed 100 pounds. <br />Barnhart stated based on the recommended conditions of Staff, that would be true, and that the applicants <br />have stated they would be limiting the dogs to breeds that are 25 pounds or under. Barnhart stated the <br />Council could require a weight limit if they so choose. <br />McMillan noted sometimes people have a big dog and a small dog and that they would likely not use this <br />facility if only one dog is allowed. <br />Mike Larson stated they understand that but the bigger dog would not be allowed. <br />Page 22 of 24 <br />
