PC 98 -15 Schlapp Special Use
The request to allow a kennel with a special use living quarters was discussed. The county planning
would allow the kennel, but living quarters for a caretaker would require a special use. Alan Garrow
represented Gary Schlapp. The pre- annexation agreement would be a separate issue. The
compatibility with the city's zoning was discussed. The Planning Commission minutes concerning this
were reviewed. The consensus to COW was to recommend allowing a special use for a residence with
the kennel as long as it is solely for the purpose of an on -site employee and to allow incidental retail
sales. The recommendation will include #4 of the Plan Commission minutes: "if the kennel is to be allow,
the architecture of the building and the landscaping should be designed to create the semi -rural character
identified by the Comprehensive Plan. The building elevation, roof lines, and choice of materials should be
consistent with the rural residential character of the immediate area. Significant tree plantings along Cannonball
Trail and along the driveway should be provided. Also, landscape screening should be provided along the west
and north sides to screen future homes." This will go to COW Oct. 29.
