New Building Permits are HERE!!

5/23/2017

Well...new building permits are all almost here. It's been a long, long wait, a HUGE learning experience navigating the county permit process for a commercial business, but I have the permits to start moving dirt, and the building permit should be available any day now!!

The new facility will be 40x50', have up to 16 more indoor/outdoor covered kennels, in-floor radiant heating, large play area, then an EVEN LARGER ONE!! With more stuff for the dogs to play with and on! I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I'll post pictures as we go so you can see the progress. Here's a couple...

This is the area where the new building will be!

Future drain field for the ADA bathroom located just inside the kennel building.

THIS JUST IN: I got interrupted yesterday by a call from the county saying that the commercial building permit was ready to pick up, so I ran down as soon as I could (actually, I didn't run. It was a nice day so I took my motorcycle), and they handed me a sizeable stack of papers. This was my commercial building permit! It was like Christmas, or my birthday, and SO awesome!!

Then the cashier and I both looked at my helmet at the same time, and she kindly offered a large envelope for it to all go in so it wouldn't wind up all over the freeway on my way home. A very good day, indeed!

So stay tuned! Lots of activity about to happen...

Congratulations on your progress. And bless your facility and dreams for creating a haven for pups. An fyi....if you are outside the urban growth boundary, you are allowed to build structures up to 400 square feet without building permits. Electrical and plumbing permits and inspections are still required. The structure must be in compliance with current codes. It's a great option for getting needed structures up expeditiously. We're Looking forward to visiting your facility with our pups, Fred and Barney.

Thank you so much! You seriously have dogs named Fred and Barney? That's awesome! One of the things I love about this is the names of all the dogs. I can't wait to meet all of you!
And thanks for the info on building! ???

Here is a link to an informative bulletin that mentions the 400 square foot criteria....and other helpful info as well.

And yes, Fred and Barney. :) They have a facebook page, Fred and Barney Boxer Brothers, that I started but have been posting most of their pics on my personal page. I hope to get back to regular to their page soon.

Good info! Thanks! The county website is difficult to find what you're looking for. I usually going helpful info about what I'm NOT looking for, but then it's impossible to find again later.
I'll look up Fred and Barneys Facebook page!

I started a boarding facility in July of 2014. I'm so excited to be able to surround myself with dogs, I thought I would write about the process.
