A proposed pet facility will be in front of the city council for a vote Tuesday night
The St. Michael Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved the new store at the former Sports Diamond (and old flooring spot) at 12246 42nd St. NE in St. Michael, paving the way for a pet store/boarding/possible vet off Highway 241 in eastern St. Michael..
This is so exciting. Our last pet store moved several years ago, and while we have groomers and a vet in the Albertville St. Michael communities there is a paucity of boarding kennels/facilities.
The request is to have a dog run and dog boarding as part of the complex, something that the city said drew some concerns from neighbors in the industrial and retail complex along Highway 241.
The developer continued to work with the city, and said 50 to 75 dogs would be adequate to make the business work. The applicant also hopes to have an area on the complex to use for outdoor training and exercise.
And, that would be a great addition to the community because if you had to go out of town, you would be more comfortable knowing that your pet had some freedom to get outside.
At its March 27 meeting, the St. Michael City Council seemed open to the proposal, but had questions about the number of animals the facility might hold. With the number agreed at 50 council told city staff the proposal might work.
City council member Joe Marx said March 27 that he likes the idea, but the city should work closely with businesses in that neighborhood to make sure everyone’s OK with the new development
