S. Tahoe planners talking dogs, bike paths
Dogs and bike paths are two issues the South Lake Tahoe Planning Commission is scheduled to discuss Feb. 9.
Residents in the 900 block of Merced Avenue want to have six dogs at their single-family residence. City law permits no more than four without a special use permit.
While the commission in June approved the bike path on the north side of Highway 50 from El Dorado Beach to Ski Run Boulevard, a revision will be before the commission. Two parcels that were going to be part of California Tahoe Conservancy project could be added to this bike project.
The project plans are available at the city’s Engineering Department, 1052 Tata Lane or call Sarah Hussong-Johnson at (530) 542.6033 for more information.
The meeting is at 3pm that Thursday at Lake Tahoe airport.

Sorry folks. 6 dogs at one home is way too much.
Bob, agreed! Unless your running something commercial like a kennel. ;)
Let’s meet the dogs and owners (and their vet if necessary) and determine if these are backyard fence runners (which I doubt) or well cared for and trained dogs with jobs.
I know many families that have 6, 7, and even 8 dogs that are responsible pet owners and very active in their dogs’ lives. They compete regularly (everything from agility to sled dog/iditarod to obedience and confirmation and avalanche/mtn rescue)with their dogs and have a well-balanced pack of happy pups.
Don’t let the irresponsible and ignorant dog owners we’ve all experienced shut down the chance to have a happy and healty home for any number of dogs.
Meet them, learn about them and then decide. Communication between all parties and especially neighbors should be commonplace but unfortunately rarely seems to occur.
