I've read the local municipality bylaw concerning dogs. I have to question the wording.
What exactly constitutes "persistant" disturbing of the quiet of the neighbourhood. You would have to take into account the "quiet" of the neighbourhood itself before judging if the dogs were, in fact, disturbing it.
Such as, kids playing in the neighbourhood. They raise the level of quiet. Same as traffic, air conditioners, lawn mowers, stereos on back patios, etc. All of these factors affect the "quiet" of the neighbourhood.
I think you have made quite the case for yourselves. Your fence is high enough, you HAVE a fence, I'm sure you let your dogs out during normal hours, the dogs were not a neighbourhood problem before this tenant moved in.
i would say, go extreme and record the "quiet" of the neighbourhood... either manually or with a tape recorder.
now, where the bylaw wording really falls apart is at "or any resident thereof." Meaning one resident is given more power than the overall neighbourhood's welfare. This one stumps me. |
