The Board of Adjustment, hereinafter referred to as the "Board", having held a public hearing on November 8, 1991, an having fully considered all testimony, as well as Files CUE-18-91 & VE-20-91, do hereby make the following: PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Applicant requests permission to operate a private dog kennel (10 or fewer adult dogs) on property containing an existing personal residence. Section 14.616.240.5. of the Zoning Code of Spokane County allows this use upon issuance of a conditional use permit. Additionally, the applicant requests a variance to allow a 4 foot sight - obscuring fence; whereas, section 14.616.240.5.c. requires a 6 foot sight -obscuring fence associated with a private kennel. PROJECT LOCATION: Located in east Spokane County, east of and adjacent to Conklin Road and approximately 650 feet north of Valley Way, in the SE 1/4 of Section 13, Township 25N, Range 44 EWM; 602 N. Conklin Road. OPPONENTS OF RECORD: Diane Hunter Linda & Anthony Rockhold Shirley & Greg McManamon Dorothy Riegel Helen Sievert Shirley & Robert Torb mson FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The proposal is described above and detailed in documents contained in the file. 2. The adopted Spokane County Comprehensive Plan designates the area of the proposal as Urban. The proposal is generally consistent with the Urban category of the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The site is zoned Urban Residential-3.5, which allows the proposed use upon approval of this application. 4. The existing land uses in the area of the proposal include single family residential and some animal pasturing activities. Typically, uses listed as a conditional use are assumed as permitted in the underlying zone, subject to the listed conditions and any other conditions needed to assure compatibility. CASE NO. CUE-18-90SPOKANE COUNTY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT PAGE 2 5. The proposal is exempt from the provisions of the Washington State Environmental Policy Act, Chapter 43.21C RCW pursuant to WAC 197-11-800 (1) (c) and the Spokane Environmental Ordinance 11.10.070 (1) (c). 6. The proper legal requirements for advertising of the hearing before the Zoning Adjustor of Spokane County have been met. 7. The applicant has built a new porch/addition to the existing house to keep the dogs in. This addition is insulated and has a solid door according to testimony given by applicant. 8. The applicant has indicated that metal sheeting has been installed on the inside of the fence with the slatted chain link fence exposed on the outside. 9 . The applicants stated that they have seven cocker spaniels and that they do not intend to get more dogs or a larger breed of dogs. 10. The applicant has stated that 5 of 7 dogs have been debarked. CONCLUSIONS 1. Granting the variance for a 4 foot sight obscuring fence will not act or be materially detrimental to or injurious to property in the vicinity provided the breed of dog is cocker spaniels or other small breed of dog. 2. The proposal will not be detrimental to surrounding properties if operated consistent with this decision, Animal Control regulations and the Zoning Code. DECISION From the foregoing Findings and Conclusions, the Board of Adjustment APPROVES the appeal to grant a Conditional Use Permit for a Private Kennel. The Board also approves the variance to allow a 4 foot sight obscuring fence as conditioned herein. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL I. GENERAL 1. The following conditions shall apply to the applicant and owner. 2. Failure to comply with any of the conditions of approval contained in this decision shall constitute a violation of the Zoning Code for Spokane County and be subject to such enforcement as is appropriate. IL PLANNING DEPARTMENT RP/GA-APPEAL DEC/-CUE-18-90-EMMETT-12/4,91 CASE NO. CUE-18-90SPOKANE COUNTY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT -- PAGE 1. The proposal shall comply with all applicable standards of section 14.616.240.5 of the Zoning Code of Spokane County unless deviations, variances or exceptions have been lawfully granted. 2. This permit expires on December 1, 1993 unless renewed under the following terms: a. Application for an administrative renewal should be made by October 1, 1993. b. Small Animal Control must submit a report reviewing the operation of the kennel and a history of complaints from December 1, 1991 to application date. c. The permit must be renewed biannually by an administrative action unless the situation deteriorates to the point a hearing is needed to consider revoking or rescinding the permit. d. Only the present owner/applicant may apply for renewal. That is, this permit does not run with the land; it vests only in the applicant. 3. If the Zoning Adjustor believes there are extenuating circumstances associated with the renewal of the permit, he/she may cause there to be a public hearing and reconsideration of the permit; the expense shall be that of the county if such reconsideration takes place. 4. The applicant shall develop subject property generally in accordance within the concept presented to the Hearing Body. Variations, when approved by the Planning Director/designee, may be permitted, including, but not limited to building location, landscape plans and general allowable uses of the permitted zone.

This permit does not allow commercial boarding of dogs. 6. The 4 foot fence shall be constructed with metal sheets on the inside of the fence and chain link with slats on the outside, exposed to the outside surrounding properties. 7. This permit is only valid for the current small breed of dogs, cocker spaniels. A 4 foot fence would not be adequate for larger dogs. III. DIVISION OF BUILDINGS 1. The issuance of a building permit by the Division of Buildings is required for the addition to the existing house. IV. DIVISION OF UTILITIES None applicable.

PROJECT LOCATION: Located in east Spokane County, east of and adjacent to Conkhn Road and approximately 650 feet north of Valleyway, m the SE 1/4 of Section 13, Township 25 N, Range 44 EWM; 602 North Conkhn Road OPPONENTS OF RECORD: Dorothy C Riegel Anthony A.

Although tlus 1s a denial, based pnmanly upon non comphance wnth the required standards, the applicants can conceivably meet these standards and then possibly gaui approval through a subsequent application FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS 1. The proposal is descnbed above and detailed in documents contauaed u1 the file. 2. The adopted Spokane County Comprehensive Plan designates the area of the proposal as Urban The proposal 1s generally consistent with the Urban category of rhe Comprehensive Plan except that the Comprehensive Plan dzscourages actzvities zn the Urban category which would cause disruption to or be incompatible with the pzedomunate a.ntended ~ CASE NO CUE-18-91/VE-20-91 SPUKANE COL;fNTY ZONING ADNSTOR PAGE 2 . use of the Urban category, which use is residential. The applicants' present operation is disruptive to the verge of a nuisance Attention to reducing the barking noise through soundproofing and sight obscwnng fencing and animal waste clean up may reposition the apphcants for approval ul the future 3 The site is zoned Urban Residential-3.5, which allows the proposed use upon approval of ttus application. 4. The existtng land uses in the area of the proposal include suigle fa,muly residenaal and some animal pasturing acavities Typically, uses hsted as a condi.tional use are assumed as pemnitted in the underlyuig zone, subject to the listed condinons and any other conditions need to assure compatibility in the given instance. But, pursuant to 14.404.101, the requested condidonal use pernmt may be denied if the Heanng Body cannot find that the requested use will be compatible unth other pernutted uses. Secrion 14.616.240 S. hsts certain conditions to achieve compatibihty, some of wluch the Hearuig Body may exercise nominal d.iscretion to achieve the overall intent of compatibility with surrounding propemes Cleariy, 14.404.102 allows the Hearing Body ta impose any and all manner of addinonal conditions and reqturements in an effort to aclueve maximum compatibility In the instant situation several factors bear on consideration of ttus conditional use pemnit a. The pnvate kennel standards include subparagraph "c.", which states in part that the "...yard area shall be enclosed with a six foot (6)-foot sight-obscuring fence, board on board or cyclone with slats. (emphases added.) The applicants have asked for a variance to allow a four (4) foot sight-obscunrig fence. The evaluation of this requested variance will be dealt with below. However, the fence is to be sight obscwnng and cyclone wnth slats is mentxoned in the Code. The apphcants have installed some slats m the exisang four (4) foot cyclone (chaui link) fence However, the verti.cal slats wluch have been installed the only provide about a 50% sight-obscunng pattern, thus not complying with the standard. The apphcants described that some solid aluncunum matenal was beuig ereeted m a test fashion on a pornon of the south fence. This would ceztainly be sight-obscunng, but, the property owner to the south objects to its aesthetic appearance The Code dces not address aesthetic appearance specif'ically, but, it is addressable as we try to achieve compatibihty through the standards and conditions of approval. At dus point the apphcants have not demonstrated that a sight-obscuring fence will be installed, regardless of whether it is four feet or six feet. The aluminum matenal which is described as being installed is, in the opinion of the Zonulg Adjustor, one which is not amacnve on the side which will be faced toward the property to the south and will likely have a dilaterious effect on that property and generally not be compaable with the property to the south In this instance, the apphcants have failed to submit adequate uiformation to clearly deternnne that a site obscurmg fence of a suitable aesthetic appearance is intended to be installed; thus, compliance wnth subsection "k." of the pnvate kennel standard has not been compiled with. b In subsection "d." it snpulates that, "The structure(s) housing the anunals...shall be adequatety soundproof to meet WAC 173-60 as deternuned by the noise levels for the aYUmals to be kept dunng a normal operaaon. Certainly the intent of this is that there be reasonable, if not substantial, efforts on the part of the apphcants to demonstrate that the dogs will be kept in a relatively soundproof location dunrig the RP/GA-C[J&18-91/VE-24-91FlNDINGS-9/13/91 • r CA.SE NO: CUE-18-91/VE-20-91 SPOKANE ,COI.TNTY ZONING A.DNSTOR PAGE 3 .L~ t!. lL 1 I required hours (10 p.m to 6 a m) Nearly everyone who testif'ied at the heanng was against granting the condiuonal use pemnit and described hearing the applicants' dogs barking during the night time hours. These comments are too much to ignore after the Zoiung Adjustor had specifically questioned the apphcants about theu faclhties for confimng the dogs during the rught The apphcants descnbed the confinement as bemg on the back porch, which porch has a wooden Iower part, glass windows and an alumunum storm/screen door. Tlus is intended to be a permanent location for four of the seven dogs, as the applicants said there are heat lamps used during the wlnter in order to keep the dogs warm. Numerous comments regarding barking dog noise at night uidicate that not only is the sound of the barking dogs heard by su.rrounding neighbors at night, the dogs are obviously able to hear noises which disturb them and cause them to bark. The Zoning Adjustof's opuuon is that the spuYt and intent of subsection "d." of the private kennel standards is not met and, therefore, the apphcant has failed agaun to comply vvith subparagraph "k " which requires adequate mformaxion be submittecl to determine that the vanous standards are satisfied. Furthernaore• i. The apphcants testlf'ied that the dogs are first let out of their confinement at approximately 5 a.m. to 5:30 a.m, an hour to one-half hour pnor to the ti.me set forth in the Zoning Code subsection "e " ii. The applicants also stated that the dogs are out all day long and that there is frequendy not a supervising adult present dunng the day to control the dogs or put them ulside if they begin uncontrolled barlang ui. The Anunal Control Office reports that one barking complauit was received March 3, 1990, pnor to the application. An August, 1991, inspection determined the operation met the reqwrements of the Anunal. Control Ordinance regarduig kennels. 5. The above circumstances (descnbed in number 4) substantiate a denial of this condltional use perrnit pursuant to Section 14.404.101 of the Zoning Code, whereul it says that a request for conditional use may be derued where it cannot be shown that the request would be companble wxth other pernutted uses in the zone Zoning Adjustor's opuuon here is that enou,gh uiformanon has, not been submitted, and did not come forth in the hearing, to indicate that tius particular pnvate kennel proposal is or can be made compatible with the surroundulg neighborhood and pernrutted uses in the UR-3 5 zone. That is not to say that the applicants cannot resubmlt an apphcation in which the issues of noise and sight-obscuring fencing could be adequately answered. It is just that the Zoning Adjustor is not in a position to imagine the solution and, based on past expenence with kennel proposals, is not willing to approve an apphcation far a private kennel on the presumption that problems can be overcome. The history in tlus area of the Code dces not demonstrate that such an approval is a wise decision Clearly the applicants need is to demonstrrate before hand that they are in compliance or that a sohd plan exists (possibly with bonchng to enswre performance) to comply vvith the standards for a pnvate kennel. 6 The proposal is exempt from the provisions of the Washuigton State Environmental Pohcy Act, Chapter 43.21C RCW pursuant to WAC 197-11-800 (1) (c) and the Spokane Envuonmental Orc~nance 11.10 070 (1) (c) RP/GA-CU&18-91 NE-20-91 FMINGS-9/13A 1 ~ .

There are special circumstances apphcable to the property in that the four (4) foot tall fence praedates the applicant`s interest m estabhshing a pnvate kennel Additionally, atthough not relevant to the property, a particular physical stature of the dogs involved makes a four (4) foot site-obscuring fence able to accomphsh the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code b The simple height of the fence at four (4) feet will not act or be matenally detnmental to or injunous tfl property in the vicuuty. c Requinng that a six (6) foot tall fence replace the four (4) foot or that a two (2) foot a.ddition be added to the four (4) foot tall fence would be unreasonable 1n hght of the purpose to be served by a six (6) foot fence However, if other dogs were associated with the property, tall enough to see over the fence, this would be a problem and the vanance may not be valid for other types of dogs 9. Adverse tesiinaony or wntten comments were receYVed regarding the proposal as follows: a. Comments regarding the unattractive fence, both in the form of a slatted fence and the qtempts to utilize solid pieces of alununum were mennoned. b. Odor from anvmal waste has been a problem in the past and the usual routine of the apphcants was to clean up waste approxunately only once a week. ('The apphcants contend that the animal waste is cleaned up on a daily basis and kept in plastxc bags for pick up by garbage dzsposal). c. The dogs are disturbed by people walking up and down the street because fencing, as previously existed or as it now exists, does not satisfy the sight-obscunng need. d Numerous people reported filing complauits with the Anunal Control Office, ui conflict with the Anunal Control Office havuzg record of only one registered complauit. e Even slight noise disturbances at rught will set the dogs off and the dogs can be heard from cons2derable distance away. The back porch where four (4) of the dogs are kept is nat sufficient or adequate to subdue the noise and mamtann noise control. (The applicants contend that the dogs do not bark at any noise or at slamrmng doors. Apphcants contend that the dogs do not bark at night, sulce it would awaken them as well.) f. Oppanents of record also identified that the apphcants yelling at the dogs was as disturbing as the dogs barking themselves RP/GA-CUS 18-91 /VE-20-91 FMINGS-9/13/91 1 CASE NO. CUE-18-91/VE-20-91 SPOK:ANE COI;rNTY ZONING ADJUSTOR PAGE 5 g. Opponents of record complained that the dogs were left out at ttmes when persons are gone over the weekend. ('The applicants contested that ttus occurred very frequently, possibly only one or two times). DECISION From the foregoing Findings and Conclusions, the Zoning Adjustor DENIES the conditianal use pernut proposal and recognizes the variance request is approvable ff the conditional use pernait is to be ultimately approved. The followuig observations are made for the benefit of all parnes involved: 1. If the applicants resubmit this application, they should specifically deal wzth effecave measures to control the dogs barlang dunmg the day and night, givmg pamcular attention to reduculg the visual contact which excites the dogs to bark dunng the day and adequately sequester the dogs at rught so they are nnvaimally incluied to start barlang at rught and disturb surroundulg residents with that barking. 2. The variance is granted in pnnciple; but, is practLcally speaking, denied because a conditional use permit is not approved. 3. It is noted that at Ieast a four (4) foot tall d.iagonal fence will have to be erected at a distance 50 feet from the corner of the house to the south ui order to comply with the provisxons for pnvate kennels. 4. Unless a subsequent application is received and approved for a pnvate kennel or the apphcant appeals ttus denial of theu application to the Board of Adjustment and it is subsequently approved, the apphcant does not have authonty to mauitain more than four (4) dogs at thxs residence. 5 Any zoning enforcement acnon vvith respect to the number of dogs on the property must be commenced through noimal Planning Department zomng violaaon processes. The Zorung Adjustor does not start zorung enforcement. DATED this ~ day of September, 1991 ~ THO G.
