Petition to Deny Rezoning of lots LL1277 and LL 2276 of Paulding County Georgia

Please Note: We are NOT against all Pit Bulls, Rottweiler's or any specific dog breed.

We are asking our friends, neighbors and other concerned citizens to sign the below petition to deny any change of zoning to accommodate any commercial dog kennel/rescue type use of our area.

We, the undersigned, oppose the approval of the re-zoning application from R-2 to Agriculture to allow the building and operation of a 30,000 sq. ft. K-9 Rescue/Kennel to expand and kennel facility due to the foollowing:

• Home Valuation: Devaluation of home and property due to the sight, smell, noise, and safety risks. Operation of this facility is not consistent with the character of our neighborhood.
• Nuisance Issues: Operation of facility would produce (increased) noise including barking and offensive smells.
• Traffic: Roads are not compatible for an increase in traffic flow incurred from this operation.
• Safety: These are "rescue" pit bulls that come from unknown sources. Many of them have been vicious in nature, Jason has even been attached causing him to receive many stitches. These are NOT family pets. This property is ~.5 mile as the crow flies to Braly Sports Complex and the Playground of Dreams in the New Hope Community.

We hereby request the Paulding County Board of Commissioners deny the re-zoning application.
