RE: Administrative Permit ADM16-0027
195 Bryden Way, Oroville (APN 027-010-030)
Violations of Permit Requirements
Dear Ms. Rotondo,
Butte County Animal Control has reported to Development Services that certain standards
outlined in your Personal Hardship Kennel Administrative Permit, ADM16-0027 (enclosed)
are in violation. The Personal Hardship Kennel Administrative Permit requirements (1, 5, 7,
and 14) and the corresponding observed violations by Butte County Animal Control are as
follows:
Requirement 1: A personal hardship kennel may only be approved by the Zoning
Administrator due to the death, hardship, illness or military deployment of a family member,
necessitating the applicant care for additional dogs.
Observation: That you are harboring your daughter’s dog, while she is “away at Butte
College”.
Requirement 5: All dogs shall be adequately confined to prevent them from running at
large.
Observation: Butte County Animal Control has received five separate complaints, since
the hardship kennel was issued, of your dogs running loose in the neighborhood. The
dogs have damaged property, including killing poultry and stealing an item from a
neighbor. The dogs harass and bark at pedestrians on Bryden Way.
Requirement 7: No breeding or boarding of new dogs is allowed.
Observation: Butte County Animal Control has found that you are breeding her two Great
Pyrenees and advertising the puppies on facebook.
Requirement 14: The applicant shall maintain records of each individual dog including:
a. Photo of dog;
b. Dog name;
c. Dog description;
d. Rabies vaccination information;
e. Microchip number (if applicable);
f. Dog owner’s name and contact information;
g. Other distinguishing information.
Observation: You have not kept appointments with Butte County Animal Control to
photograph and verify microchip and vaccination records for the dogs under the permit. On
January 24, 2017, while at your residence at 195 Bryden Way, you refused to go over the
records and Butte County Animal Control saw six dogs in your possession at that time, in
essence denying inspection of your dog records.
You are required to correct the observed violations by April 16, 2017. If the violations are
not corrected a public hearing will be schedule before the Butte County Zoning
Administrator to consider revocation of Administrative Permit ADM16-0027.
We welcome you to a meeting between the Planning Division of the Department of
Development Services and Butte County Animal Control, if you would like to discuss this
matter further, otherwise feel free to contact Assistant Planner, Tristan Weems directly at
530-538-2953 or tweems@buttecounty.net.
Sincerely,
Tristan Weems
Assistant Planner
Encl.
