 Michelle Bennett stated it's a long standing habit of irresponsible behavior of the owner. The
 dog behavior is becoming more and more aggressive as he charges. The dog would come
 out of no where. This is a eighty five (85) pound dog running at full gallop, with the teeth
 bared, barking and growling and coming much too close for comfort. It's frightening for her
 and there's literally nothing she can do with the situation. She asking the committee to limit
 the privileges to keep everyone safe. It's irresponsible for any one to have their dogs
 running free in that area. This is a conservation area, there are at least two (2) different
 kind of wild species, turtles, wild turkeys, deers and coyotes.
