This property is located on 101 W. Glade Rd. #201. Chairman McNeese opened the public hearing. Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief overview of the case. The applicant is Kim Elder, doing business as the House of Paws. She is before the commission for a renewal of a Specific Use Permit that was originally approved in December 2002. The nature of this business is classified as indoor animal kennel and that is why this use is considered by Planning and Zoning as a Specific Use Permit. The business has been very successful. The location of this existing business is on the SW corner of Glade Rd. and N. Main St. Staff is recommending approval of the renewal with it being tied to the owner, and no overnight boarding of animals. Chairman McNeese asked the applicant to come forward for comments. Kim Elder, House of Paws, stated she was there to answer any questions from the commission. Chairman McNeese asked for any proponents/opponents to come forward for comments. Seeing none he read a written response from a Sharon Randle, 2940 Gray Oak Dr., Euless, stating she approves of this request because it is clean, reasonably quiet, safe to both people and the dogs. Another written response was received from a Bill Roach, 3008 Post Oak, Euless, stating he did not approve of this request. Chairman McNeese closed the public hearing. Commissioner May asked Ms. Elder if she was renewing her lease and for the term of the lease. Ms. Elder stated she was renewing her lease for two years. Vice Chairman Grove asked Mike Collins, Director of Planning and Development, if it would be necessary to tie the SUP to the term of lease if it is tied to the owner and the business.

Commissioner Portugal asked Ms. Elder if she was still offering training.

Commissioner Portugal asked Ms. Elder how she was marketing her business. Ms. Elder stated they have been using flyers, mail outs, and word of mouth. Chairman McNeese asked Ms. Elder what her average clientele was during the day. Ms. Elder stated they average 15 per day.
