Subject: 2330 Dixie Road ( Dog Kennels)
Hi Ashley..... Thanks for the call back re the Dog Kennels... My questions would include but not limited to the
following, re the proposed dog kennel facilities. _
Question.
1) Will there be a noise study requirement before the permit is issued? ( Barking dogs make considerable noise ,
especially a night, if startled by the close proxsimity of the trains passing by at night.)
2)What are the requirements for waste diposal. ( Dogs poop about 2-3 times daily). Depending on the number of
animals on site this could amount to a significant pile. .
3) Oder control.. ( If waste is not handled properly the oder can become overpowering.
4) Site Inspection ... How often will the facility be inspected, and who will be inspecting?
5) What services will be provided at this facilitiy?
6) Will the dogs be housed inside at night?
(hese are just a few questions off the top, please keep me posted...
Thanks
Ralph Sutton
