I have kept 4 hens before in Centerville for 2 years. They are easy to own. Dogs <br /> are more work. Washing your dishes is more work than keeping 4 -6 hens. You can do the <br /> daily feeding and cleaning in under 10 minutes. I have a bad back so when I say its not <br /> difficult its not. <br /> Of course the owning of hens would be a personal choice. Just as me not owning a cat, or a <br /> cat person not owning a dog. Some people have no time for any pet and look at pets as work <br /> only. <br /> I am looking to get the City of Centerville to allow Hens. Hens are quiet and not loud. <br /> Lawn mowers, Trimmers, Motor cycles, Kids, Dogs, Airplanes, Birds in the trees and Crows <br /> are much louder. They sleep the whole night through and make zero sounds at night. <br /> I am for the keeping of no roosters because they are vocal. <br /> I am for keeping Chickens contained in your yard. <br /> I am for growing your own food as best you can. <br /> Some cities that allow Chicken here in MN are Roseville, Oakdale, Cottage Grove, West St. <br /> Paul, St. Paul, Montrose, Anoka, Ramsey, Otsego, Maplewood, Dayton, Andover, Fridley, <br /> Duluth, Minnetonka, Maple Grove, Vadnais Heights, New Brighton, Burnsville, Richfield, <br /> Saint Paul Park, Newport, Bloomington, Robbinsdale, Shoreview, and Stillwater. <br /> Dallas could you forward this to the PZ committee, Mayor, and City council members. <br /> Thank You, <br /> Charles Reinhardt <br /> 1723 Meadow Lane <br /> Centerville, MN 55038 651 - 407 -3440 <br /> This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service. <br /> For more information please visit http: / /www.symanteccloud.com <br /> 1 <br />
