JOINT MOTION
TO STAY
The parties
to this matter, BRENT
HARRIS, PATTY HARRIS, and WINDSCHANT
KENNEL,
INC.
(collectively,
“respondents”),
DORIS
GLAVE
and
GLENN
GLAVE
(collectively,
“the
Glaves”),
and
THE
VILLAGE
OF
GRAYSLAKE (“the
Village”), jointly
move the Board for
a stay of these consolidated matters.
This motion is brought pursuant
to
Section
101.514 of the
Board’s procedural rules.
(35 III.Adm.Code
101 .514.)
1.
The parties have reached a settlement ofthis matter.
In brief, respondents have
agreed
to
build
an
enclosed
kennel
at
a
different
location
on
respondents’
1
property, and have agreed to cease using the
existing kennel to house dogs or
other “noise-making animals”.
A copy ofthe executed settlement agreement is
attached as Exhibit A.
2.
In
exchange for respondents’ agreement to build the
new kennel,
cease using
the
existing
kennel,
and
record
a
covenant,
the
Glaves and
the
Village
have
agreed to
dismiss
their complaints, with
prejudice.
However,
the
agreement
does
not require the Glaves and the Village to dismiss their complaints
until 21
days after the “Cessation
Date,” provided the terms of the settlement agreement
are
satisfied.
The
“Cessation
Date”
is
defined
as
15
days
after
the
Village
issues a certificate ofoccupancy for the new kennel, or May 2, 2006, whichever
is sooner.
3.
The
parties
have
agreed
to
seek
a
stay of
these
proceedings,
to
allow
the
respondents to build the
kennel and transfer the
dogs from the existing kennel.
(See Exhibit A, paragraph
7.)
Seeking a stay of the case,
rather than dismissing
it now, protects the Glaves and the Village
in
the unlikely event that the dogs are
not
moved from
the
existing kennel
by the Cessation Date.
In that event,
the
Glaves and the
Village
can chose to terminate the settlement agreement
and
pursue this action before the
Board.
4.
Therefore, the
parties jointly seek
a stay of these
cases until May
3, 2006.
(In
the event that the Cessation Date turns out to be sooner than May 2, 2006, the
Glaves and the Village are under an obligation to dismiss these cases within 21
2
days,
provided the terms of the settlement agreement are satisfied.
Therefore,
the cases would be dismissed prior to the
expiration of the
stay.)
5.
These cases are enforcement cases, and thus have
no decision
deadline.
6.
Allowing a stay of these cases to May
3, 2006, would protect the parties,aflow
time for the implementation of the agreement, and
conserve the parties’ resources.
WHEREFORE,
the
parties jointly move the Board for
a stay of these proceedings
until May 3,
2006, or for such
other relief as the Board deems
appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,
BRENT HARRIS, PATTY HARRIS, and WINDS
CHANT KENNELS
