Nancy Meyer is one of the lucky ones.

The Jordan City Council rarely grants a kennel permit, but it decided that her situation was not likely to disturb neighbors.Meyer, who lives along Hillside Drive, owns two dogs, which is the limit according to city ordinance.

But:

- one of her dogs is 13 years old, Council Member Mike Shaw said;

- it's a special circumstance because she is training a service dog, Mayor Ron Jabs said;

Dannica Erickson recently moved from Edina to a property along Second Street West in Jordan.

She brought three dogs with her, but city code allows only two per residence.
