Recommendations/Options/Action Requested:

 

Approve request to install approximately 6,110 square feet of artificial turf for a fenced outdoor play area for a proposed dog day care/kennel use at 1735 Haskell Avenue: SP-18-00408. Submitted by Grob Engineering Services, LLC for Big J Properties, property owners of record. 

 

Executive Summary:

 

A site plan was recently submitted to convert the vacant building at 1735 Haskell Avenue into a dog day care use, which would be classified as a Kennel. The site plan proposes an outdoor play area of approximately 6,110 square feet to be surfaced with artificial turf.

 

City Code requires any use of artificial turf to be approved by the City Commission. Section 18-402 states that it may be installed if:

·         It is of limited, small scale use; and

·         After application is made for such use to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Department and approved by the City Commission.

 

This is a commercial application of artificial turf in a limited area, located in a fenced play area on the west and south sides of the building.
