PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
Type of Review Major Impact – Kennel, Large
Applicants (Owners) Alpine Animal Hospital Land Company
Representative Teija Heikkila, PetVET
Legal Description 87 Tract in Lots 7 & 12 Lying northerly of Hwy 82 Except 0.18
Acres
Practical description 17776 Hwy 82 Carbondale, Co 81623
Lot sizes 3.982 Acres
Zoning Rural
Comprehensive Plan Residential Medium
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The application proposes the creation of a dog daycare and boarding facility, separate from the
existing veterinary clinic, which will house more than 8 dogs at one time. This meets the definition of
a Kennel, Large (referred to as a Large Kennel from this point forward) found in the Land Use and
Development Code, as amended. The application represents that only operational changes are being
made to the existing site and development
Veterinary use has existed on the site since the 1960’s. Current ownership has been since the 1970’s.
It appears that SUP 99-103 approved the use. The approvals were updated by a new special use
permit approved by Resolution 2008-106 at Reception #755796. This permit applies to parcel #2391-
333-00-005. At that time, no residential use was present on the site, though an apartment has since
been added. Building permits exist for each structure, including permits for expansion of individual
structures. Likewise, septic and well permits are present. The existing SUP permitted a kennel as part
of the veterinary hospital. The applicant is separating the two uses and the kennel will be expanded
beyond the number of dogs (15) allowed by the current SUP.
The parcel is located between Highway 82 and the Highway 82 Access Road near Garfield County’s
border with Eagle County. The site takes access directly from the Access Road, which is CDOT rights-
of-way. CDOT provided referral comments.
The parcel currently has two buildings with permits. The southern building is the kennel (Barn Yard)
with housing unit, while the northern building is the animal hospital (veterinary clinic). Each structure
is served by individual OWTS. The parcel also has a well, two septic systems, and irrigation ditches.
Circulation is shared by the two structures, which do have individual parking. The application’s traffic
study examined these items as well as traffic impacts.
The sketch site plan shown on the following page is from a 2008 application and does not include all
current improvements. A site schematic from the application also follows. The western most drive
from the 2008 application has since been blocked with animal yards part of the Barn Yard operation.

documentation related to ownership and representation for the application.
Section 4-203.C Vicinity Map – Application provided a vicinity map.
Section 4-203.D Site Plan – The application provided a basic site plan and requested a submittal
waiver from some details usually required. The application is not proposing any significant
changes to the site, including topography.
Section 4-203.E Grading and Drainage – There is no proposed changes to Grading and Drainage.
There is currently no evidence that additional grading is required on the site.
Section 4-203.F Landscape Plan – The application requests a waiver of this requirement since it is

Section 4-203.K Improvements Agreement – NA
Section 4-203.L Traffic Study –
The application includes a traffic study prepared by River City Consultants. Impacts to the Hwy 82
Frontage Road were considered. The original CDOT permit, #309106, was updated by CDOT upon
application of the owner to permit #322110. This permit accommodates the proposed use.
The traffic study estimated ADT using past data from the boarding facility and veterinary clinic. Future
expansions were projected. Those projected traffic counts were not high enough to trigger
improvements to the frontage road.
Section 4-203.M Water Supply and Distribution Plan –
The site is served by a well. The well permit was provided.
Water quality test results were within established parameters. There were no concerns presented
regarding the well production as demonstrated in the 4-hour pump test.
Section 4-203.N Wastewater Management –
The veterinary clinic and the kennel are on separate OWTS for wastewater management. Each system
has a septic tank and an absorption field. The wastewater management plan addressed both systems.
The report noted that the Animal Clinic’s septic tank is not protected by a fence or similar barrier to
prevent heavy traffic over top.

The OWTS that serves the proposed kennel and existing employee housing was originally designed
and permitted for the first veterinary clinic on the site. The report indicated that the system has
adequate capacity for the proposed uses and some expansion.

require state permitting. The reports include some recommendations staff would encourage the
applicant to take into consideration when operating their uses.

The proposal complies with Garfield county’s Comprehensive Plan. No IGA’s are impacted, though
referral request was sent to Eagle County due to the proximity of the parcel to that county.

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL STAFF ANALYSIS
The applicant has provided additional information in response to the Planning Commission’s
comments and recommendations. Due to these supplemental items, included in the exhibits, staff
has recommended altering the recommended Planning Commission’s conditions of approval #4 and
#9 and removing condition #5.
NOISE MITIGATION REALTED TO PC CONDITION #4
Exhibit 12 provides the applicant’s responses to staff’s original recommended conditions of approval,
#4 which requested mitigation measures related to noise. The measures are:
“a. Noise suppression acoustic panels: These panels are very effective in
eliminating echo and reverb while overall reducing ambient noise in a space.
These panels would be placed both inside the pet care (BarnYard) building as
well as on the inside of the outside fence where dogs play.
b. Smaller Group Size: Majority of dog noise comes from group play as the puppies
get excited and escalate. BarnYard will be more observant in the play behavior
of dogs that participate in group play and as necessary, reduce the group size if
play becomes too high energy.
c. Dogs that bark excessively: Barn Yard ownership will direct staff to diligently
remove any dogs that bark excessively from the outside play yard.
d. Staff Training: BarnYard agrees to provide additional staff training to prevent,
monitor and control barking behavior.”
Based on the above mitigation strategies, staff has amended the recommended Condition of Approval
#4 to directly call out that the facility must maintain compliance with all applicable noise ordinances.
DRIVEWAY WAIVER OF STANDARDS RELATED TO PC CONDITION #5
To fulfill the Planning Commission’s recommended Condition of Approval #5, the applicant has
provided a waiver of standards request and CDOT access permit. The waiver request was reviewed
by the consulting engineer and staff, and it was found to fulfill the requirements of 4-118. The waiver
request, pertinent portions of the permit, and the consulting engineer’s comments are included in
Exhibits 16, 17, and 18 respectively. Staff recommends not including this condition now.
DOG CAPACITY RELATED TO PC CONDITION #9
The applicant provided a letter included in Exhibit #15 provided 120 dogs as an upper level for the
number of dogs the facility should have based on current facilities. Staff notes that the PACFA license’s
regulations include limits on the number of dogs based on the number of kennel staff present.
Similarly, noise and other nuisance limitations may require the facility to limit the number of dogs or
other animals to maintain compliance. Staff amended recommended Condition of Approval #9 above
(now #8 below) to reflect this number.
