Public hearing to consider a request for a conditional use permit to operate a dog kennel in the Primary Agriculture District by Sean and Jennifer Killen, owners on a parcel of land located in the NE ¼ of the NE ¼ of Section 3, T26N, R17W, Town of Ellsworth, Pierce County. Chairperson Barkla invited Sean and Jennifer Killen forward. Ms Killen explained they have several adult dogs and one litter of puppies at this time and would like to have more breeding pairs. For that reason they need approval for a kennel. The dogs are kept in kennels in their basement and a large fenced in area. Town of Ellsworth Supervisors approved their facility, provided they abide by the Town’s ordinance and install an air exchanger in the basement for health reasons. Holst specified a dog is not considered a dog until it is six months of age. Staff Report - Jim Kleinhans: Applicant is requesting a conditional use to operate a kennel out of their home to breed labradoodle puppies for sale. Their property is zoned Primary Agriculture where kennels are conditionally permitted uses. The residence is located close to the middle of a 17.6 acre parcel. Setbacks to the building comply with the code considering that the dwelling is 175 feet from the south property line and the kennel is located on the north side of the 52 foot wide home. Their children are active in raising the dogs and belong to the Pierce County 4H Dog Project. Adjoining neighbors to the north and south submitted signed statements with no objection to the operation of a kennel. Town of Ellsworth Supervisors recommended approval
with concerns about fencing and ventilation in the basement. There are double fences around the area so the dogs will not be loose. Staff determined that the well location does not comply with WI Administrative Code which requires 50 foot separation standard for dog kennels having more than 3 adult dogs. The well is located 36 feet from the building/kennel. This is the only issue that couldn’t be resolved here and applicants would have to contact the DNR for a variance to that requirement. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Land Management Committee approve this request for a dog kennel with the following conditions: 1. More than 10 adult dogs shall not be kept at this facility unless the LMC amends this condition in the future. 2. This facility shall maintain compliance with Town of Ellsworth licensing and animal control ordinance. 3. Dogs shall be housed by 9:00 P.M. 4. This conditional use shall be renewed in two years. Renewal may be completed administratively if no compliance issues are present. 5. Any advertising signage must comply with Pierce County Zoning code requirements. 6. The Department of Natural Resources shall be contacted to resolve the well setback to the kennel. Public hearing opened. No public input. Public hearing closed. Holst moves to approve the conditional use permit for a dog kennel with conditions #1 – 6/Nellessen seconds. All in favor. Motion approved. Public hearing to consider a request for two conditional use permits for farm and home based businesses for Vino in the Valley and Retail Sales and Farmer’s Market on property owned by Larry Brenner, located in the SW ¼ of the NE ¼ in Section 33, T26N, R16W Town of EL Paso, Pierce County. Chairperson Barkla invited Larry Brenner forward. Mr. Brenner provided comments on plans to create a unique business on his farm that he, family and friends have cleaned up over the years. Nine of his fourteen neighbors support his proposal. He supplied the Land Management Committee with 40 to 50 letters in support of his business venture. The recommended conditions are suitable and he is more than willing to come back to this committee in 6 months with a status report. Promotions include weekly dinner with wine and light music provided by violin, grand piano and guitar. He is willing to let local residents utilize his land and facilities to market their farm products. All of this is located out of or above the floodplain of the Rush River. Larry explained he has never refused people access to use his property and he feels this is an opportunity to share the beauty of the valley. Harrington asked if there is going to be live music. Mr. Brenner stated there will be acoustic guitar, violin and grand piano nothing overly amplified. Harrington asked if there could be a band shell to muffle the noise. Mr. Brenner stated that the actual stage itself is in a hill and faces the east and that has been discussed. Chairperson Barkla asked about the retail sales and farmer’s market, you are anticipating having off sale of your wine? Mr. Brenner stated just wine. Regarding off sale liquor
