Kennel license, animal control discussed in River Heights

By Diane Taylor

RIVER HEIGHTS -- The Planning Commission met Tuesday night and reviewed Mike and Aura Dee Larsen's kennel conditional use permit which is reviewed annually.

The commission found that the permit regulations had been followed. The Larsens although had received citations in the past year for violation of city laws.

The commission discussed with Trina Larsen, daughter of Mike and Aura Dee, the possibility of fencing the yard for better containment of the yard. Trina was unsure of making the change because they do keep the dogs in a kennel.

Because of these citations the commission concluded that the permit would stand as it is but would be reviewed and they will discuss again in two weeks.

The commission began their review of the animal control ordinance. The commission discussed animal waste removal procedure and leash laws.

The commission closed the meeting and will continue with the review of the animal control ordinance in two weeks.
