Box 490 Elk River,MN 55330 Re: Request for Conditional Use Permit To Whom it May Concern, The following outline will explain my request for a Conditional Use Permit. REASON: To house show rabbits for personal show rabbit hobby. HOUSING: Rabbits will be housed in the basement of my dwelling. (Hutches are made specifically for rabbits, are designed to stack and will vary in size from 24X24 inches to 24X30 inches.)Holland Lops are the specific breed I will be showing and reach a maximum weight of 3 to 4 pounds. These sizes of hutches are more than sufficient for this breed,as 18X24 is the minimum size hutch recommended for this size breed. • **See enclosed floor plan for specific layout of room. FUTURE CAPACITY: My anticipated maximum capacity would be around 24 cages. Each cage would house one rabbit or one growing litter of rabbits. RABBITS: Since these are show quality rabbits approximately 80%of offspring would be sold or traded to other rabbit showers. Another 10%would be retained by myself,and approximately 10%could be sold as pets. None would be sold for commercial use or meat. WASTE: 100%of rabbit waste is compostable and suitable for landscape use. I will be utilizing all waste for this purpose. We already have an established compost pile for our yard waste and pet rabbit waste. SIGNAGE: NONE. Occasional advertising would be done through local newspapers. TRAFFIC: NONE. No additional traffic impact. Rabbits to be sold will be taken to shows or an occasional buyer may drive to my house. SITE IMPACT: NONE. Nothing different to property is being done.
