He stated that Staff was recommending adoption of the emergency interim ordinance to allow Staff to study and prepare ordinance amendments for City Council consideration; that additional expansion of the kennel is legal in the A-1 zone; and that apartment or condominium development would necessitate erec- tion of a 10-foot wall and acoustical treatment between the properties by the developer.

Scherrer, 957 South Lyon Robert E. Dennis, The Alison Co., 2091 San Joaquin Hills Road, Ne~port Beach Mr. Ruvalcava stated that he wanted to~.sell his property, and that Council should make a decision. Messrs. Dunn, Bush, Dennis stated that the noise in the neigh- borhood has increased during the past year or two; that a 10-foot fence will not solve the problem; that the turnover in apartment rentals averages two or three per month due to noise from the kennel; that the kennel property is improperly zoned as A-l; that expansion of the dog kennels should be curtailed because it will create more noise problems for existing and contemplated residential development; that the kennel expansion could allow for up to 170 dogs; and that a moratorium should be imposed to allow for thorough examina- tion of the development of the area. Mr. Scherrer, owner of the kennel, stated that the level of noise at the kennel had increased over the past year because larger dogs are being boarded. He admitted that barking is heard throughout the night, and often commences at 5:45 A.M. He stated that construction of additional rooms on the corner of 957 South Lyon is in process; and that the construction of additional sound proof buildings where the dogs will be kept during the night will reduce the noise; and that he is willing to cooperate with the neighbors.
