HURON — Variances for a garage and a dog obedience business and boarding facility were approved by the City Commission on Monday.
Sitting as the board of adjustment, members voted in favor of Jim Reimer’s request to build a garage at 222 Ninth St. S.E. where code requires a principal building or dwelling unit in the one-family residential zone.
Also approved was a variance filed by Sue Galliger and Suez Essentials in Obedience to operate a dog obedience business and boarding facility at 757 Michigan Ave. S.W.
Code does not allow the use as a permitted home occupation in a one-family residential district.
Galliger said she runs primarily a dog obedience business and that it is done at the homes of her clients or through classes on the state fairgrounds.
She had been told she didn’t need a kennel license since the dogs are transient, but she has obtained one, anyway. A waste disposal plan will be put into effect, and she will fence the back yard within 90 days.
Galliger said she will have no more than four dogs at any one time. Her goal is to build a facility elsewhere as her business grows, she said.
She said she will have her clients sign a form agreeing to come and get their dogs if they are barking too much. She has a security camera that alerts her if the dogs are barking and she said she can talk to them to try to quiet them.
