Town Planning Commission Meeting May 15, 2019: Dog kennel, daycare & new subdivision
At the May 15th Town of Front Royal Planning Commission meeting, one public hearing on a special use permit, submitted by Fianna Litvok, for a dog training facility, with a kennel, at 650 W. 11th Street, Ste A in Front Royal. The Commission also reviewed a preliminary plan application, submitted by Ramsey, Inc. for a 33 lot subdivision within the R-1 district.
The proposed dog training facility/dog kennel would be called Tip Top K9. It would offer obedience training for dogs. The applicant Fianna Litvok states that most training would be done off-site at the pet owner’s house or other location. However, there would be “doggie bootcamps” on-site. Commercial kennels are described as secondary and relate only to the “doggie bootcamps”, where pet owners would leave their dogs at the facility for 2-4 weeks. Litvok says initially hopes to be able to have 1-4 dogs housed at the site, but with a potential for up to 10 dogs. Click here to download complete application and photos.
Chris Ramsey of Ramsey, Inc submitted a preliminary plan for a 33 lot subdivision at the end of Ewall Street and and the end of Happy Ridge Drive to be called Happy Creek Knolls.
