addressed.
Cannon said he didn't anticipate much water. He said the primary parking would
be towards the east, or closer to the Stallard and Stevenson property. Cannon said the
parking area towards the west side would be for the staff. He said there would be
minimal surface water runoff. Additionally, he said three or four residences north of
Ellenburg Drive might have a lower elevation, but no matter what business was located at
the site, there would be some natural runoff.
Commissioner Williams asked if a water stream was on the Stallard property.
Mr. Stallard said yes, and the stream came across his property, then under
Ellenburg Road (drain pipe), and then back to his property across the "back third."
Commissioner Williams asked if Dr. Cartner intended to pave the parking lot.
Cannon said he would do what was necessary to provide minimal impact to the
people towards the south side. Mr. Cannon said the county would probably impose or
identify the necessities. He said, however, this was a minimal issue.
Commissioner Williams asked about the noise level. He said with enclosed
kennels, the only noise occurring might be from hospitalized (overnight) animals.
Williams asked if the facility would be sound proof.
Cannon said it was an enclosed area, and the animal population, at the most,
would be around 15. He said the facility would be of solid construction, and if the Stony
Point facility could be used as a business indicator, then the Scotts Creek Road would be
fine with no noise. Cannon said a buffer would also help -- 35 foot setback line that
would probably be doubled for the building.
Commissioner Robertson said previously the commissioners had denied the
request due to concerns about the runoff, the odor, and the noise. He said that under the
conditions, the facility would not have open kennels. Robertson asked if a maximum of
15 animals would be kept at any given time.
Cannon said 15 would be the average census with 20 being the maximum.
Commissioner Robertson asked if there might be 15 on the inside with 5 on the
outside chained to a tree.
Cannon said all animals would be in an enclosure.
Commissioner Robertson asked how the excrement would be disposed of when
the animals were outside exercising.
Dr. Cartner said the waste was picked up and disposed of in a proper waste
container. He said the parking lot would be paved. Dr. Cartner said nothing would be on
the land that would degrade the neighboring properties. He said the lay of the land
coming off the Interstate and Scotts Creek Road emptied onto Mr. Stallard's property,
and if anyone needed to be concerned about runoff, then it should be Mr. Stallard, who
was actually in favor of the request. Dr. Cartner advised of being an "ecological
environmentalist," and he said the runoff would be minimal.
Commissioner Williams asked about interior noise.
Cartner said there was a special concrete product being made that reduced noise.
He stressed that the animals would be in a totally enclosed structure.
