NEBRASKA CITY - The Otoe County Planning Commission is considering a conditional use permit for a private dog kennel proposed by John and Gina Jongebloed on 23 acres at 1818 N. Road.

Zoning Administrator Dave Schmitz said the dog kennel was built without a conditional use permit and without a permit to exceed the limit of four dogs. The application references 18 dogs.

The planning commission received a letter from a neighbor saying the dogs are noisy and they would like to see the kennel moved.

Planning Commission minutes say Neil and Stephanie Stedman objected to the noise. Ben Hobbs credited Jongebloed for running a good operation. An adjacent farmer said dryers on his grain bins make as much noise as the dogs, but the dryers run up to four months at a time.

The commission tabled the application until its June 20 meeting.
