submitted a stormwater detention exception narrative. Mr. Ogle provided the hours of operation,
stated the site is for dog breeding only, will not be open to the public and described the indoor
facility space. He entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the
record, as written, and displayed images of the site and surrounding views.
= Lauren Light, Department of Public Health and Environment, stated the existing residence is
served by a domestic well and a septic system sized for three (3) bedrooms, and indicated the
applicant may use a portable toilet for people who come to look at the puppies. A Noise Study
showed the site can meet the residential noise limit, and a Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act
(PACFA) license will be required.
Edie Pittman, applicant, provided a description of the kennel, indicated her dogs are imported
from around the world, described the interview process for placing dogs and relayed she shows
them in competitions around the country. She stated the property is 11 acres, fenced, and that
the dogs go out in groups of six (6), not all at once. Commissioner Saine expressed her
appreciation for the applicant's passion for the dogs.
David Dutch, SPO, expressed his concern about noise, stated it is usually quiet, but
sometimes it sounds like a dog fight for long durations of time, and relayed the lights from the
property are extremely bright. In response to Commissioner Saine, Mr. Dutch indicated he did talk
to the applicant about the noise a couple of years ago and further explained the lights shine
towards his barn, which reflects into his house. Chair Ross explained the Resolution contains
Conditions of Approval (COA) and Development Standards (DS) regarding lighting, to safeguard
SPOs and Commissioner James explained sound is not additive and reiterated the Noise Study
shows the applicant can stay within the residential noise limit.
Ms. Pittman stated the dogs are inside at night, asserted they bark when they play and
explained the reason for the bright lights. Chair Ross described the requirements for lighting, per
the Development Standards, and Ms. Pittman indicated she had reviewed, and agreed to abide
by, the COA and DS, as presented. The Board discussed the COA and DS and agreed to add,
"seven (7) days a week" to DS #4 (hours of operation).
El No public testimony was offered regarding the change made to DS #4.
Commissioner James moved to approve the request of Marvin Spayd and Edie Pittman,
c/o French Bred Frenchie's, LLC, for a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special
Review Permit, USR23-0038, for a Breeding Kennel limited to 30 dogs over the age of six (6)
months outside of subdivisions and historic townsites in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, based
on the recommendations of Planning staff and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards, as amended. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Saine, and it carried unanimously. There being no further discussion, the hearing was completed
