Chairwoman Gabry asked Mr. Boorady if animals that do not need medical care will be boarded at the hospital. Mr. Williams said that only animals who are existing patients will be able to be boarded there. Mr. Williams stated that the reason they are asking for the area to be fenced in is because some of the dogs have the ability to break loose. Mr. Neuer asked Mr. Boorady why they would need three areas to walk the dogs if there is already an existing gravel path in the back. Mr. Boorady said that most dogs will be walked on the gravel path. He said that the fenced in area is for the larger dogs that are harder to handle and have the ability to break loose from their leash. Mr. Boorady said that it is for the dog’s security to make sure that they are safe. Mr. Neuer asked Mr. Boorady the procedure for cleaning up after the animals; Mr. Boorady said that it is immediate, He said that once the dog is walked it is picked up immediately. Mr. Bullock asked Mr. Boorady the age of the house that is being removed; Mr. Boorady said that it was built in 1930 or 1940 and that it is roughly 75 years old.

Mr. Neuer asked if the “pretty side” of the fence will face out; Mr. Boorady said the fence is the same on both sides. Chairwoman Gabry said that she did not see a gate on the fenced in area on the plans and asked Mr. Boorady if there was a gate, Mr. Boorady said there is a gate being proposed on the right side of the addition.
