So... Diane... do you breed? Ever sell a litter of puppies? Guess what...
if you do you are "operating a business" in a residential zone according to
that very same civil code.
Diane would have to check her town's regs. Probably they differentiate
between commercial and/or "kennel license" and someone who has an occasional
litter. I know collecting regs became a real project of mine when looking to
buy. I even went so far as to have the township solicitor write a letter of
understanding because there were areas in the regs where I wanted to move
that
were IMO "fuzzy" and I wanted things crystal clear. Actually had a
contingency in the agreement of sale that "my team" would approve the township
solicitor's interpretation or the deal was off....and I have a really good
team,
lol.
Now, if you want to picture a realtor hustling, picture mine hustling to
save the deal! <VBG>
You would think these things would be pretty much standard, but they're not.
For instance, my township was incorporated before 1776. Did you know at
that time, dogs were not considered "domestic animals"? True. Cows, horses,
pigs, etc., but dogs and cats...no. So wherever there is a reference to
"domestic animals" in my township regs, they actually mean what we would
consider
today to be farm animals.
But I have no problem with a "no kennel" clause in a residential area. A
person who breeds an occasional litter won't meet the threshold for needing a
kennel license in most areas, even in PA where the number is 26. I don't want
to live next to a commercial kennel. I don't want to live next to a day
care, a bar, a gas station, convenience mart, an auto body shop a farm or a
rest
aurant either. I'm picky and as long as I'm paying the taxes, I have a right
to be and SO DO MY NEIGHBORS! And what's most important, since we all
choose to live here, we need to respect the regs and not look to make an
exception.
Oh I know, someone will justify keeping a dozen dogs in a house on a 1/4 of
an acre lot in the city. Boy, I don't want to live next to them and if I'm
putting my hard earned dollars into MY property, I don't want to see the value
of my property diminished by what's next door.
