Judge says: "an invalid exercise of police power violating the plaintiffs' Constitutional right to due process." Two dog owners in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, have been granted a summary judgment against the city for two dog limit laws the judge called "an invalid exercise of police power violating the plaintiffs' Constitutional right to due process." "The court finds that ownership of dogs and other pets is a property right which is protected by the Constitution," said District Court Judge Thomas P. Knapp when he granted the judgment on June 5. One of the laws limited owners to two dogs, with an exemption for puppies under six months of age. The second law allowed owners to keep up to four dogs if they obtained a permit and to keep more than four dogs if they got permission from their neighbors. There was no grandfather clause; if owners could not get approval from all neighbors within 100 feet of their property line, additional dogs would have to be placed elsewhere or surrendered to authorities. Penalty for failure to get neighbors' permission was 90 days in jail and $700 fine. The request for judgment came from Mary P. Holt, who rescues and fosters Newfoundlands, and Cynthia Eveslage, a dog trainer and breeder. Holt has 12 dogs and no permit; Eveslage has three adult dogs and a permit to keep up to four dogs. Neither woman contacted neighbors to get permission to keep more than four dogs. The women challenged the ordinance on these grounds: . The ordinances were not rationally based on evidence that indicated a two -dog limit was warranted by conditions in Sauk Rapids. They argued that there is no such evidence and that http://www.canismajor.com/dog/minnlawl.html 6/7/2001 Dog Owner's Guide: Dog limit called unconstitutional in Minnesota Page ? of 4 the number was arbitrarily chosen. • The provision requiring a permit to own up to four dogs lacked criteria or standards for issuance. • The absence of a grandfather clause and the requirement to get neighbors' permission to keep more than four previously owned dogs allowed for the taking of property without just compensation. • The ordinances amount to ex post facto laws; i.e., they criminalize an act that was innocent when it was committed. • The city countered with a request for its own summary judgment based on two factors: that women had not exhausted all legal remedies because they had not asked their neighbors for permission to have more than four dogs and because there was no proof that the Constitution protects dog ownership. The decision Holt and Eveslage compiled reports of complaints involving dogs in the city and demonstrated that the complaints were not related to numbers. They also offered depositions of six officials who testified that there was no evidence that supported the limits before they were passed. The judge found for the plaintiffs on the Constitutional grounds that the city had abused its power to create laws that promote the general health, safety, and welfare of the citizens and violated the guarantee of due process before property is taken. He said that the city failed to provide relevant evidence that the laws were needed. The judge then denied the city's request for summary judgment against the women. The plaintiffs are not required to comply with unconstitutional laws and thus were not obliged to obtain the unanimous approval of neighbors before keeping their dogs. Furthermore, the judge found that the Constitution protect pet ownership. He declared the laws unconstitutional and enjoined the city from enforcement. However, he did not award damages or attorneys fees. The record grows This is the second court decision striking down pet limit laws. The first took place in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and removed an ordinance that limited residents to five pets. In resolving that case, the judge quoted from Kadash vs City of Williamsport, 1975: "What is not an infringement upon public safety and is not a nuisance cannot be made one by legislative fiat and then prohibited. Even legitimate legislative goals cannot be pursued by means which stifle fundamental personal liberty when the goals can otherwise be more reasonably achieved. " The Sauk Rapids case was supported by the Minnesota Coalition of Dog Clubs; Tanick is national attorney for the American Dog Owners' Association.

Better Alternatives J The human -canine bond predates history. Since the �a dawn of civilization, people have enjoyed the companionship and assistance of dogs. Dog ownership has existed in all cultures, races, climates and economic situations - by monarchs, monks, nomads, and peasants. The American Kennel Club strongly endorses the right to own, keep and breed dogs in a responsible and humane manner. We believe that responsible dog ownership is compatible with most living arrangements. The AKC opposes unreasonable limitations on pet ownership, such as the prohibition of dogs for residents of senior citizen and government subsidized housing facilities. The American Kennel Club recognizes the special obligation of dog owners, not only to their pets but also to their neighbors. The AKC supports "curbing" and clean-up ordinances, leash laws, nuisance laws, and other reasonable regulations designed to ensure that dogs and their owners remain respected members of their communities. A limit law is a restriction on the number of animals an individual or household may own. These laws are usually passed on the city or county level and vary greatly from one community to the next. Sometimes limit laws stem from one problem owner who lets his or her dogs run loose or allows them to bark incessantly. Other times a string of incidents caused by irresponsible dog owners is the spark. Whatever the impetus, many communities often look to a quick fix -limiting the number of dogs allowed per household. This trend presents a wealth of problems for the purebred dog fancy. Worse though are the problems limit laws cause the communities that propose them. Limit laws are introduced as a cure-all for animal control problems, but in reality they are typically unsuccessful and often create more problems than they solve. http://"-ww.akc-or-/love/dip/le�islat!animal_limit _laws.cfm 6/7/2001 But what makes limit laws so ineffective, and how can purebred dog owners and legislators help alleviate the problems that often lead to their introduction? What are some alternative solutions to the very legitimate animal control problems many communities face? The following are some important points to keep in mind when dealing with this issue: • Limiting the number of dogs an individual may own is an ineffective solution to animal control problems because it fails to address the heart of the issue -irresponsible ownership. Whether they own 5 dogs or 2, irresponsible owners will still allow their animals to run loose, leave their mess in a neighbor's yard, or bark long into the night. Limit laws are extremely difficult to enforce and can be evaded by irresponsible animal owners. For example, individuals may choose not to license their pets as a way to avoid regulation. Animal control officers therefore have no way of knowing how many pets an owner has unless they make regular door-to-door inspections. To do so would be an expensive, time-consuming process that in many cases would require a search warrant. Fewer licenses also means less revenue for city government. ccess Story #1 When a 1998 dog attack prompted Comal County officials to propose a limit law, members of the Responsible Pet Owners Alliance (RPDA) swung into action. Understanding that the commissioners were in "attack mode" and strongly in favor of limiting animal ownership as a means of solving their animal control problems, RPOA offered assistance and alternative solutions rather than aggressive arguments. The group provided county officials with a copy of San Antonio's reasonable, enforceable nuisance law and also explained how a limit law would negatively impact rescue groups. In addition, RPOA garnered support from the media, particularly local radio stations who covered the story in regular news updates. As more concerned dog owners learned about the proposal, opposition grew. Officials soon opted to follow RPOA's suggestions, and the limit law died. The dog community's rational, helpful approach clearly found favor among the Comal County Commissioners, and RPOA continues to serve as a valuable resource to legislators throughout Texas. • Limit laws often force caring, responsible owners to surrender their excess animals to shelters that are already overcrowded, thereby increasing a city's shelter population problems and euthanasia rates. • Hoping to evade limit laws, people may try to hide the number of dogs they own. To do so, owners avoid taking their animals to veterinarians and getting needed vaccinations. This may affect rabies prevention and threaten public safety. It also jeopardizes the animals' health. . In many cases, communities already have nuisance laws in place that, if properly enforced, could reduce animal control problems. Passing new laws is a lengthy, expensive process that only burdens public officials and taxpayers without resolving the issue at hand. USuccess Story #2 1 By the summer of 1998, stray dogs had become a big problem for officials in East Camden -big enough for them to introduce a limit law as a means of resolving the issue. Legislators were unaware, however, that a limit law would only add to the problem by taking away potential homes and loving foster families for homeless animals. Additionally, the proposal did not include a grandfather clause, meaning http://www.akc.orL,/love,'dip/le,lislat/animal_limit_laws.cfm 6/7;2001 that countless residents who already owned more than four animals would have to relinquish their pets to overcrowded shelters or have them euthanized. Members of the South Arkansas Kennel Club decided to take action. They attended city council meetings proudly wearing nametags to identify their cause. To gather community support, they created posters detailing the ordinance and the ways that it would affect pet owners. They also went door-to-door to talk with residents personally. Concerned dog owners quickly joined the fight and implemented a unique strategy: they showed up at city hall in droves to license their dogs. As a result, officials came to understand that if current laws were better enforced, the city would have the revenue to improve its animal control program. They also discovered that altematives to limit laws would offer better solutions to their problems. Limit laws target all owners, regardless of their actions or the behavior of their animals. Responsible owners should be allowed to use their own discretion in determining the number of dogs they can keep on their own property. • A limit on the number of dogs one can own would restrict the many responsible breeders who raise and breed purebred dogs for the purpose of showing. These breeders make a serious commitment to their animals, not to make a huge profit, but instead with the intention of promoting the sport of purebred dogs and improving the individual breeds. Limit laws would impact the many responsible fanciers who rescue unwanted animals and either personally adopt them as pets or find them permanent homes. Several courts have agreed that limit laws are unjust. In 1994 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania struck down an ordinance enacted by the Borough of Camegie that limited residents to five cats or dogs per household (Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Creighton, 1994). Similarly, a two -dog limit in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota was challenged and ruled unconstitutional (Holt v. City of Sauk Rapids, 1997). • Strongly enforced animal control laws, nuisance regulations requiring pet owners to be respectful of neighbors and society, and increased public education efforts are all better ways to address the issue of irresponsible dog ownership. • Effective leash and curbing laws would prevent irresponsible owners from letting their pets run loose, possibly endangering the public and other animals. • Clean-up ordinances, as well as noise; odor and nuisance regulations, would require all pet owners to take responsibility for their animals and recognize their obligations to society. • For those who do violate nuisance and laws, alternative sentencing in the form of community service at an animal shelter or participation in obedience classes would help correct irresponsible behavior. uccess Story #3 For many years, Clackamas County Animal Control has enjoyed the support of the purebred dog fancy. Members of the Responsible Dog Breeders' Association of Oregon and Clackamas Kennel Club routinely work with animal control authorities on dog -related issues, and many have established close ties with http://www.akc.org/love/dip/legislat/animal_limit_laws.cfm 6/7/2001 shelter officials in their work with breed rescue. Fanciers have also assisted with benefit events for the shelter, recognizing the importance of the center to the community. So it is not surprising that when county officials decided to revise their animal control ordinance, they sought the advice of purebred dog owners. Area fanciers quickly jumped at the chance to help. Clackamus County is the most rapidly growing county in Oregon, and dog owners knew that as the area became more densely populated, there was a good chance animal control issues would arise. They wanted to assure that the new ordinance would support responsible ownership and that it would not include a limit law. Members of local dog groups served on the committee that reviewed and made revisions to the ordinance proposal. As part of their work, they explained how a strong nuisance law, as opposed to limiting animal ownership. would make for a more effective ordinance. Clackamus County officials soon recognized that, rather than make responsible pet owners law breakers simply because of the number of dogs and cats they had, a nuisance -driven proposal would better address the problem of irresponsible animal ownership. The new ordinance was passed in May 2000, and local fanciers and officials alike believe it will serve as an excellent model of fair, enforceable legislation. • Use of an arbitrator to mediate neighborhood animal disputes would help settle personal arguments that are not indicative of an animal control problem. • A public education campaign would help teach community residents how to property care for and interact with pets, as well as the need to be a courteous neighbor. • The purebred dog fancy is extremely interested in developing fair and effective animal control laws, as well as bolstering public education efforts to promote responsible dog ownership. To help achieve these goals, fanciers often assist the community by serving on or starting animal control advisory boards to monitor animal -related problems and develop reasonable solutions. Many volunteer their time and resources to help start or improve public education campaigns to teach responsible dog ownership. access Story #4 While skimming the newspaper one day in late 1995, a member of the Ohio Valley Dog Owners (OVDO) ran across an upsetting article. The story involved a neighborhood dispute over a breeder's kennel -the mere presence of which irritated residents. Although the kennel was clean, neat and legally zoned, neighbors had complained to their public officials. As a result, Hamilton County Commissioners were asking their Planning Commission to explore the feasibility of a limit law. Alarmed, the Ohio fancier immediately phoned an acquaintance on the planning staff and asked that two members of OVDO be included in the limit law task force. She also suggested that the group invite a veterinarian to sit in. Over the next few weeks, members of OVDO worked with public officials to show that there is no direct link between a specific number of dogs and the amount of nuisance they create -that one poorly trained dog can cause more problems than four well-behaved ones. The planning staff came to realize that, as is often the case with limit law issues, this proposal had stemmed not from an animal control problem but from a community argument that could have been resolved through mediation rather than through passage of new laws. http://www.ake.org/love,,dip/legislat'animal_limit_laws.cfm 6/7/2001 OVDO's efforts clearly paid off. The group not only defeated the limit law in favor of nuisance law enforcement, they also gained ground for breeders' rights and zoning regulations. In the past five years, these issues have not resurfaced in Hamilton County, attesting to the fact that an organized, efficient opposition campaign, mounted before legislation has been passed. can be extremely successful. The AKC's Canine Legislation and Public Education Departments also support communities in many ways. The Canine Legislation Department (919-816-3720, ) can provide sample legislation and help improve animal control laws. The Public Education Department offers free materials to schools, dog clubs, shelters and community organizations to help educate the public about responsible dog ownership. (Contact AKC's Customer Service Department at 919-233-9767 for more information.). Legislators and purebred dog owners have a shared interest in making sure that neighborhoods remain safe, enjoyable places for both people and dogs. By working together, government officials and the public can find workable, enforceable solutions to animal control problems without resorting to limit laws.

Currently, the City regulates kennels both as a general City Code issue and a land use issue within the Zoning Ordinance. The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the existing regulations and outline options for further standards that could be required to ensure public health and safety, as well as compatibility. Exhibits: A Ord. #2 and 93-02 B Zoning Ordinance Section 20-26 ANALYSIS Kennel Defined. Dog kennels are defined by the City Code and Zoning Ordinance as follows: Any lot, premises, dwelling or dwelling unit in which three (3) or more dogs over the age of six (6) months are kept, harbored, owned or otherwise possessed, either on a commercial basis or scale for boarding or breeding, or on a private basis for personal use, enjoyment or profit. City Code. The Ordinance adopted as part of the general City Code addresses the keeping of animals and operation of kennels in the interest of public health and safety. The Ordinance establishes regulations on controlling dogs intended to prevent running, requires rabies vaccination and establishes provisions for an animal control officer. An amendment adopted in 1993 establishes a licencing procedure for commercial kennels requiring that any operation acquire an annual administrative permit. Performance standards for commercial kennels address issues related to adequate shelter and exercise areas, waste control and food provisions. The permitting process allows for oversight of the facility by the Zoning Administrator or Animal Control Officer to ensure the operation is maintained in a manner consistent with public health and safety, including additional limitations or requirements for the keeping of animals. Zoning Ordinance. Section 20-26-3 of the Zoning Ordinance addresses domestic animals and specifically dog kennels (and cat shelters) as a land use issue. Keeping domestic animals is an allowed use within all Zoning Districts. The section regulating dog kennels includes a cross reference to the City Code requirements outlined above. The Zoning Ordinance adds a requirement that the minimum lot size for a dog kennel is one acre. Dog kennels are listed specifically as a conditional use within the A-1 District and as a permitted use in the B-2 and B-3 Districts. Based upon the definition of dog kennels that includes both private and commercial oriented uses, the keeping of three or more dogs is allowed only in these three Districts. The maximum number of dogs that may be kept within the A-2 or any residential district is two. Regulation Concepts. Again, the two existing regulations of dog kennels established by the City address the public health and safety issues associated with keeping three or more dogs within the community. The Zoning Ordinance adds performance standards intended to address the compatibility of these uses by location. • Commercial/Private. The current definition of kennels does not distinguish between keeping three or more dogs as a commercial or private use. While the keeping of the animals may have similar characteristics, the commercial oriented use may be more intense in terms of turnover, traffic and facilities than keeping three dogs as pets. The current limitation on locating all kennels ensures that these uses are properly located in areas where they will cause a minimum impact. • Number of Animals. The current City Code and Zoning Ordinance establish that keeping three or more dogs requires a kennel licence and that the activity is allowed in the A-1, B-2 and B-3 Districts. The City Code does allow the Zoning Administrator or Animal Control Officer to limit maximum the number of dogs allowed under the licence. The City could establish specific performance standards based on number of dogs or limitations on the number of dogs for a commercial or private use as part of a revised Code or Zoning Ordinance. Page 2 of 3 Location. Currently, keeping three or more dogs is limited to the A-1, B-2 and B-3 District. Allowance of kennels could be expanded to include additional districts, including residential districts. This raises the issue of whether keeping this number of dogs is compatible with a residential environment. Because of this, the use could be provided for as a conditional use, allowing additional oversight and imposition of additional performance standards. Performance Standards. The current kennel regulations in the Zoning Ordinance only establish a minimum lot size of one acre. Additional requirements for setbacks from property lines for shelters or kennel facilities could be considered to address potential compatibility issues with adjacent properties. Screening requirements could also be required in an effort to control visual and noise impacts. CONCLUSION Over time, the City of Otsego has adopted City Codes and Zoning Ordinance provisions regarding the keeping of animals as a matter of public health safety and land use compatibility. Currently, the City Code and Zoning Ordinance restrict the keeping of three or more dogs to the A-1, B-2 and B-3 Districts. The City Council should provide direction as to any changes they may wish to consider to the existing regulations based on the concepts outlined herein. Modifications to the City Code may be processed as a City Council item, whereas the Zoning Ordinance provisions require involvement of the Planning Commission. If this issue is being dealt with as a land use compatibility concern or problem, then the Planning Commission's involvement may be warranted regardless of the approach. PC.

Liquor Licenses Public Hearing City Administrator 8.1. Liquor Licenses Public Hearing. This is the annual public hearing required by State law to consider renewal of the liquor licenses in Otsego. City Clerk Judy Hudson will have all the information on the licenses STAFF RECOMMENDATION We are not aware of any information that would cause us to recommend against approval of any of the license applications. MEMO Date: March 18, 1998 To: Mayor & Council From: Interim City Administrator Mike Robertson Re: Municipal Liquor Store Operations I have spoken -with Warren Phillips of Riverview Liquorette regarding his store operation. He said his accountant will be contacting me to discuss financial information. I have also examined the information that Municipal Liquor Stores are required to provide to the State of Minnesota. That information is summarized below. The information is based on 1995 operations as reported to the State, which is the latest information that the State has compiled. As such, the information is only a one year "Snap Shot" of liquor store operations. Minnesota State law authorizes a city of under 10,000 in population to establish a liquor store. Once a store is established it may remain if a city's population grows above 10,000. Originally, Minnesota municipalities were authorized to own liquor stores as a means of controlling the sale of alcohol. It was also intended as a means for small communities that could not attract a privately run liquor store to establish their own. In 1995 there were 255 cities with municipal liquor stores operating in Minnesota. 162 cities had both on -sale (bars) and off -sale stores, while 93 city's stores were strictly off -sale. The majority of municipal liquor stores were located in Greater Minnesota, while only 21 metro area cities had liquor stores. Of those 255 cities with liquor stores, 225 had profits and 30 had losses. The losses ranged from $595 to $38,553. The profits ranged from $125 to% $661,644. Minnesota State law requires that cities whose liquor stores do not make a profit at least two out of every three years must hold a public hearing to discuss the future of their liquor store. In examining strictly the 93 stores that were off - sale only, they averaged a little over $1,100,000 in sales per store. The profit margin on just liquor sales averaged 7.5%. Some liquor stores make additional profit from the sales of cigarettes, candy bars, and other items. For the communities around Otsego, in 1995; Buffalo had sales of $1,098,065, with profits of $172,766, or 16% Elk River had sales of $2,420,704, with profits of $287,323, or 12%. Monticello had sales of $1,661,333, with profits of $171,841, or 10%. Rogers had sales of $839,903, with profits of $14,901, or 2%. Everyone agrees that the two keys to a profitable store are 1) A Good Location and 2) A Good Manager. Once I receive the information from Warren Phillips, I will report back to the Council. cc: City Staff
