Attachment E <br />September 29, 2010 <br />Molly Redmond and Steve Ring <br />1455 Rose Place <br />(Email to Community Development Director, Pat Trudgeon) <br />Hi Pat, <br />Steve and I have the following concerns/questions re the Woof Room. Most of them deal with the <br />proposed outside play yard of the facility. <br />1. What are their plans for sanitation? I note that their surfaces proposed are astroturf and some sort of <br />pebbles. The realities of trying to clean up dog feces make me quite doubtful that these surfaces could be <br />satisfactorily cleaned. <br />2. If high pressure hoses were going to be used for sanitation, where does the contaminated water go? <br />Directly into the storm sewer? Is the drain size adequate for high volumes of feces-polluted water? Is <br />there more than one drain? <br />3. What would be the hours the outdoor yard would be in use? If it's an overnight kennel, what will late <br />hours for dogs going out be? <br />4. From our house east to the end of the street, 5 out of 6 homes on the north side of the street have dogs <br />frequenting our back yards. The company's vague prospectus just explains that dog barking will not be a <br />problem...this strikes us as naive at best. <br />5. Our house and the Solberg house to our east are still looking into that ridiculous gap in the privacy <br />fence, where the fences are 15 feet away from each other, giving us a clear and ugly view of the <br />industry. Will this plan fix that bizarre gaffe? <br />6. What code items, exactly, cause the need for the interim permit request? <br />7. Would there be any protection afforded the few remaining trees near the privacy fence? <br />8. Would there be any setback required from the property line for the outdoor play yard? <br />9. Would there be any maximum of dogs set? <br />Frankly, we found the industry materials most non-informative about real potential for problems, and no <br />real solutions in case these problems arise...these omissions make me wonder if the applicants have any <br />experience with this sort of business, or with any business dealing with dogs. <br />Sincerely, <br />Molly Redmond & Steve Ring <br />^ --� <br />Page 1 of 6 <br />
