Engineering and Roads

Future Road Improvement Projects

During the 2019 Fall Road Tour and 2020 Spring Road Tour, several roads were identified as

needing repair beyond regular maintenance of crack fill and/or chip seal. The approved 2020 and


2021 budgets do not account for the improvements identified during the road tours and have not

been scheduled as future road projects.

Voedisch indicated that since tax revenues could be reduced due to the economic recession, that

we could hold off on any major paving projects such as mill-and-overlay and total reclaim, and

those roads showing potholing can be patched for this year and even next. Koscielak will work

with Voedisch and come up with a projects list for paved roads that includes, crack fill, chip seal

and patching, along with costs for each, and the board can then consider which ones to do this year

versus next year.

2020 Storm Sewer Cleaning

Storm sewer cleaning is tentatively scheduled for Friday, May 8, 2020, weather permitting.

2020 Street Sweeping

Allied Blacktop has completed sweeping of the roadways as identified in the contract and has

submitted the final invoice along with the necessary IC-134. During the Road Tour, additional

roads were identified to be swept this Spring. Allied Blacktop will schedule the additional

sweeping and invoice upon completion. Adams moved, seconded by Voedisch, to pay Allied

Blacktop $6,500.00 for street sweeping. By Roll Call Vote: Adams: YES; Pazlar: YES; Voedisch:

YES. Motion passed.

2020 Gravel Application

The Board had awarded the 2020 Gravel Application contract to Miller Excavating. The gravel

delivery has not been scheduled and is anticipated to be completed in July before the second dust

control application. Voedisch and Koscielak with will review the gravel grid and come up with a

list of roads to gravel that will fit under $27,500 budget for this year.

Ozark Avenue and Ozark Court Storm Structure Repairs

In the Fall of 2019, Koscielak reviewed the condition of the existing storm water structures located

at the intersection of Ozark Avenue and Ozark Court. The review revealed gaps around the pipe

coming from a storm water structure. The gap allows soil from around the pipe to enter the

structure and be swept away by storm water. The road has been undermined below the

pavement/curb adjacent to the structure, and there is a hole in the road, revealing a cavity of space

below. Koscielak solicited a quote from Dresel Contracting ($8,000) and Rick Fuhr ($2,175) to

complete the repairs. Voedisch moved, seconded by Pazlar, to award the job to Rick Fuhr for

$2,175 to repair the five structural connections and fill the voids with concrete. By Roll Call Vote:

Adams: YES; Pazlar: YES; Voedisch: YES. Motion passed.

Gravel Samples

Koscielak’s staff is hoping to get gravel samples back from the lab in the next week. Gravel

samples were taken from 130th Street at Keystone Avenue and 121t Street.

Road Grader Repairs

Voedisch reported that a remanufactured engine has been installed in the Road Grader and it has

been delivered back to Marv. With the new engine, Voedisch said the grader is ready for another

ten years of service.


Violations/Complaints

14890 Ostrum Trail – Town Code Violation – Potentially Dangerous Dog(s)

On April 11, 2020, two dogs from 14890 Ostrum Trail killed several chickens of Melanie

Vaughn’s at 14855 Old Guslander Trail. Vaughn was present at the board meeting. A sheriff’s

report was filed. It was noted this was the fourth incident involving the two dogs. Voedisch asked

for guidance from Snyder, as the dogs have continued to create issues. Snyder laid out the paths

that exist for this particular incident: The first is the dog-at-large charge which is a petty

misdemeanor charge which is being brought at the county level where the case is pending. The

second is the “dangerous dog designation.” The third is the question of enforcement of a dangerous

dog – which may require a formal civil action. The dangerous dog designation was made by

Washington County after the April 11, 2020 incident. The dog has been conclusively declared to

be dangerous. Therefore, the dog is to be removed from the township as the Town Code does not

allow dangerous dogs.

Vaughn said each episode has involved two dogs. The first three episodes were a Doberman and

a German Short Hair. This last episode involved the two German Short Hair which were seized.

Snyder went on to say as a result of the dangerous dog designation, the dogs should be removed

from the house/property which is normally done voluntarily. However, due to the present situation

and the parties involved, Snyder does not see any reason to believe that removal of the dogs would

be voluntary. The board would have to evaluate this possible action and make the final decision.

Vaughn noted that the owner of 14890 Ostrum did stop at her house and claim the dogs were not

his and he can’t do anything to keep them home. Harmon stated owner definition is simply a

resident harboring the dogs, providing care. Property owners are responsible for the dogs. If the

town proceeds with the dangerous dog rules in the Town Code, a warrant will need to be issued

and the dogs would be detained for 10 days and, during that time, the owners of the dog can come

into compliance with statute. The owners were given notice of dangerous dog designation and

their time to appeal ran on May 5, 2020 without objection. Snyder wrote a letter to Washington

County on May 2, 2020 inquiring whether they would commence prosecution. The board decided

not to take any action at this time, rather directing Snyder to report back at the June 4, 2020 Board

Meeting with his findings.

11271 148th Street – Town Code Violation – Potentially Dangerous Dog

On April 9, 2020, the owner of a dog at 11274 148th Street attacked a neighbor’s smaller dog on

the street. The smaller dog sustained serious injuries that required over $14,000 worth of

veterinarian bills. The homeowners of the dog that attacked paid the veterinarian bills, agreed to

have their dog chipped, and have reported the potentially dangerous dog has been kept more

securely.


13003 177th Street – Town Code Violation – Buildings

Kevin Jutz was present at the meeting to give an update of his acquiring the needed acreage to

come into compliance. His attempt to purchase 20 acres from a neighbor, whose land and house

were on the market, fell through. He has another neighbor who is planning on selling his property

in two years. Jutz also proposed removing the sides of his pole barn which would create a lean-

to. This could reduce his square footage to acreage ration. Sparks indicated it would still be a

structure even without sides. Jutz then asked if the building were put on skids and become

“mobile” would it still a structure. Voedisch read the definition of “structure” from Chapter 7 of

the Town Code, and both secure and mobile buildings are considered structures. The board

directed Snyder, Jutz, and Kramer to meet to find a solution, i.e., fashion an agreement where Jutz

would post security stating he would come into compliance within a certain amount of time.

Tibbetts will schedule the meeting.

Old Business

Panorama Stormwater Project

Mike Isensee with the Carnelian Marine St. Croix Watershed District (CMCSWD) was present to

discuss the latest on the Panorama Stormwater Project. The $360,000 project with each party

(CMCSWD, May, Assessed Owners) would pay an equal portion, is currently on hold. Voedisch

explained, due to the economic situation, we need to reassess this project at this time against the

potential for reduced tax revenues and the inability of some residents to handle the assessment.

Isensee mentioned the MPCA has a 0% interest loan. Pazlar noted the Town needs to be mindful

of our budget and spending under the current financial state. Isensee said he has not discussed

with his board their 2021 budget.

Town Park Mowing

In March, Tibbetts solicited bids from North Woods Industries, Ground FX Lawn & Landscape,

and Easy Landscaping to mow the entire Town Park. Thereafter, Voedisch volunteered to mow

the ballfields at the Town Park with the town’s mower, only asking to be reimbursed for the cost

of fuel. Voedisch presented Tibbetts with a drawn map and a list of needed criteria for mowing

the rest of the Town Park. Easy Landscaping had already bid with and without the ballfields. She

forwarded the drawn map and list to North Woods Industries and Ground FX Lawn & Landscape.

The only bid received within the criteria requested was Easy Landscaping.

The town received a quote from Valley Green who did weed whacking last year. Therefore, two

quotes are before the Town Board for review and awarding: Easy Landscape of $255/time and

Valley Green of $225/time. Voedisch moved, seconded by Adams, to award the town park

mowing to Valley Green at $225/time. By Roll Call Vote: Adams: YES; Pazlar: YES; Voedisch:

YES. Motion passed.

Dogs at Town Park

The board reviewed possible signs to place at the Town Park to remind people to pick up after

their dogs. Voedisch moved, seconded by Adams, to direct Tibbetts to purchase two signs and

have them installed with a budget not to exceed $150.00. By Roll Call Vote: Adams: YES; Pazlar:

YES; Voedisch: YES. Motion passed.


Washington County Cooperative Weed Management Area Partners (MOU)

The board reviewed a Memorandum of Understanding from Washington County Conservation

District. After reviewing it, they decided to pass on participating in this project. Voedisch moved,

seconded by Adams, not to participate in the Cooperative Weed Management Area Partners

Memorandum of Understanding. By Roll Call Vote: Adams: YES; Pazlar: YES; Voedisch: YES.

Motion passed.

New Business

15020 St. Croix Trail Cell Tower – Generator

Sparks reported that General Dynamics, on behalf of AT&T, has requested zoning approval to

place a backup diesel generator in a 4’ x 10’ shed within the compound. The CUP mentioned five

buildings within this area and this is a small structure that is next to one of the two existing

structures. The CUP states equipment may be added or removed without the need to amend the

CUP; thus, this type of change can be approved by the Board. Major modifications to the tower

and site require an amendment to the CUP.” Sparks indicated that noise from the generator could

be an issue and General Dynamics has submitted a detailed noise/sound study. The study

concluded the noise level would be at 65.4 decibels at 23 feet from the generator. Metropolitan

Pollution Control Agency requirements dictate below 65 decibels. A revised sheet depicting

conformance to the requirements was requested and the response from General Dynamics was “it

should stand to reason that it complies.” Typically, applicants depict conformance when

requesting permits. Sparks noted the generator is diesel that will contain a fuel tank within the

shed. Sparks said if the board is in agreement, Kramer and Sparks can take care of General

Dynamics’ request. We could get more clarification on the noise, however, it likely will be fine.

Voedisch said with the previous cell tower, when a generator was added, it was considered an

administrative change approved by the Board.

CUP Kennel Application – 16740 Norell Avenue

Annette Friedheim of 16740 Norell Avenue has applied for a private dog kennel permit. She has

four dogs of her own and intends to keep foster dogs awaiting adoption. The Town Code allows

properties to have up to three dogs. Anything more than three is only allowed as a “kennel.” The

Town Code has two types of kennels listed: private and small business. Friedheim would exceed

the number of allowed dogs for personal companionship. She stated to the board that there would

be no outside public traffic to her residence, she has a fenced yard, and she has been a foster

volunteer through Midwest Animal Rescue for some time. The board discussed whether this

would fall under a small business permit but it was noted she has only five acres and, that there

would be no visiting the dogs by the public. A potential stand-alone permit could be created that

would reflect 4-6 dogs, as opposed to the kennel CUP which dictates more. Harmon voiced

appreciation for folks like Friedheim who volunteer to foster dogs. Snyder recommended working

with Sparks to help fashion a solution to the current situation, i.e., small business permit, CUP, or

another allowable position.

Norell Avenue Natural Preservation Route – Laurie Allmann

Laurie Allmann of 16220 Norell Avenue was present at the meeting to discuss her request to pursue

Norell Avenue between County Road 4 and County Road 7 being deemed a Natural Preservation

Route as defined by Minn. Rule 8820.4000. She came before the board to ask if they would


support her effort. Allmann thinks her review of the qualifications stated in the rule is met wherein

the preservation would protect water and wildlife, as well as vegetation. Before she brings her

proposal to Washington County, she would like the town’s support in gathering needed

information. Tibbetts volunteered to work with Allmann to secure the needed information.

Voedisch said getting Fran Miron in on the project early would help.

Nature’s Nectar – Interim Use Permit

Snyder completed the first draft of the proposed Interim Use Permit and it is being reviewed.

Township Insurance – Chris Sauro

Chris Sauro introduced his colleague Josh McDuffy who he has been grooming to be his

replacement when Sauro retires on August 1, 2020. Sauro presented his insurance

recommendation to the town board. Pazlar noted the Town Hall replacement is listed at $498,493.

He would like to see that increased. Kramer will check into the cost of replacing the Town Hall,

not at historical levels, but at normal structural guidelines. Pazlar thought it should be upward of

$850,000 worth of coverage. Sauro will check with the insurance carrier, League of Minnesota

Cities Insurance Trust, on increasing the coverage of the Town Hall. Regarding mobile property,

LMCIT changed their rules on scheduling, “mobile property with values greater than $250,000

need to be scheduled.” It was noted the 2006 John Deere Grader is scheduled for a limit of

$171,762 and, therefore, no longer needs to be scheduled. Tibbetts questioned whether the

township should have blanket equipment breakdown coverage. Sauro will get information to the

board on the details of said coverage and what it handles. The total premiums for 2020 are

$9,695.00 compared to $9,541.00 in 2018 and $8,685.00 in 2019.

Regarding the waiver of Liability Coverage, Voedisch moved, seconded by Adams, to not waive

the monetary limits on municipal tort liability established by Minn. Stat. Sec. 466.04. By Roll

Call Vote: Adams: YES; Pazlar: YES; Voedisch: YES. Motion passed.

The board thanked Sauro for his years of service to the township in handling its insurance needs.

Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau Contract

The town board reviewed the proposed contract with Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau for 2020.

Voedisch moved, seconded by Adams, to approve the 2020 contract with Lakes Area Youth

Service Bureau. By Roll Call Vote: Adams: YES; Pazlar: YES; Voedisch: YES. Motion passed.

Adams moved, seconded by Voedisch, to adjourn the meeting. By Roll Call Vote: Adams: YES;

Pazlar: YES; Voedisch: YES. Motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 9:52 p.m.

Attest, Respectfully submitted,

The map of the roadways to receive pothole repairs. The quotes received are: T.A. Schifsky $24,815 and Allied Blacktop Co. $77,922. Since we have been getting complaints about potholes we wanted to get this awarded ASAP, so the Board was polled and Schifsky was chosen. The quotes are broken down by street and type of improvement to allow the Town the flexibility to review the costs against the current budget, and only approve work for this year that fits the current budget.

2. 2020 Crack Fill Improvements: Staff has solicited quotes to complete crack fill repairs along various roadways throughout the Town. The map of the roadways to receive crack fill improvements is included. The quotes were separated by street to allow the Town the flexibility to review the costs against the current budget and modify the improvements as necessary to accommodate the current budget. The quotes will be made available at the June Board Meeting.

Engineering Staff Report – June 2020 June 2, 2020 Page 2


3. 2020 Chip Seal Improvements: Staff has solicited quotes to complete chip seal improvements along various roadways throughout the Town. The map of the roadways to be chip sealed is included. The quotes were separated by street to allow the Town the flexibility to review the costs against the current budget and modify the improvements as necessary to accommodate the current budget. The quotes will be made available at the June Board Meeting.

4. 2020 Storm Sewer Cleaning: The Board had awarded the 2020 Storm Sewer Cleaning contract to

American Vacuum Excavating at the March Board Meeting. The storm sewer cleaning has been completed within areas on the attached map.

Following the 2020 Annual Road Tour, staff requested a quote from American Vacuum Excavating to complete additional storm sewer cleanings at the following locations:

• 130th Street cul-de-sac (from cul-de-sac to Big Carnelian)

• Northbrook Avenue

Board Action – Consider approving final payment to American Vacuum Excavating in the amount of $1,950 for the storm sewer cleaning as identified in the original contract documents. Board Action – Consider approving contract to American Vacuum Excavating in the amount of $875 for the additional storm sewer cleaning as identified in the 2020 Spring Road Tour.

5. 2020 Street Sweeping: During the 2020 Annual Road Tour, 130th Street Lane was identified as needing

to be swept. This roadway was part of the original quote provided by Allied Blacktop Co. but was missed during initial sweeping operations. Allied Blacktop Co. completed the missed sweeping on Tuesday, May 26th. No additional sweepings were identified during the 2020 Annual Road Tour.

6. Ozark Avenue and Ozark Court Storm Structure Repairs: The Board had awarded the Ozark Avenue and Ozark Court Storm Structure Repairs contract to Fuhr Trenching at the May Board Meeting. The repairs are scheduled to be completed the week of June 8th, weather permitting.

7. 2020 Calcium Chloride Application: The Board had awarded the 2020 Calcium Chloride Application contract to Northern Salt at the April Board Meeting. The spring application was completed May 11th and May 12th. Following the initial application on May 11th, Staff and Board members expressed concern regarding the application being too light. In past years, with the same application rate specified as 0.25 gals / SY, the gravel roads appeared damp and dark across their whole width, but this year there were light places on many roads after the application and some places had the appearance of “droplets” (photos attached). Staff along with Board Chair Voedisch met with Northern Salt on May 12th to discuss the application. Northern Salt indicated they stand behind the application and the future rains would help “activate” the calcium chloride. They agreed to only be paid for the cost of material and labor initially, no profit, to allow the Town to monitor the performance of the calcium chloride.

The original quote received from Northern Salt was for $0.947/gallon to apply 70,000 gallons. The invoiced amount received from Northern Salt was $0.89/gallon ($0.85/gallon for cost of material and $0.04/gallon for labor) to apply 67,760 gallons. The total invoiced amount from Northern Salt was $60,446.40. The remaining $3,862.32 ($0.057/gallon profit) was withheld from the initial invoice.

Board Chair Voedisch reviewed the roads 10 days following the application and found the roads to still show patches of “light” gravel (not the darker, saturated look as in previous years) and dust was starting to kick up behind his vehicle as he drove some of the roads. He now reports more dust June 1, just 3 weeks after application. Voedisch will review the roads again prior to the Thursday Board meeting. Board Action – After further review of the performance this week, the Board will consider any retainage at its meeting Thursday.



8. 2020 Gravel Application: The Board had awarded the 2020 Gravel Application contract to Miller Excavating at the May Board Meeting. The gravel delivery has not been scheduled and is anticipated to be completed in July before the second dust control application.

PLANNING MEMO To: Town of May Board Chair and Supervisors From: Nate Sparks, Town Planner Date: May 29, 2020 Re: Friedheim Kennel Application Background Annette Friedheim has made an application for a private kennel at 16740 Norell Avenue. She has four dogs of her own and then also intends to keep “foster dogs” awaiting adoption. She has stated that she intends to have two of these dogs. At the previous Board meeting, there was discussion about a “streamlined approach” to processing some private kennel permits. Proposed ordinance language related to that has been prepared. Kennel Operations The Town Code allows properties to have up to three dogs. Anything more than three is only allowed as a “kennel.” The Code has two types of kennels listed: private and small business. Private kennels are defined as: Kennel, Private. Means any place where four (4) or more dogs over six (6) months of age are kept primarily for personal companionship, for recreational use or for performance events in addition to the purpose of improving the physical soundness and temperament of such dogs, and where the breeding and selling of animals is incidental to the occupancy of the premises for residential purposes. Small business kennels are defined as: Kennel, Small Business. Means any place where four (4) or more dogs over six (6) months of age are bred and/or sold for re-sale, individually, or in litter lots, whether or not any of these animals are also kept for personal use. Small Business Kennels are also places where dogs are boarded, groomed, or trained for a fee. The operation of a Small Business Kennel is secondary or incidental to the occupancy of the premises for residential purposes. Both types of kennels require an interim use permit. Additionally, the small business kennel requires a small business permit, which can only be granted to properties greater than 10 acres in size.

http://www.nacplanning.com/

The interim use permit for a private kennel requires an application fee of $100 with an escrow of $100. Then there is a $25 annual fee. The small business kennel interim use permit requires a $100 fee with a $1,200 escrow. There is a $500 annual fee. Both private kennels and small business kennels require the Town to hold a public hearing at the Planning Commission and approve a resolution. Applicant’s Proposal The proposal that the applicant is seeking is to exceed the number of allowed dogs for personal companionship, she has four, as well as taking in “foster dogs.” “Fostering” dogs isn’t a technical term defined by the Code or State Statutes. It is generally considered to be temporarily housing a dog that is awaiting adoption from an animal shelter. The applicant’s application was deemed incomplete as it lacked the required information required by the Town Code for consideration. The applicant was asked to provide a clear narrative of the proposed use including the number of dogs. She has stated that she intends to have her four dogs plus up to two dogs from a shelter. She states that the dogs from the shelter will be picked up, returned, or given to a new family all by her and all off-site. No other people will be visiting the site. Staff Analysis The Town Board should discuss whether the temporary housing of dogs in excess of the allowed numbers on behalf of an animal shelter or other such non-profit is technically qualified as a “private kennel.” It could be viewed as a type of dog boarding, which is not permitted as a private kennel. The applicant would not qualify for the small business permit, as she has less than 5 acres of property. Draft ordinance language has been prepared for two scenarios. First, there is language that is related to creating a “limited private kennel.” This would allow for a private kennel without the need for an interim use permit. This would only be for people with 4-6 dogs and would still require Town Board approval. The property would be required to have 2.5 acres. A second option is to adopt an ordinance that allows for a “limited small business kennel” where a small business kennel may operate on property less than 10 acres in size. The proposal is that the property could have 4-6 dogs as part of a small business with only 2.5 acres. Requested Action The Town Board should first determine whether a “private kennel” could include a person who is fostering dogs.

If so, then the Town Board should determine if there is a desire to allow for a limited private kennel permit for 4-6 dogs. There would be no public hearing and no interim use permit. This would be just a permit issued by the Board. If not, the Town Board should determine if there is a desire to allow small business kennels with 4-6 dogs on property less than 10 acres in size. This would require a public hearing and an interim use permit. The Planning Commission would need to review the ordinance and hold a public hearing. If the Board is not interested in the ordinance amendments and considers the use to be commercial in nature and not qualify for a small business permit, the applicant should be made aware of that. If the Board is not interested in the ordinance amendments and considers the use to qualify as a private kennel, the application should be forwarded to the Planning Commission. If the Board is concerned that the cost of reviewing the application will be too great, it should be noted that if an applicant goes over the escrow, they may be sent a bill for the overage. Otherwise, a supplemental deposit could be requested from the applicant. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the use be considered a private kennel and the application be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and a public hearing under the current ordinance. If this action is unacceptable to the Board, one the following other options should be considered:

1. Alternative Option 1. Move towards adopting the limited private kennel ordinance and prepare a permit based on this new ordinance. This would result in no public hearing and no visit to the Planning Commission with the Board reviewing the proposal.

2. Alternative Option 2. Move towards adopting the limited small business kennel ordinance which would allow a small business on her property and proceed to the Planning Commission for adoption of this new ordinance. The Town would review the proposed permit concurrently. This allows for commercial kennels on lots less than 10 acres in size with 6 or less dogs.

3. Alternative Option 3. No new ordinances are to be considered and advise the applicant that the kennel is considered a small business and that she is not eligible for such consideration. She may still proceed as a private kennel for her personal dogs (4 total).

It would appear that the following conditions would be needed on any approved permit:

1. The applicant may have up to six dogs. 2. Four dogs are permitted for personal companionship. 3. Up to two dogs may be “foster dogs” associated with an animal shelter. 4. There may be no visitors to the site related to the foster dogs. 5. All waste outdoors shall be disposed of daily and not allowed to accumulate. 6. All exterior areas for the dogs shall be fenced. 7. Conditions shall remain in conformance with Article 501 of the Town Code at all times. 8. Any violations of these terms may result in revocation of the permit.

OPTION 1: LIMITED PRIVATE KENNEL ORDINANCE Section 501.14: Kennels; Interim Use Permit Required It shall be unlawful to operate any kennel unless an Interim Use Permit, with such permit designating a limit as to the number of dogs, to operate the same has been secured from the Town Board in advance. A Small Business Permit shall also be required for a Small Business Kennel prior to its establishment or operation. Any kennel not meeting the definitions herein is strictly prohibited. A. It shall be unlawful to operate any kennel unless an Interim Use Permit, with such permit designating a limit as to the number of dogs, to operate the same has been secured from the Town Board in advance. A Small Business Permit shall also be required for a Small Business Kennel prior to its establishment or operation. Any kennel not meeting the definitions herein is strictly prohibited. B. A private kennel that has between 4 and 6 dogs may be approved as a Limited Private Kennel upon the granting of a permit by the Town Board. Such permits are subject to the following requirements:

1. Limited private kennel permits shall specify any restrictions, limitations, conditions or prohibitions which the Town Board deems reasonably necessary to protect any person or neighboring use from unsanitary conditions, unreasonable noise or odors, annoyance, or to protect the public health or safety.

2. There shall be a fenced yard and/or proper dog enclosures present to prevent the running at large or escape of dogs confined therein.

3. The site shall be a minimum of 2.5 acres. 4. Operators of limited private kennels must remove all dog feces, on a daily basis, from

all enclosed dog runs or kennels, and must remove, on a daily basis, any accumulations of dog feces which are visible from any location outside the borders of that person's property.

5. A limited private kennel permit may be modified from time to time by the Town Board for failure to conform to required restrictions, limitations or prohibitions.

6. The Town Board may revoke a permit for violations of the terms of the permit or the Town Code. The operator of the limited kennel shall be given ten (10) days notice prior to the Town Board taking such action.

Proposed Fee: $100 Proposed Escrow: $600 Annual Fee: $35

OPTION 2: LIMITED SMALL BUSINESS KENNEL ORDINANCE Section 501.14: Kennels; Interim Use Permit Required It shall be unlawful to operate any kennel unless an Interim Use Permit, with such permit designating a limit as to the number of dogs, to operate the same has been secured from the Town Board in advance. A Small Business Permit shall also be required for a Small Business Kennel prior to its establishment or operation. Any kennel not meeting the definitions herein is strictly prohibited. A. It shall be unlawful to operate any kennel unless an Interim Use Permit, with such permit designating a limit as to the number of dogs, to operate the same has been secured from the Town Board in advance. A Small Business Permit shall also be required for a Small Business Kennel prior to its establishment or operation. Any kennel not meeting the definitions herein is strictly prohibited. B. A small business kennel that has between 4 and 6 dogs may be approved as a Limited Small Business Kennel and may operate on 2.5 acres of land rather than the required 10 acres for a small business permit. The procedure and review standards shall otherwise remain the same. Proposed Fee: $100 Proposed Escrow: $900 Annual Permit: $100

1. Annette Louise Friedheim. Current address 633 2nd Ave NW New Brighton, MN 55112

2. Property ID: 0903120110002 16740 Norell Ave N. Marine on St Croix

3 & 4. A site plan has been filed with the permit application including specifications for the house, garage, septic,well, driveway, lakefront & wetland

5. The proposed number of dogs is 6

6 & 7. The dogs will be kept in the home with access to a fenced yard

8. There will be no visitors specifically with regard to the dogs. All adoption visits will be done at another location

9. I have 4 dogs of my own that are pets. I may foster 1-2 dogs at any given time. I foster adult dogs, generally>5yr old. Most have been rescued from high kill shelters or from abandonment situations. I keep them in my homeas pets until they find a forever home with an adoptive family. In many cases I care for them following surgicalprocedures until they are sufficiently recovered & ready for adoption. I do not breed, sell, board, groom or traindogs. They are strictly family pets.

Thank you

Annette Friedheim

Hi Mr. Sparks,

Sorry the application was incomplete.

I am a foster for Midwest Animal Rescue. Most of the dogs come from shelters around the country. I amresponsible for evaluating, training & socializing dogs in preparation for their adoption as a family pet. The dogswill always be kept in my home with access to a fenced yard. I generally keep the dogs until they are adopted,unless they are moved to another foster home. Typically I take the dogs to meet potential adopting families,however occasionally a family might come to my home to meet a dog. I would never have more than 10 dogs at anygiven time.

Hope this is what you need.

Let me know if you have any questions

Thank you, Annette

Hi Nate. I have sent 2 emails with 3 pictures. One shows the house & fence plan. The other 2 are of the property with wetland designations. There will not be an outdoor kennel as the dogs will not be kept outside.
