IN A HOME
City of Edina
Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 On November 7,2008,Wayne Carlson was issued a citation at 523 Coventry Lane for
exceeding the limitation on the number of dogs and cats a resident may keep in their
home.
1.02 At the time of the citation,Mr.Carlson had three dogs and one cat living in his home.
1.03 Edina City Ordinance 300.15 reads"No more than three dogs or cats in the aggregate
which are over six months of age shall be kept or harbored at any place in the City,
except in a pet shop, animal hospital,or commercial kennel,unless a permit has been
issued pursuant to this subsection by the Council."
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Notification of the application for the permit was sent to surrounding residents. As of
12/30/08,eight residents had responded in opposition and one had responded in favor.
• Many of those that are in opposition have noted"hearing barking at 523 Coventry
Lane" as the reason for opposition. One response also noted they had been"accosted in
the garage by unleashed threatening dogs."
2.02 Due to these responses,Edina Animal Control Officer,Tim Hunter,has expressed
concerns about public safety and health by allowing this permit.
2.03 This is an area of high density housing units that share walls. There is limited green
space in the development and we are concerned about the amount of fecal matter that
this one home could generate.
