(50% reduction) This OWES Construction Permit is approved on the condition of compliance with the engineer design as submitted with the application and the specifications cited above. Changes must be approved by this Department and the engineer prior to construction. This OWT system is designed for a 3 -bedroom main residence plus a 2 -bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit and an office for a landscaping company. The office will have 3 full-time employees and up to 15 offsite worker who will be at the office during the beginning and end of their shifts. The floor plans for the office, ADU, and main residence shall be submitted to this office for verification once they have been completed. The system will have sewage from the office, ADU, and house flowing via gravity to a 2000 -gallon 2 -compartment concrete septic tank with a driveway rated lid. The effluent from the tank will then be gravity fed to a 500 -gallon pump tank (driveway rated if located in the driveway) which will pump effluent, via 2° SCH 40 pipe, to a distribution box. The effluent will then flow via gravity from the distribution box to a 90 quick -4 chamber soil treatment area (6 rows of 15 chambers). A profile hole will be excavated next to the soil treatment area to verify the results of the percolation test. If the soil conditions differ from the perc test, stop work and call the engineer and environmental health department. Otherwise, if the soil conditions are consistent and no groundwater/bedrock is present, a comment in the final approval letter stating so is acceptable. The following minimum setbacks to the soil treatment area must be maintained: 11 O' to any well (the well next to the residence must be abandoned), 60' to any pond, stream, or irrigation ditch, 20' to the residence and ADU, 10' to the property line, and 35' to a dry gulch. The tanks shall be a minimum of 5' to any structure. This Permit must be kept on-site during installation. The engineer must do a final inspection of the installation and submit an "as -built" letter to this Department within 30 days of the final inspection, unless a longer period of time has been agreed upon, in writing. This Department must also be called for the final inspection with a minimum of 48 hours notice. Minimum horizontal distances between components of the system and physical features shall conform to the requirements of the Pitkin County OWES Regulation. This Permit is conditioned upon the property owner(s) providing for regular inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the system by qualified personnel, in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and the requirements of the Pitkin County OWES Regulation. Issuance of this OWTS Construction Permit does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or representation by the Department that the system will operate property or will not fail. Issuance of this permit does not imply compliance with Pitkin County building and/or land use regulations, nor guarantee issuance of building and/or land use permits. THIS PERMIT IS EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON COMPLIANCE WITH ALL REQUIREMENTS OF THE PITKIN COUNTY OWTS REGULATION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED ABOVE. Plans and specifications for the proposed OWTS have been reviewed and are considered satisfactory. Permission is hereby given to the property owner(s) to perform the work indicated in accordance with the Pitkin County OWTS Regulation.

Stutzman Gerbaz installed the system. A condition of the design dated April 17, 2013 and OWTS Construction Permit Number 0012.2013.powt dictated that an additional profile pit be excavated prior to installation of the absorption area. ALL SERVICE septic, LLC observed this profile pit on May 17, 2013. The profile pit consisted of 2 -feet of medium brown sandy loam to a depth of 2 -feet, underlain by light brown, loose, sandy gravel with small cobbles to a depth of 4 -feet, underlain by light brown, loose sandy gravel with cobbles 6 to 12 -inches in diameter to a depth of 7 -feet, underlain by light brown, loose, gravelly sand to a depth of 8 -feet. Groundwater or bedrock was not encountered. These findings were consistent with sizing of the OWTS. i 0 0 The installation of the OWTS included a new 2000 -gallon, two-compartment Valley Precast septic tank followed by a pump chamber with an Orenco® Biotube Pump Vault. The pump and Biotube Pump Vault had not been installed at the time of our observation. Valley Precast installed the pump vault and performed the pump start-up on April 3, 2014. There is an effluent filter on the outlet tee of the septic tank and another effluent filter surrounding the pump. These filters must be cleaned annually, or as needed. The pump line from the dosing chamber to the distribution box appeared to be well -bedded, with good drain -back from the distribution box. Effluent is pumped to the distribution box, accessible from grade, and gravity flows to six gravelless chamber trenches, each with 15 `Quick 4' Infiltrator® chambers for a total of 90 `Quick 4' Infiltrator® chambers and 888 square feet of absorption area. There was greater than 6 -feet of undisturbed soil between each trench. The well near the existing residence was abandoned (see enclosed Well Abandonment Report). Installation of a water meter is still recommended, specifically on the office water line, to accurately monitor water use. The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of workmanship and/or parts and materials. ALL SERVICE septic, LLC should be notified if changes are made to the OWTS in the future. Any additional OWTS construction must be according to the county regulations. LIMITS: Observations are limited to components that are visible at the time of the inspection. The installer must have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in which they are working. The quality of the installation is dependent of the expertise of the installer, soil type, and weather conditions. Please call with questions. Sincerely, ALL SERVICE septic, LLC 0,.

The property is located outside of Aspen, in an area where OWTS and wells are necessary. SITE CONDITIONS A single-family residence, kennel building, and former veterinary clinic presently exists and is utilizing an existing OWTS. There is a desire to upgrade the existing OWTS to accommodate the redevelopment of the property. There are two wells on the property. The well located near the residence must be abandoned prior to using the new OWTS. There are three large trees in the proposed absorption area. Two of these trees will be removed and there is a desire to retain the tree closest to the highway. There is also a ditch that runs adjacent to the highway. This ditch diminishes on the as it approaches the driveway from the northeast. The ditch will need to maintain a 90 -foot setback from the absorption area OR will need to be lined within 90 -feet of the absorption area. There are proposed cottonwood trees near the proposed absorption area. We recommend native vegetation, without tap roots, not needing minimal irrigation for establishment or maintenance. SUBSURFACE There were three percolation holes and one profile hole excavated in the field to the north of the existing residence. These holes were excavated sometime in the last 10 years. We were unable to acquire documentation from the previous soil test, but we obtained a soil sample from the profile hole, which was approximately 4 to 5 -feet in depth at the time of the sampling. The sample was obtained from approximately 3 -feet below native glade. A gradation and hydrometer analysis was conducted by HP Geotech and the results are detailed in a report dated March 20, 2013 which shows the soil consists of 27% gravel, 24% sand, 27% silt, and 12% clay. A long term acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.90 gal/sq. ft will be used to design the OWTS. An additional profile hole, adjacent to the proposed absorption area must be excavated and observed by ALL SERVICE septic, LLC prior to installation of the absorption area. M 1-1 L DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS Page 2 The OWTS design is based on 3 -bedrooms in the residence, a 2 -bedroom CDU, and office space consisting of a toilet, hand sink, and kitchen sink for use by 3 office employees and 15 additional field employees. A total average daily wastewater flow of 1020 GPD will be used, with 270 GPD calculated for the office, based on fixture count and the estimated number of employees. Installation of a water meter is recommended, specifically on the office water line, in case of fluctuation in employee numbers and fixture use. The installation must include a 2000 -gallon, two-compartment septic tank with an effluent filter in the second compartment and a 500 -gallon dosing chamber with a pump. A flow splitter basin or distribution box will be used to distribute effluent to six gravelless chamber trenches. Each trench will consist of 15 `Quick 4' Infiltrator® chambers for a total of 90 gravelless chambers. There must be at least 6 -feet of undisturbed soil between each trench. Construction must be according to Pitkin County Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Regulations, the OWTS Construction Permit provided by Pitkin County Environmental Health Department, and this design. OPERATION INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE The property owner shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of each OWTS servicing the property. The property owner is responsible for maintaining service contracts for manufactured units, alternating absorption systems, and any other components needing maintenance. The surface of the drain field should be seeded upon completion. Vegetation is an important factor in drain field performance. Erosion control should be practiced prior to and during re -vegetation. Geo - fabrics or plastics should not be used over the drain Feld. No heavy equipment, machinery, or materials should be placed on backfilled drain field. Livestock should not graze on the drain field. Plumbing fixtures should be checked to ensure that no additional water is being discharged to OWTS. For example, a running toilet or leaky faucet can discharge hundreds of gallons of water a day and harm a drain field. The homeowner should pump the septic tank every two years, or as needed gauged by measurement of solids in the tank. Garbage disposal use should be minimized, and non -biodegradable materials should not be placed into the OWTS. Grease should not be placed in household drains. Loading from a water softener should not be discharged into the OWTS. No hazardous wastes should be directed into the OWTS. Mechanical room drains should not discharge into the OWTS. The OWTS is engineered for domestic waste only. ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES If design includes a pump, air release valves and weep holes should be installed to allow pump lines to drain to minimize risk of freezing. Excavation equipment must not drive in excavation of drain field due to the potential to compact soil. Extensions should be placed on all septic tank components to allow access to them from existing grade. Precast concrete tanks and distribution boxes should be used, unless plastic or fiberglass is required. Access to all tank compartments and distribution devices is optimal.

They want to keep it a kennel, though she had no specifics such as if there would be a vet there,etc. I said we would require a new septic system before they could do anything. We have no record of what is there and Church engineers could not determine what is there and had several years ago starred soil testing for a permittable system. They would have to determine wt they want to do fust so the system could be sized correctly. I also mentioned that we have a noise orhace. I told her to call you to see what zoning would allow.

Found to be clean Lance, Nothing has been done on the property regarding the septic system issue. Below is a summary of events. Maybe they need a letter of violation from zoning instead of me writing them letters extending their deadlines. I have the file at my desk if anyone wants to see it. Approval was granted to the BOCC for this property pursuant to Resolution No. 98-175. A subsequent approval was granted by the BOCC pursuant to Resolution No. 99-143 for some minor changes to Resolution No. 98-175 including extending the time documentation of the septic system was to be submitted to the Environmental Health Department. Anyway, as part of the approval granted by Resolution No. 98-175, condition 4 read that 'prior to October 12, 1998, the Applicant sball provide to the Environmental Healtb Department doemmeniation that the septic gstem is adequate for the uses on the site. In addition, condition No. 7 read that 'The Applicant shall submit a ktter annually, by October 1st, to the Community Development Department regarding the AVVH operation documenting compliance oath the conditions of this approwL.." This has never been done since approval. Pursuant to Resolution No. 99-143, condition 4 amended condition 4 of Resolution No. 98-175 and read as follows: "the Applicant shall provide documentation to the Environmental Health Department regarding the existing septic system by November 15, 1999." Nothing with respect to finalizing the septic system has been done to date. I sent letter to Dr. Games, dated September 28, 2000, that the information they provided to Environmental Health from Roto -Rooter was not sufficient and that they were not in compliance with the resolution of approval, that they had until November 1, 2000 to submit the correct information to the Environmental Health Department. Nothing was submitted. I sent them another letter, dated December 18, 2000, about the unresolved issue with the septic system. We extended the deadline until January 2, 2001 and stated that if nothing was done a red -tag was to be issued. Dr. Games stated that some engineering firm was working with the Environmental Health Department, however, no documentation has ever been submitted. a 0 Printed for Nancy MacKenzie <nancym@ci.aspen.co.us> 02/26/2002 Tamara Pregl, 05:54 PM 02/22 , Re: Fwd: Aspen Valley Vet Hosle Page 2 of 3 This issue keeps coming up, but not has been resolved.

In addition, as part of your Special Review, an annual letter is required to be submitted documenting compliance to or any changes to your Special Review permit. Approval for your Special Review was granted on September 9, 1998, and staff has not received any letters since approval.

A copy of the letter outlining the additional information requested by the Environmental Health Department is attached for reference. Since this letter was sent out to you on December 21, 1998, staff has not received any documentation from you with respect to the septic system. The reason that this is an issue is that Condition 12 of Resolution No. 98-175 reads as follows: Failure to comply with any conditions within the time specified shall automatically revoke this approval and then all conditions and limitations of Resolution No. 83-91 will be in effect and any additional uses beyond those approved by Resolution No. 83-91 shall be removed from the premises. In addition, the applicant will be required to submit an annual letter to the Community Development Department documenting compliance or the Applicant shall apply to the Countyfor revision of the existing permit or for a new Special Review approval. It has been two years since Special Review approval was granted by the BOCC.

Unfortunately, it is my understanding that Roto -Rooter would not be unable to provide you this information. I have attached a list (not a complete list) of Engineers in the valley that are qualified to assist you. You will need to submit to the Environmental Health Department a diagram (site plan) that is to scale which delineates the distance between the existing well and the septic system and the size of the leach field. In additional, a letter from an Engineer shall be submit that documents the functionality of the system and what kind of shape the field is in. In addition, I still need information regarding the indoor and outdoor dogs kennels and whether they comply with the minimum state regulations.

You had provided documentation from Roto -Rooter regarding the size of the system, although this information is useful, you will need to hire an Engineer, who specializes in septic systems. to determine: the exact size of the leach field. if the rocks are in good shape and if the overall system is still working properly. Unfortunate'v. it is my understanding that Roto -Rooter would not be unable to provide you this information. I have attached a list (not a complete list) of Engineers in the valley that are qualified to assist you. You will need to submit to the Environmental Health Department a diagram (site plan) that is to scale which delineates the distance between the existing well and the septic system and the size of the leach field. In additional, a letter from an Engineer shall be submit that documents the functionality of the system and what kind of shape the field is in. In addition. I still need information regarding the indoor and outdoor dogs kennels and whether they comply with the minimum state regulations. Documentation and calculations should be submitted to the Community Development Department. Please let me know as soon as possible when you will provide this information to us. The sooner the better, since the above information should have been provided to us by October 12 of this year. If you have any *questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 920-5103.

This letter constitutes the response of the Aspen Valley Veterinary Hospital to the "notice of violation" dated June 30, 1998, which stemmed from modifications realized by The Gabriel Foundation, an organization that is related directly to this hospital's ongoing goal of animal welfare, public education and advancing the cause of the human/animal bond. Overall, our response will address what is described as a minor change to a Special Use Permit and certain other violations that in reality date to the actual origins of this hospital's long and public history of animal care offered to Roaring Fork Valley residents and visitors for nearly 20 years of consistent service. With relation to The Gabriel Foundation and its primary goals, you will find a detailed description of the modifications for use with relation to their high animal care standards and our own requirements as an animal medical facility. In addition, this Foundation, along with the Birdbrain, a necessary adjuct to The Gabriel Foundation to ensure the appropriate physiological, psychological, nutritional and environmental support necessary to maintain the health of these animals, have taken up areas of the hospital as a direct extension and relation to our function as a team of animal care experts. With regard to the noted violations, this hospital will attempt to describe the balance between its actual history, the dynamics of advancing concepts in animal care, rules and regulations on a local as well as state and federal level and its efforts to satisfy these needs. This hospital has offered a long history of services dating back to its origins relating to points mentioned on the notice of violations. These services and needs stem directly from the ability to offer proper animal care from a minimal standard required by several regulatory and licensing boards to our own exacting high standards of optimum care. The points mentioned are either direct extensions of our primary function of animal care, be it the proper and safe restraint of post-surgical large animals in stalls, to the proper hygiene and preparation of boarding clients in the form of grooming; the proper housing and efficient sanitation of primary enclosures by having a required run in which to place a companion animal During the space of this hospital's history, we have only improved on the quality, security and safety of our facility with no increase in actual square footage used In addition, we have made great efforts to enhance the general pleasant rural character of this facility. At the q& L« A09 Valley Veterinary f egital 30875 Highway 82 Snowmass, Colorado 81654 (970)923-2022 AJD Games DVNI to Pitkin County Page 2 same time this hospital has had to enhance and improve along with rather substantial advances and changes for the better in general animal care that we have witnessed in the last 20 years. Our existence as an animal care facility through medicine, education and shelter alone has proven the value of the Aspen Valley Veterinary Hospital. Any negative impact has been overall quite negligible especially in the light of the formidable growth in this valley as simply evidenced by the huge daily caravan of automobile traffic we observe passing both ways before us. Our intent then is to continue to conform to the general land use requirements and to add to the original request for a minor change presented by The Gabriel Foundation, an addendum addressing the above mentioned emisting issues and others taking in to account changing times and demands from the different institutions we must deal with. At the same time, we would like to directly address any concerns and offer solutions that provide a fair balance to all of the involved parties. Sincerely, Adolfo J D Games, DVM/President Aspen Valley Veterinary Hospital, Inc AJDG/mm 00 00 Point by point response to noted violations concerning the Aspen Valley Veterinary Hospital Inc: Outdoor runs located contiguous and connected to the kennel building. These runs have existed in order to realize optimal routine, safe and consistent operational management of the daily maintenance and sanitary control of the primary enclosures within the kennel building. In addition to our own requirements of reasonable exercise and "play" for our guests, there are basic "pet animal facilitv regulations" which are required by the State of Colorado in order for a facility to be licensed. (See attached regulations.) In addition, these runs are used from time to time to house hospital patients and those animals who are visiting our hospital on an outpatient basis, always in accordance to our own requirements as well as those of the State of Colorado. The outdoor runs are very efficiently distributed as to minimally impact the surrounding property. There is no intention of expanding as we consider these runs satisfactory to the proper functioning of the kennels as well as the hospital. The runs are well blended into the rear of the kennel and extending a short distance west. Thev are very safe, sound and surrounded by a perimeter fence area which we call the play ground. Behind the kennel area there is the actual rear of the property which consists of a large incline which eventually leads to the Roaring Fork River. Bevond this border there is the eastern section of Lower River Road and then a large sloping area of BLb4 land. No homes or structures are present. South of these runs is the kennel building shielding nearly half of the runs. In addition, there follows the whole of the Hospital property, including the building considered the main small animal hospital with a significant amount of trees and foliage. Beyond the actual property line is a largely expanded Highway 82 which is presently being significantly widened and graded. West of the kennel area is a large area of the hospital property dedicated to corral space for large animals. East of the area is the Roaring Fork River and the large animal and avian section of the hospital. In fact, the hospital property is directly adjacent to only one other property and actually physically separated by barriers on all other boarders. His helps significantly in mitigating immediate contiguous impacts and serves as an ideal natural buffer which helps make this area ideal for our work. In addition, the hospital is located in an area known as Gerbazdale, where there are other long term businesses in existence which reinforces this area as an ideal midvalley location for a veterinary facility. The most likely problem we can imagine having could be with two new homes built across the now four lane Highway 82. The existing rental units directly across from this area have not been a major source of complaints to our knowledge over the past 18 years. In considering different problems that could be issues to our neighbors in spite of our pre-existence, the subject of noise came up as a major concern. The hospital is more than willing to help ameliorate any problems associated with noise. MAO 00 Point by point Page 2 Again, we wish to emphasize that the large highway expansion and associated highway background noise helps neutralize any noise we could produce during business hours as well as the natural buffers previously mentioned. We would like to, in anv case, offer the following solutions: a. We plan to plant a line of large shrubs or trees on the western rear border of the property to create a "green wall." b. The runs could be surrounded by a second high (6 foot) perimeter fence built of a solid material to buffer noise. C. As always, the animals are allowed outside during cleaning and fair weather days only during business hours. In addition to the runs, we would like to request an allowance to eventually create a hard slab surface over which they would rest. This is requested to cover future changes anticipated in the regulations of the State of Colorado. Presently the runs rest on a bed of gravel; this will likely be a required change at a point in time. 2. Dog grooming business — A separate "dog grooming business" as such has not been a major goal of this hospital. What we have in existence has always been mainly for our existing hospital and kennel clientele as an ancillary service directly extending from our work in animal care. We believe this service falls under the larger category of services offered at a small animal clinic and kennel. In the interest of being capable of at least basic services in this respect, we request= allowance to groom animals. 3. The/horse stalls —Again, the existence of three portable stalls located behind the barn are there for the safe and secure restraint of large animal patients, be they outpatients or hospitalized sick or post-surgical patients. From time to time, we also use them as storage areas. They have minimal impact on the area and serve a vital function. In addition, we request the allowance of two other visually pleasant temporary stall structures that we would like to place in the back of the rear corral area in order to more safely house our large animal patients. Such structures are commonplace in many "rural" areas housing horses. We hope this helps to express our needs and spirit of cooperation.

M q3 01 0 0 The Gabriel Foundation Response To Pitkin County 3-210-10 Applicability a 4. Our facility is not changing the current and past use of the land because it is still to be used as a veterinary hospital. We are merely separating the birds from the other animals by giving them this separate space and by only moving them to the outside aviary structure during the day so that they may get exercise, fresh air and sunshine in a safely enclosed habitat. We wish to amend the 3 -stall horse shed which may be used for the safe and secure restraint of large animal patients whether outpatients, hospitalized or post-surgical. We do not wish to expand the existing dog kennels as they are satisfactory to the proper functioning of both the kennels and the hospital. The dog grooming "business" has never been separate from the hospital and has always been used mainly for the hospital and kennel clientele as an ancillary service directly extending from our work in animal care. The character of our immediate vicinity is diverse and varied: agricultural; moderate commercial as evidenced by The Aspen Village Quik Mart, Aspen Village Trailer Park, Aspen Village Fire Station, Woody Creek Tavern and the US Post Office at Woody Creek, as well as the heavy equipment operation at Gerbazdale and the commercial equestrian activities located at Gerbaz as will as single family homes and rentals; The Old Snowmass Conoco, Midstate Motors, Quik Mart and US Post Office at Old Snowmass. B. To harmonize our facility within the surrounding area, the grounds are kept landscaped, watered and maintained. The artfully built temporary natural redwood structure is enclosed with safe aviary wire, secure with latticework and surrounded with potted trees and shrubs. A park -like atmosphere with benches and a picnic table for the public to enjoy while viewing our birds is maintained. There is no change in the location or design of the kennels housing small animals. The outdoor runs are presently well -blended into 0 0 the kennels extending west. They are sufficiently situated as to minimally impact the surrounding property. We plan to plant a line of trees and shrubs on the western rear border to create a green wall. The runs can be surrounded by a second 6 foot high Perimeter fence built of solid material to buffer noise and obscure the view of any dogs. Impact on pedestrian and vehicle circulation are negligible because we have separated large animals, small animals and birds into different locations. Parking is more efficient than it was due to realignment and gravel on the dirt surface of the parking, turn -around and aviary area. Trash and service delivery are managed easily. Noise and vibrations are minimal with the buffering of the green wall and latticework. C. The public facilities and services previously utilized here at AVVH will not be changed because more efficient use of our buildings and space makes public access easier. The new aviary has no sewer needs. We wish to add a forced -air blower to preheat the building from the inside during the winter months. This will not be visible except from within the aviary. We wish to add full -spectrum lighting to be utilized only during daylight hours in late fall, winter and early spring to provide the birds with Vitamin A needed for their health while the translucent panel material protects the birds from adverse climatic elements. The kennel size will not be changed. In fact, any potential noise or odor will be buffeted by the proposed new fencing. Moving the stalls will have minimal impact because the are only being relocated. 1. There is no endangerment to public health safety or welfare because the birds are kept in their own cages at all times or under the care of supervisory personnel on duty. Kennels are completely enclosed by fencing and walls with no dogs roaming at large. Horses are confined to the portable stalls to be located more conveniently to the present turn -out area and corrals. 10 E. 2. There is no substantial injury to the value of adjoining or adjacent property because all buildings are upgraded and enhanced. The surrounding area is made up of ranches with large pastures and wide open spaced between them. 1. 2. 3. 4. a. b. NOTE: All above points will be followed subsequent to the granting of our special use permit. 0 0 28 July 1998 To: Pitkin County Board of Adjustment From: Aspen Valley Veterinary Hospital/The Gabriel Foundation Project: The Aspen Veterinarian Hospital Minor Amendment to Special Review and Commercial GMQS Exemption Location: 30875 Highway 82.

No impact because we are on a well and the structure has no sewer and the floor of the structure is gravel. 6. Burden on the facilities of the Roaring Fork Transit Agency, Aspen School District, library, hospital and park system; a. Not applicable. The structure will enhance the community due to its park -like setting. 7. Adverse impact on the community's air, water, land and energy resources (Ord. 95-3 (part), 1995) a. There is no adverse impact because the building uses no energy and birds don't pollute. b. there is no adverse impact becauswe th kennel area is not being increased, and the building already houses these services. c. The portable large animal stalls require no additional energy. d. The frooming services create no negative impact because they are contained in the same kennel building where historically operated. Code 3-200-080 Minor Amendments to a Development Permit A. B. C. not applicable D. The proposed activity does not: 1. Change the basic character of the approved use of land on which the activity occurs including basic visual appearance and method of operation a. There is no change because the land is still being used as a veterinary hospital, we are merely separating the birds from the mammals by giving them their separate space and by only moving them outside during the day so that they may get fresh air and sunshine. b. We have actually reduced the number of structures on the property by removing the trailer and the shed which were used as animal kennels and replacing them with a well -thought out bird aviary so that the public may enjoy looking at beautiful, colorful animals. 0 0 c. The kennel and grooming service continue to occupy the same space. 2. Increase off-site impacts in the surrounding neighborhood: a. The outdoor aviary will not impact the surrounding neighborhood in any negative way, but only enhance it by adding a very colorful aviary. b. The surrounding area is made up of large pastures and ranches with wide, open spaces between each. 3. Endanger the public healthy, safety or welfare: a. There is no endangerment to the health, safety and welfare of the public because the birds are kept in their own cages and there are supervisory personnel on duty at all times. b. The large and small animals are contained in their kennels, runs, pasture and stalls at all times. 4. Violate any Land Use Code Standard: a. No. Land is approved for a veterinary hospital and kennels. 5. Substantially increase the need for on-site parking or utilities, or affect affordable housing generation: a. No additional parking needed. Can be accommodated with present parking spaces. b. No additional utilities needed. 6. Increase the floor area of the use by more than two (2) percent or decrease the open space on the site by more than three (3) percent (Ord. 96-3 (part), 1995; prior code §3-1908) a. No increase in the floor area; we have actually reduced the number of structures on the property by removing the trailer and the shed which were used as animal kennels and replacing them with a well thought out bird aviary so that the public may enjoy looking at beautiful, colorful animals. b. No increase in floor area is requested for kennel or grooming services because they continue to operate out of the same space. c. The large animal stalls will not require an increase in floor area because they are only being relocated. The will make a more visually pleasing structure located next to the pasture. i rI R.tLBO.Oo \ I _1 .. 1455"54 Caw CA ��F i. QEEKi/Up ✓ 9tfaAYl4� W 'do+"� Q p[2rvEWA/ 1��1AEhTi of 403.'9 r. 1.
