Six dog kennels capable of housing 324 canines received after-the-fact approval from the Noble County Board of Zoning Appeals.
About 115 people filled the board room Wednesday, said Plan Director Steve Kirkpatrick, who oversees the board but is not a voting member. Only neighbors who lived within a half-mile of a kennel were allowed to speak for or against the homeowners’ belated zoning change requests.
The kennels were already operating, selling puppies retail and wholesale, before several complaints brought the issue before the board.
