N <br />Cn <br />a) <br />13.8 (B) Existing forested areas or any other healthy vegetation cannot may not be removed from a stream buffer, except where <br />f replaced with vegetation resulting in comparable stormwater runoff velocity and quantity one year after planting. <br />How would one go about demonstrating "comparable stormwater runoff velocity "? Is some documentation required? <br />Why is an EIS limited to 50 pages? <br />Comments submitted by: <br />A General Comments <br />General <br />Comment <br />Topic <br />Kennel <br />As I suspect you know, the County's Animal Control Ordinance includes kennel definitions and a permitting process for Class I <br />Standards <br />and Class Il Kennels. The County's Zoning Ordinance also includes kennel definitions and process fora kennel (or stable) to <br />obtain a special use permit (which requires one or possibly both of the permits issued Animal Control). <br />There is a need to better coordinate (and dare I say, unify) these ordinances. Some of the issues in regard to kennels include: <br />• Different definitions of Class I and Class II permits <br />• A lack of clarity as to whether a special use permit is required for Class I as well as Class II kennel <br />• A lack of clarity as to whether a special use permit is required for Class I under the Animal Control as well as the Zoning <br />Ordinance <br />• Possible process improvements in the permitting process for kennels requiring a special use permit. <br />Also, I think we should consider whether site plans for "riding stables /academies" should be subject to review by Animal Control. <br />One concern is the availability of staff expertise in this area. Another concern is that there are no specific stable standards in the <br />County's Animal Control Ordinances. By contrast, there are such standards for kennels which require permitting. <br />3 <br />1) Incorporated; 2) For further BOCC discussion; 3) Implementation Bridge — Possible future phases; 4) Suggesting no action <br />
