Conditional Use Permit to Operate a Commercial Kennel in the B-1 Zoning District —N2 Investments Inc— Continued This hearing was continuedfrom the April 10, 2018, meeting. The request for a conditional use permit is to operate a commercial kennel at the Farmington Mall, 915 8111 Street. The business owner was present to answer questions raised at the April meeting. The owner explained the two main concerns were odor and noise. An average dog bark is between 80 and 90 decibels at 4 feet away from a dog. This is much lower than other noises in the area. From the business's backdoor to the resident's back door is 462 feet. If that space was wide open and the dogs were barking at full volume, by the time the sound reaches her door it will be at 60 decibels. There is a row of townhomes, garages and trees between the two properties. By the time any sound would reach the residential property, it should not be a problem. There are mechanical tools used in the resident's garage that are 100 decibels. The traffic on Ash Street is 4,000 vehicles a day that are constantly going by the house. Regarding the odor concern, coffee is placed in the grass to neutralize the odor. They will be getting free coffee grounds from the coffee shop. The entire area will be grass and there will be no runoff. Regarding the number of dogs, the business will have to have as many as possible to be successful;perhaps 32 to 40 dogs on average. Within three years, he hopes to be out of the mall and in his own building in Farmington. Members appreciated having an incubator type business in Farmington that planned to grow and stay within the community. Approval of the conditional use permit would include four conditions: 1. A kennel license shall be applied for and approved by the city every year that the proposed use is established at the premises. Said license shall expire on December 31 of each year. Reapplying for a kennel license shall trigger the need for a property inspection by staff. 2. All standards as outlined in Section 6-3-2(B) of the city code must be met. 3. The applicant shall obtain all necessary building permits that may be required for the establishment of the proposed use. 4. A sign permit application shall be required for any signage to be placed on site. MOTION by Franceschelli, second by Bjorge to close the public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
