The existing kennels will be moved to the addition; the examination rooms and surgical area will be increased; kennels will be the same size but will contain fewer animals because of a different design; parking ha.s been expanded. The upstairs living area over the existing building will remain the same, but the addition will be one story. The exterior materials will match the existing.

Vice-Chairman Betts pointed out that several trees are to be removed to construct the new parking. Dr. Bokanyi stated that he has planted all the trees on the property, but he does need all the parking shown pointing out that now there are times when cars have to wait in the turning lane to get into the lot.
