Apparently, not PetSuites for the time being, as the project was unanimously voted down at the Monday, Nov. 16 regular meeting of the Cave Creek Town Council. At the heart of the matter was concern over the noise of 25 dogs barking so close to a residential area. There were also concerns over parking, traffic and ingress/egress. PetSuites does have the option to resubmit while addressing those issues.
