fifty (50) feet long by twenty (20) ft wide shall be installed 300 ft from the

24. Vehicle travel shall be one-way counterclockwise around the buildings.  
25. Signage consisting of a minimum of three (3) “one-way” signs and a

a. Create airtight seal in building envelope using a barrier material equal to the  
average surface weight per square foot of the exterior wall and roof system and  
closed to an airtight seal using rod backer and permanently-resilient acoustical  
sealant.  
b. Create a partition system at the west entrance to the barn so sound does not  
escape to the exterior when dogs are dropped off and retrieved. This would  
entail the construction of a complete north/south wall just interior of the barn  
facility and the creation of sound lock vestibules (two doors in series separated  
by a vestibule which includes sound absorbing materials) integral to the new  
wall system.  
c. Create a porte cochere at the west entrance that will serve as a  
sound-dampening walkway between the parking lot and the interior of the  
facility. This includes a roofing system of at least five pounds per square foot.

includes visual feedback to employees, such as 1) Green light when sound levels  
interior to the kennel are below acceptable values; 2) Yellow light when sound  
levels are approaching values which would be deemed unacceptable to the  
community; and 3) Red light when sound levels are excessive. Employees would  
then take appropriate actions to calm dogs and reduce noise.  
30. If the animal boarding operation is abandoned for one (1) year or more, this  
conditional use permit shall be terminated. Future re-establishment of an  
abandoned conditional use permit shall require approval of a new conditional
