"I won't have to be looking over my back," said Nigliazzo.

Nigliazzo has been at odds over his neighbor's animal sanctuary in a rural area between Ebenezer and Brighton, east of the Springfield Municipal Landfill. His biggest concern is the exotic monkeys at the sanctuary. Last month, he described how he snapped a picture of one that came right to his house.

"I had one monkey, he was right there on my porch. And when I tried to take a photo of him, he tried to get in through that window at me," Nigliazzo said.

Nigliazzo said three monkeys have escaped from his neighbor's farm.

"They're dangerous," he said.

In 90 days, the primates are supposed to be gone. On Tuesday morning, Greene County commissioners told the Rose family they couldn't obtain a conditional use permit necessary to run a sanctuary on their property, because the facility isn't up to safety standards. The county lets residents keep only one or two exotic animals at a single home without a conditional use permit.

KY3 News met with the Rose family last month. Drew Rose and his siblings have been running the not-for-profit animal sanctuary for six years.

"This is what I love, this is my passion," said Rose.

Rose said they take in animals that need rehabilitation.

"We just want to help animals out and give them a better place, give them a second chance. Sorry; I get a little emotional," he said.

Now Rose will have to find a new home for the animals. He says they will find a new place for their sanctuary but haven't decided on a location.

It's a move that couldn't make Nigliazzo more pleased. He believes the commissioners made the right decision.

"There's a lot of children around here. It's going to be safer for them," said Nigliazzo.

The county will inspect the property at 30- and 60-day intervals to make sure they're making progress relocating the animals by the 90-day deadline. The refuge came to the attention of county officials after three monkeys escaped, one last April and two last May.

Incidentally, the brothers and sister who run the animal sanctuary are the children of Debby Rose. She lost a legal fight to take her monkey into restaurants and businesses. Rose claims it helps her with anxiety and panic attacks, but a judge rejected her assertion that she even has a disability.
