The Medford City Council voted to deny a special permit request for Dogs For Days by a vote of 5-2 at their July 18 meeting.

The failed proposal would have brought a doggie daycare business, run by Michelle Legler and Nick Govatsos, to 29 Linden St.

Councilor Adam Knight questioned whether the proposal qualified for a special permit, and if it would have an “adverse effect” on the neighborhood.

Council President Richard Caraviello and councilors John Falco, Breanna Lungo-Koehn and George Scarpelli voiced concerns regarding smell and noise affecting residents.

Dissenting voters Michael Marks and Fred Dello Russo cited the detail and effort put into the proposal among the reasons for their support.
