Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 10, 2020 Page 4 of 6 Hoover mentions that at other locations for this business, there has been no previous need for overflow parking. On average there are only four or five families dropping off their dogs at once. Commissioner Questions of Applicant: Diehl asks what their process is for the disposal of dog waste. Hoover says that solid waste is picked up immediately and disposed into the dumpster. The dumpster will be picked up on the specific day that is scheduled through Waste Management. It is a standard covered dumpster though. Inside, we use a foaming cleanser/cleaner disinfectant that is wiped down. We do not use any hoses for cleanup. Howe mentions that the entryway seems very narrow. A separate exit/entry is helpful for any emergency situations. He asks if they considered having that. Hoover says that they did not consider that, but this floor plan is a replicate of other business locations and there have not been issues with the narrow entryway or not having a separate exit/entry. Howe asks if they received any feedback from adjacent neighbors. Hoover says they had a public outreach meeting at the library but nobody showed up for it. They were in contact with the neighbors to the north of them who share the easement and they had no issues with their proposal. Public Comment: None is heard. Closing Statement by Staff None is heard. Closing Statement by Applicant: None is heard. Discussion by Commissioners: Williams says that she thinks it is a good project and a great location. She is looking forward to seeing how successful it will be and is satisfied with the parking. Diehl believes it is an excellent idea and project. They did a good job in following the guidelines and he is fine with the waiver they are requesting. Moline agrees with his fellow commissioners and thinks this is a good spot for this type of use. Howe says that it is a good proposal and he supports the waiver. He mentions that he would love if they would consider using compostable trash bags and hopes that they consider having a separate entry and exit way. Hoefner agrees with the commissioners and supports the project.
