There will be another new school on Market Street in Gloucester City, after the City Planning Board last week granted a resident’s application to conduct dog obedience training classes in her home.
The NJ School Construction Committee is already preparing to building a new Middle School, which will border on Market Street.
Dawn Watson, of the 700 block of Market Street, requested a use variance to hold individual and small training sessions in her residence.
Watson said she would conduct training classes, by appointment, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. about four days per week, and emphasized that the animals would be coming to her home for training only, there would be no boarding.
She added that her business would not create a parking hardship on her neighbors, as the sessions usually take about an hour—90 minutes at the most—and would not always require the animals’ owners staying for the training.
Watson has been training dogs since 1975, and has had her own business for the last 10 years.
The Board voted to table an application for a bulk variance submitted by James Barney, of the 300 block of Sylvan Avenue, as the applicant was not present. The application will be heard at the November meeting.
Two applications were also approved for improvements to homes on Mercer Street, one in the 100 block and one in the 200 block.
The next regular meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 18.
