If there are no other comments or issues to be brought forward, this is a case that is being brought forward by Mr. <br />Gene Lonsway. Schmitt read the following: <br /> <br />Mr. Gene Lonsway, owner/operator of Canine College, is requesting the issuance of a Class B Special Use Permit <br />to allow for the development and operation of a Class II Kennel at 719 New Hope Church Road. <br />As detailed within the application, Mr. Lonsway is seeking to construct a 3,200 square foot boarding/training building <br />to house up to twenty (20) dogs as well as a 1,600 square foot storage building. The project also involves the <br />fencing in of a 1,800 square foot area of the property to serve as an exercise area for the animals. <br />Access to the proposed facility is proposed to be through an existing driveway onto New Hope Church Road. <br />Mr. Lonsway is proposing to reside within an existing single-family residence already located on the property to <br />provide twenty-four hour care for the animals boarded at the facility. <br /> <br />Nick Herman: We call Mr. Tony Whitaker. <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: All the folks who will offer testimony today, can you come forward. <br /> <br />Robert Maitland: Mr. Chairman, one of the logistical is that some of the neighbors won’t be here until they get off work so the <br />folks that are here can be sworn but some of the others would be sworn in later. Is that okay? <br /> <br />Nick Herman: I have list of the people who are anticipating coming. <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: If you have not signed up already, make sure you do sign to testify after we swear in. <br /> <br />Individuals sworn in 25 26 27 <br />28 <br />29 30 31 <br />32 <br />33 34 35 <br />36 <br />37 38 39 <br />40 <br />41 42 43 <br />44 <br />45 46 <br />47 <br />48 <br />49 50 <br />51 <br />52 <br />53 <br />Harold Southerland <br />Tom Trolley <br />Kevin Morley <br />Mark Hance <br />Christie Boros <br />Joan M.
