Home My WebLink About3.0 Addendum IIADDENDUM II TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Planning Department SUBJf,CT: O'Neal Kennel Special Use Permit Modifications DATE: October g,1996 The Board will recall the necessity of continuing the hearing concerning the modifications to the ONeal's conditionally approved SUP request, was to allow the applicants time to solidify their water supply proposal and obtain additional information regarding the daily, per animal, water and waste water requirements. Please refer to the previous ADDEND(lM for a discussion of the proposed modifications. According to the American Boarding Kennels Association (ABKA), the amount of daily, per dog water usage reported in the original StaffReport, may be excessive. The Association circulated a survey to its members and, based on the responses received. have calculated the following water usages. For sanitation For baths: 4 5 gallonsldo{day; 5.4 gallonsldoglday. (No information is provided for cats or other animals) These calculations represent I/3 the amount of daily water usage contained within the "Guidelines on Individual Sewage Disposal Systems, 1994 ed." and reported in the original StaffReport. If the (ABKA) numbers are accurate, then the amount of anticipated water usage would be reduced from 30 gallons/dog/day to approximately l0 gailonsidog/day. See ABKA letter, pug, 4 Regarding the actual water supply, the Town of,Parachute has submitted a letter stating the Town has extra water available and it would be sold to outside parties. However. the Town will not issue a contracf for the water supply requested by the applicants. See letter, pug" 5 StaffAnalysis: Using the water usage figures provided by the ABKA. it would appear the requested modifications would be much more feasible than previously thought. The applicants had originally received conditionalapprovalfor up to l7 do-ss and 6 cats, and are now proposing up to 25 dogs and l0 cats. Assuming each dog would use l0 gallons of water/day and arbitrarily assuming each cat woulduse 5 gallons of water/day, then 25 dogs and l0 cats would require 300 gallons of water/day. (This calculation assumes the kennel is full on a daily basis.) This calculation translates into a weekly water requirement of 2 100 gallons that must be provided by a supplier and trucked to the site. Given this water requirement, staff recommends the installation of a cistern, at least 2100 gallon capacity. Staffstill recommends that the most appropriate way to address the water supply is for the applicants to undertake the amendment procedure so their existing well would legally be allowed to supply the water, consistent with the manner sug-uested in the previous ADDEND(A4. In lieu of this, if the -t- Board determines that the proposed water supply is adequate and determines that the ABKA water usage calculations are reliable, then staffrecommends APPROVAL of the application, pursuant to the following Suggested Findings and (-.onditions of Approvul: SUGGESTED FINDTNGS 1.

At the Board of Trustees last regular meeting on September 12, 1996, they denied your request to contract with you on bulk water sales for commercial use. The Board does not want to get into a binding contract to sell bulk water to out of town limits businesses. As long as the Town has ertra water available, it will be sold on a day by day basis to outside parties. Should need any additional information please do not hesitate to contact me.
