They are truly friendly people and provide a great <br />service to the community. There are many dog owners in the area who definitely need Sunny Acres to provide <br />the valuable exercise and playtime socialization to keep their dogs healthy and happy. <br />I understand that this long-established well-liked business had the proper Special Use permit when they fenced <br />in their exercise areas, but now they are being required to meet a 150' setback rule that wasn't even in place <br />when they installed these fences. <br /> <br />Please do whatever is necessary to change or fix the rules to allow these people to continue their valuable <br />service and contributions to the economic health of the community. It will surely be a travesty if these fine <br />people are forced to close a valuable local business even when they acted in good faith and in accordance with <br />all the rules. <br /> <br /> <br />Nick England <br />(also writing for Emma the springer spaniel) <br />811 Kenmore Rd <br />Chapel Hill NC 27514 <br />100
