TOWN OF MIDDLETON–A proposed 50-dog daycare facility went to the Dane County Board of Supervisors Monday without a town recommendation on a 2-2 vote by the Town Board.
Dan and Marlene La Fleur’s Four Paws Pet Services, LLC currently boards about a dozen horses on 15 acres on the town’s southwest side near Meadow and Valley View roads.
Initially, they wanted to convert the 20,000-square-foot horse stable at 3440 Meadow Rd. to a 400-dog daycare and offer overnight boarding, grooming, training, and veterinarian services.
The La Fleur’s request for a Conditional-Use Permit went before the county’s Zoning & Land Regulation Committee last month with county zoning staff recommending that the proposed operation be limited to 50 dogs on site at a time.
However, on April 25, the ZLR postponed a decision because the town hadn’t acted on it yet.
On April 18, the town’s Plan Commission recommended a 100-dog or small animal limit.
