738 at its
Properties in the area are generally open, rolling pasture. Three
dwellings are located across Route 738. The applicant's family
owns property adjacent to the east, which is developed with three
dwellings. These three dwellings would be closest to the proposed
kennel.
Staff Comment
The applicant proposes a 2,400 square foot boarding and grooming
kennel with 20 single and 4 double runs and an indoor facility for
cats. The applicant has obtained signatures of support from
several adjoining property owners, including the two properties
closest to the proposed kennel location. Staff has received no
comment or inquiry from other property owners in the area. While
there appears to be no current concern, Staff would recommend
conditions which would provide flexibility to require additional
measures should the same be necessary in the future.
Staff has reviewed this petition for consistency with 31.2.4.1 and
recommends that, given the support or neutrality of property owners
in the area, the kennel would not be of substantial detriment to
other properties in the area. Staff opinion is that concerns of
the general public health, safety, and welfare can be addressed by
conditions of approval. As currently proposed, the kennel would
not conform to all requirements of 5.1.11 Supplementary Regulations;
however, Staff would recommend a condition to require conformance
in the future should the same prove necessary (see condition three).
Staff recommends approval, subject to the following conditions:
1. Building Official and Health Department approval to insure
the kennel is designed in such fashion that all washdown water
is directed to an approved septic system for sanitary disposal;
2. Building Official approval of building soundproofing measures
in accordance with 5.1.11(b) (i.e. - sound measured at nearest
agricultural or residential property lines will not exceed 40
decibels);
