Dear Board of County Commissioners:

 

Please do not schedule a show-cause hearing to potentially revoke the W.O.L.F. special review approval. This seems like a severe exaggeration considering the basis is fencing, located on their own property, which is not even in use. The County Land Use Code is very specific, in section 8.16.Fences, that agricultural uses are exempt from fence permits. W.O.L.F. is classified as a Pet Animal Care Facility, which is clearly an agricultural use. Therefore, what basis do you have to make these demands?

 

W.O.L.F. has gone above and beyond in their efforts to meet County demands, going so far as to remove animals from the Sanctuary. Removing the extra fencing would take substantial time and money, which this small nonprofit does not have. In the public view, it seems as though you are intentionally looking for an issue to shut the facility down. I implore you, stop the discrimination and unrealistic demands, and allow W.O.L.F. to continue their world renowned work. Thank you.
