OUR MISSION: Looking at the world through the eyes of a Dog. Providing a safe, sanitary, fun environment for these amazing selfless animals to experience immeasurable happiness and be entertained with numerous activities while providing them with complete mental, physical and emotional stimulation! Traditional Dog Da cy ares: Traditional Dog Daycare facilities primarily have a bunch of dog categorized by size and for the most part the dogs do nothing but stand around all day. Some of the fancier places have an outdoor pool with lounge chairs and the dogs get to splash around in 90 degree heat all day long. What makes tis different? When you bring your dog to a D.A.W.G. facility, you can expect that your beloved pet will not stand around all day, in fact it is quite the opposite. We are unique in that we offer activities and exercise for Dogs all day! Did you know that over 50% of dogs are quite severely overweight? With the intense heat here in South Florida giving your animal enough exercise and not getting them worn down with the heat is quite a task! That is why we would like to have this 20,000 SF indoor air-conditioned facility to provide this service! Dogs benefit in a multitude of ways from exercise: • Strengthens Bones & Muscles • Improves Behavior • Slows Aging • Combats Obesity • Removes Toxins • Prevents Diseases • Promotes Weight Management • Supercharges Immune System • Enhances Senses • Boosts Brain Function The goal of a business like mine, is to give dogs complete mental, physical and emotional stimulation every day! I will accomplish this through a large variety of fun activities and exercises, here are just a very few: • Ball Pits • Large Agility Balls • Brain Stimulating Games • Treadmills (For Dogs) • Bubble Machines • Splash Zones • Ball launchers • 170 ft Lure Run I will also offer these additional services on a daily service: • Valet Drop -Off & Pick-up • Training & Obedience Classes • Pet Massages (Sub -Let) • Photography Sessions • Small Birthday Paw -ties • Daycare & Boarding • Webcams • Real time text alerts & updates • Grooming (Sub -let) • Vet consulting services (Sub -let) Here is a description of each service I provide: Valet Drop -Off & Pick-up: Before anyone even enters we have set up a process to cater to the client by offering free valet service. Essentially the client will never have to step out of their vehicle if they chose not to. Everything can be signed electronically, with all our safety checks and security measures in place, we are able to collect their pets from their vehicles and at pick up go through the checkout process before they even arrive. At that time, we simply collect their dog and load it into the car for them. Training & Obedience: For those Dogs that need a little more training we provide training in conjunction with daycare at an additional charge. It allows the client to receive a much more balanced and controllable pet while providing much needed socialization for the dog at the same time. This service is also offered at an additional charge for our clients. We will also have classes available for the client and pet to both come and learn from. Pet Massages (Sub -Let): Who would not want a nice relaxing cool down massage after a fun day of activities. I plan on having someone come in a couple of days a week just for this purpose and to spoil dogs. Also, the older dogs greatly benefit from it to with their hips and other symptoms. Photography Sessions: We believe in being the whole package! We will have a designated room set up with back drops and photo props dedicated for use as a photography studio. There is a huge demand for pet owners that want classic photos with their family and beloved dogs. We will make this service available to our clients. Small Birthday Paw -ties: We are planning on hosting small Birthday parties for dogs. Every dog who has a birthday will get a complimentary photo shoot with a couple of his best pals, small treats and goodies will be given, and the dogs will be celebrated. Webcams & Text: We will also have state of the art cameras monitoring every inch of the premises, our intent is that when your dog enters any sort of play area, you will be notified via text and will have the ability to log in and watch. The other advantage we offer will be the use of technology to keep clients informed about their pets just as we would like to be informed about our children. As such, when your dog gets fed, let out, or given medication... it's a simple check mark on the tablet and you will receive notifications of what is going on in real time with your beloved animal. Grooming (Sub -let): We plan on having a full-service groomer sub -let the premises and the dogs that come to grooming will enjoy a free day of daycare while there. Vet consulting services (Sub -let): We will have a vet on call at all times but also will be on site at regular times throughout the week for consulting with client's pets and keeping up with any necessary vaccines etc... Local Demographics — Potential Client Base: Numbers supplied from City-Data.com 2016 Number of households in surrounding cities: Boca Raton 54,811 Boynton Beach 36,977 Delray Beach 33,945 Lake Worth 16,134 Wellington 24,840 West Palm Beach 54,172 TOTAL 220.879 Households 220,879 x 36.5% = 80,620 dog owning households in this area. 80,620 x 87.5% = 70,543 households above poverty level that can afford our services. (poverty level is 12.5%) 70,543 x 1.6 = 112,869 potential dogs in the surrounding cities that would likely use our services. (Approx. 1.6 dogs per household) Another way to look at the numbers: Building location zip 33426: There are approx. 3,594 people per square mile. Multiply this by a 5 -mile radius = 280,332 people 280,332 / 2.0 (average Individuals in households FL) = 140,166 Households 140,166 x 36.5% = 51,160 Households with Dogs 51,160 x 87.5% = 44,765 Households with Dogs above poverty level that could afford our services. 44,765 x 1.6% = 71,624 potential dogs that can use our services within a 5 -mile radius. IMPORTANT BUSINESS INFORMATION: This business is strictly a service related business, there will be absolutely NO selling of animals of any kind!! On the flip side, I do plan on hoping to team up with Peggy Adams, Big Dog Ranch Rescue, and various other adoption facilities to host adoption days for them to help get some of the many pets adopted across our counties and bring awareness to animal care and control, spaying and neutering etc... THE BUILDING LAYOUT The building is a blank canvas of 200' x 100'. The Interior of the building will for the most part be wide open space with allocated areas for an Activity Arena, Large and Small Dog Area and also a Long Dog run. There will be space allocated for a vet consulting office and groomer to sub -let. A training classroom, massage room, kitchen and Photo studio. The area that is already separated at the rear of the building will be fitted with Luxury kennels of various sizes and we will also have a laundry room back there. We will work with the sublet grooming and veterinarian consulting services, so their clients animals can have a partial day of daycare to eliminate their need for having to wait for the services to be finished. The Dog Areas in Green will be surrounded by white picket fences at a minimum of 5 — 6 ft height with secured entrances on all surroundings. The ceiling will have sound buffering acoustical tiles hanging that will not interfere with any of the sprinkler heads so to capture, eliminate any echoing of vibration sounds and reduce overall noise. Compared to a traditional dog daycare dogs will be considerably quieter because of the simple fact that they are being entertained and exercised all day long as opposed to standing around and doing nothing. The beauty of this building is that it is a former grocery store and has over 25 existing floor drains, this is great because we plan on installing a rubberized `Air Drain' system on the pitched concrete and then artificial turf on top of that. Everything in the facility will be set up so it can be washed down at the end of every day and sanitized. We plan on installing the best Hepa filtration system available for air circulation. 1510 SW 8th Street, Boynton Beach Conditional Use Application - Response 1. Ingress & Egress: There are 5 areas of ingress and egress to the building. One main entrance double door on the front west entrance. Two separate single doors on the south side of the building, one on the SE corner, the other closest to the SW corner of the south entrance, one loading dock overhead door on the east entrance and also a single door on the east entrance. In the event of an emergency, the dogs will be leashed and immediately taken outside the nearest exit door. All of these doors are operational and will remain operational at all times. 2. Off-street parking and loading areas: There is already an establish traffic pattern in process and that works wonderfully for our use. We do not plan on changing any of the current system. 3. Refuse and Service Areas: We will house any refuse and service items on the rear SE corner of the building and get these emptied semi-weekly at the minimum. 4. Utilities We plan to use all the existing utilities that are currently in place with the exception for the need for natural gas. We do not need natural gas. 5. Screening, Buffering and landscaping: We would like to erect a 6ft screened chain link fence with some sort of sound buffering and privacy screen on both sides surrounding the rear of the property (See Exhibit A) and loading dock area for a pet relief area. It would have a gate to the refuse area but would be secured at all times for the security of the dogs. There will be no more than 5- 7 pets taken out at a time for relief purposes only. Their excrement's will be immediately picked up and disposed of and the animals will be quickly taken back inside. This area will also have some sort of shading structure (large Umbrellas or awnings) and artificial turf for the animals, so they don't get hot. 6. Signs, and proposed exterior lighting: On the main front West elevation of the building we would like to erect a 73" x 138" 12 volt LED, flush mount plastic face, per code sign above the main entrance. This sign would not face traffic, so it should not be an issue. It should however add a decent amount of light to the existing parking lot and make it a brighter and safer place for all of those shopping at Home depot after our business hours are closed. On the main pylon we would like to install two 80" x 42" Digital print flax -face tenant panels, again according to city code. I have attached my trademark paperwork that is in process of being approved. I have attached the Sign documentation! 7. Required Setbacks: Not changing the property so this should be N/A. 8. General Compatibility with adjacent properties: I see a very good compatibility with the adjacent properties, I would like to offer them a deep discount to their employees if they want to bring their dogs to us during the day. They can feel free to stop over and check on them whenever they please and as a whole they should feel guilt free about leaving their pets for longs hours. The parking should never be a problem as I don't foresee us utilizing a great deal of parking spaces, so it should be conflict free. I also plan on offering, Military, law enforcement, government employees and elderly discounts as well. 9. N/A 10. 1 see this to be an extremely beneficial arrangement between all adjacent properties. Not only will the uniqueness of the business I am offering bring new people to the area, however Home depot and the surrounding businesses will also get to benefit from those customers as well. With so much talk in Boynton and the dog beach, this just adds so much more Dog Friendliness to the city of Boynton Beach. The plaza in itself is run down, the building has been vacant for years, yet it's a perfect spot for what I am trying to accomplish. Its centrally located, and easy for people to drop their dogs of on the morning commute or on the way to either airport. This facility in Boynton can really set things apart because nothing like this exists anywhere. I will be offering a minimum of 7 full time jobs to start and possibly up to 10-12. As far as the city is concerned, I see my service as very unique... the amount of people that have dogs in Boynton beach and our surrounding cities is astronomical. I certainly see many people coming from different cities to bring their dogs to experience something unique and fulfilling, as such they are likely to dine at the local establishments in the area too. Here is some data: Local Demographics — Potential Client Base: Numbers supplied from City-Data.com 2016 Number of households in surrounding cities: Boca Raton Boynton Beach Delray Beach Lake Worth Wellington West Palm Beach i C) I -;1 54,811 36,977 33,945 16,134 24,840 54,172 Households 220,879 x 36.5% = 80,620 dog owning households in this area. 80,620 x 87.5% = 70,543 households above poverty level that can afford our services. (poverty level is 12.5%) 70,543 x 1.6 = 112,869 potential dogs in the surrounding cities that would likely use our services. (Approx. 1.6 dogs per household) Another way to look at the numbers: Building location zip 33426: There are approx. 3,594 people per square mile.

Of course, these numbers for Boynton do not include all the new high-rise developments that will soon be built that are steps away from the building. I shall also be offering bulk discounts to those facilities to promote my services which is a win-win so small dogs are not cooped up all day long. **Did you know that annual spending on pets nationwide is estimated at $72 Billion this year, up from $67 Billion in 2016►► 11. N/A - Not changing to mixed use 12. Compliance with and abatement of nuisances and hazards: Noise... I will be buffering noise with acoustical sound panels hanging from the ceiling (not interfering with the sprinklers) My facility is an activity world where the dogs are consumer with a variety of fun events and non-stop activities. They shouldn't be making noise, they should be having fun keeping busy! Odor... As soon as an animal relieves itself outside it will be picked up by staff and properly disposed of. Animals will be outside in no larger groups of max 5-7 dogs for no more than 5 min at a time and always supervised. 13. Sound Study: N/A. Not a bar or nightclub
