File Name / No.: Roller Additional Animals Permit / LUA13-001447, AAP NAME: ______________________________________________________________ ___ MAILING ADDRESS: ________________ City/State/Zip: __________ _ TELEPHONE NO.: __________________________ __ //~I!-/Y To Gerald Wasser, AP, DoC&ED, This is concerning the approval of Additional Animals Permit for Nancy Roller, Project Number LUA13 -001447, AAP. In reference to their request for more dogs, I am familiar with their barking dogs in the past. The past has shown that even four dogs on the property has impacted the neighborhood. When I would go into my backyard, one or more of the dogs starts barking (over 80% of the time) to the point that I didn't (don't) even want to be out there. At one pqint in time I had 9 dogs on my North property line and 1 on my West and 1 . f s;ee,.a days, on South. I work mghts and my bedroom is on the northeast side of my house, which is adjacent to the applicant's property. When one dog would start barking, all the rest (including the other dogs in the neighborhood) would join in and continued barking every 3 to 5 seconds ( I timed it) for at least a half an hour to an hour at a time. Understand that I am not against dogs, just the ones that are allowed to bark constantly.( I have one, he only barks when he needs to go out, or come in, or if someone is at the door. I make it point to keep mine check. I know that owners can or will tune out the dogs barking; but the rest of the neighbors should not have to try to. If they want that many dogs for a business, then they should move them to a business district. I value the peace and quiet of this neighborhood and would like to see it stay that way. P.S. I would like to remain anonymous, only known as "a neighbor". ( I don't need any kind of retaliation) Thank you for taking your time in this matter. Robert Kelly -"l~.<f R & L KELLY ;lj:\;.
