It c ertainly does not improve the health and well being of residents or of property values. I think it would be a detriment to both of those fac tors. 10/16/2020 9:30 AM 60 Number of chic k ens allowed to hav e s hould be est ablished. Number of c hic k ens per coop should also be defined, i.e., y ou c an't hav e 30 chickens in one coop. They should be healthy chic k ens, is there s omeway to hav e them c ertified to state they are healthy. The handling, care, treatment, and transportation must follow the guiedelines of the Animal Prot ection Ac t. 10/16/2020 9:09 AM 61 Who will be monitoring the neighborhoods t o s ee if theses are being followed? Are we hiring additional st aff? Who is paying for these to be enforced? 10/16/2020 8:18 AM 62 Free range, birds should not be kept in c oops. Would bring in more coyotes.10/16/2020 8:15 AM 63 An expens ive permit!10/16/2020 8:12 AM 64 There are movable c hicken coops which allow the birds to f orage in other areas of the lawn. But they could primarily be housed in one area. I would not want the guidelines to prohibit this ability to allow the chic k ens to move about as long as they are in a c oop. 10/16/2020 8:11 AM 65 If the rules are s ane, y ou shouldn't need permission from neighbors. Too many people not educated enough. 10/15/2020 11:09 PM 66 No roosters only 10/15/2020 9:51 PM 67 Max imum number of chickens allowed per square foot.10/15/2020 9:39 PM 68 Number of chic k ens per hous ehold 10/15/2020 9:22 PM 69 Permission from neighbors is absolutely neces s ary.10/15/2020 8:01 PM 70 I’d lik e the ordinanc e to be written so a majorit y of properties c ould have chickens if they wanted. For ins tanc e, set backs of 200’ from property lines is ex c es siv e for our property. Also, I think setbacks from back lot lines that back up to trails could be less than side lot s that are up agains t neighbors y ards. 10/15/2020 6:37 PM 71 Three things; notify the c ity of chic k en pres enc e; coop must be at least 15 feet from a neighboring res idenc e (not the garage); mus t agree to arbitrate differences with a neighbor. 10/15/2020 6:15 PM 72 Chickens are fine, but the burdens that come with chic k ens s hould nev er be imposed on others due to proximity or neglec ted level of c are/maintenanc e 10/15/2020 6:10 PM 73 Why s hould I hav e to objec t to a neighbor hav ing chic kens. With varianc e objection, it c auses unfriendly relations for y ears to c ome. 10/15/2020 6:09 PM 74 If any neighbor within a one block radius of the requested s ite objects for any reas on- permit should be denied. 10/15/2020 5:13 PM 75 a max number of chic k ens 10/15/2020 4:09 PM 76 If the City approv es laying hens , in addition to all of the above, mak e the City res ponsible to monitor or polic e what they have approved and not ex pect peoples neighbors to work it out with one another when issues are report ed to the City. Bac k y ards are not intended as hobby farms in urban areas . 10/15/2020 2:19 PM 77 Location more important than dis tanc e ; a bac k c orner is okay. Maybe distanc e from other dwellings, but not distance from property. 10/15/2020 1:54 PM
