K9 Top Performance <br /> Steve Roberts was present for the Application <br /> Mr. Andrew MacNichol the Staff Planner said K9 Top Performance located at 335 Main Street <br /> is an existing use, animal kennel training and is requesting approval to expand in the <br /> building that it currently occupies. <br /> Mr. Steve Roberts, owner of K9 Top Performance, said his 10-year-old business provides full <br /> service daycare, boarding, kennel and behavioral classes and would like to expand his <br /> business into the front of the building that became available when Encore Dance Academy <br /> vacated the building. He provided a floor plan proposing the space be used for storage, <br /> training and a reception area for K9 Top Performance and a showroom for Mottl Builders <br /> who currently rents the rear of the building. Mr. Roberts added if allowed, he would like to <br /> use the storage area as a grooming room. <br /> Mr. Safina explained originally the use was not allowed and was required to be approved by <br /> the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) and now the use is written into the zoning bylaw. Mr. <br /> MacNichol affirmed a Special Permit was issued by the ZBA in 2005 and the requirement <br /> now is for the CPDC to approve a Special Permit. <br /> Mr. Roberts clarified the floor plan shows the area that he would like to expand his business <br /> into and not the entire building. He said his current space is 8,000sf. Ms. Hitch said with <br /> Encore Dance moving out of the building the parking is underutilized. Mr. Safina asked if the <br /> bathrooms would be shared. Mr. Roberts responded he wanted to receive approval to <br /> occupy the space first before finalizing all details. He said the owner of Mottl Builders <br /> discussed renovating the existing meeting area into bathrooms. <br /> Page 11 <br />
