` ; , (-14 v /� C_� � w ,.� Jc, N \ j I rj `l ry r CIC • The Meyer's wish to combine a 0.89 acre,R-3A-zoned parcel which is vacant(no residential use)and a 4.81 acre, A-2 NC'g parcel into a 5.7 acre parcel on which one existing located. The Meter's have leased the property SFR and an existing dog kennel with related uses is p perty and operated the kennel since late 1996. Now they wish to buy it from Gerstner and"bring the kennel operation into conformity with the zoning ordinances and also... create a buffer between the kennel and neighboring properties" by incorporating the R3-A parcel. Their proposed uses are: • Kennel operation limited to no more than 175 dogs and 30 cats at any one time • Training of dogs • Retail sales of pet food,pet supplies, and related items (<100 SF of retail space) HISTORY: The dog kennel operation dates from 1972,when it was a permitted use in the A-1 district. In 1988,the kennel property was rezoned to A-2 shortly before the Zoning Ordinance was amended, requiring a CUP for kennel use in the A-2 district. So all aspects of the kennel use at that time-- but any area, size of buildings,number of dogs,etc. -- were grandfathe �, y expansion needed a CUP. Apparently there has been expansion of uses (sales of pet supplies, dog training,more dogs)without any CUP application. Subsequent zoning action resulted in CUP Application#986 in 1992. CUP 986 was abeyed at the Town's request and neither approved nor denied: The new CUP application supercedes it. There have also been complaints from the neighbors during this period and since.
