The Lancaster County Agricultural Preserve Board voted to approve Rural Enterprise Request 0378 to allow a dog operation at the Martin Farm, a property recently preserved under the county’s farmland preservation program. The application describes a 20 x 50 indoor section under the bank barn and an 18 x 50 outdoor area; minutes note the kennel was slightly enlarged to come into compliance with dog law regulations. Mr. Jeffrey Frey moved to approve the request and Vice‑Chair Mr. Andrew Lehman seconded; the motion carried.
The Martins (owners Curtis and Linda Martin) will continue to operate the farm; their son, Kerek Martin, is identified in the application as operating the dog operation. Staff recommended approval subject to the board’s standard conditions for rural enterprises. The decision keeps the property in the preservation program while permitting an allowable rural enterprise under the county’s guidelines.
