Amended Use by Special Review Permit #673 for a Dog Kennel (maximum of 16 dogs) in the
A(Agricultural)Zone District issued to Catherine Cariaso. Lee Morrison,Assistant County Attorney,
made this a matter of record. Chris Gathman, Department of Planning Services, stated the
Departments of Planning Services and Public Health and Environment and Animal Control
recommend continuing the matter to June 16,2004,at 10:00 a.m. He stated during the interim Ms.
Cariaso would be required to do one of the following: 1)Remove the kennel operation;2)downsize
the kennel operation to no more than 16 dogs;or 3)Apply for an amended Use by Special Review
Permit to increase the number of dogs allowed in the facility.
Theodore Schrage, surrounding property owner, stated the respondent has too many dogs, they
have had conflicts with her horses destroying the fence,and her dogs chase his cows. He stated
this is not an appropriate location fora kennel because the barking is unbearable for area residents.
Mr.Schrage stated the Conditions of Approval require that the dogs be debarked;however,this has
never been done. He stated this area is experiencing rapid growth;there are five new homes being
built; and one new residence is ready for occupancy. He stated he has owned land on two sides
of the site for more than 35 years,and he expressed concern regarding health and odor. He further
stated the respondent does not care for the dogs appropriately.
Dean Hanes,surrounding property owner,stated dogs should be quite from 10:00 p.m.to 7:00 a.m.;
however, Ms.Cariaso does not control the barking,which is continuous throughout the day. There
being no further comments,Chair Masden closed public testimony. (Switched to Tape#2004-09.)
