BOARD OF APPEALS
On behalf of the Yarmouth Water Department, I would like to request additional information
related to the proposed expansion of dog boarding kennels at Howl A Day LLC located at 35 &
41 Industrial Park Drive in West Yarmouth. The property is located within the Groundwater
Protection District (GPD) due to many drinking water wells located along Higgins Crowell Road.
One well is less than 650 feet from 35 & 41 Industrial Park Drive. Therefore, handling of animal
waste on the site is a water quality concern. I am not familiar with Howl A Day's current practice
for animal waste or if the additional kennels would impact their current practices.
I respectfully request that the Zoning Board of Appeals obtain Howl A Day's animal waste
handling plan for current and proposed kennels for Water Department review prior to approval of
their zoning relief request.
