A Chaplin resident asked the Planning & Zoning Commission about rules for a small dog-boarding and obedience-training business. The chair said the town has drafted a revision to allow such operations by special permit and advised following the special-permit process with the zoning officer.
A Chaplin resident asked the Planning & Zoning Commission on Nov. 14 about rules for operating a small dog-boarding and obedience-training business from a residential property.
Mason Medeiros of 20 Park Drive raised the inquiry during the meeting’s citizen-new-business segment. Chair Doug Dubitsky said the town’s existing dog-boarding facility had drafted a revision to the zoning regulations to permit such uses by special permit, noting that the draft included extensive work to reduce noise for nearby neighbors. Dubitsky advised Medeiros to review the special-permit procedures and to follow up with Zoning Enforcement Officer Jay Gigliotti for guidance on next steps.
The discussion did not record a formal application or vote. The Zoning Enforcement Officer’s report to the commission is available at Town Hall for anyone seeking the draft language or further details. The commission did not set a timeline at the meeting for considering revisions or accepting applications related to dog-boarding operations.
