Residents are limited to no more than eight <br />chickens or ducks restricted to only backyard areas. This Ordinance became effective on <br />August 3, 2015. <br />Discussion: Seth Kaduce, owner of 8086 Long Lake Road, has submitted an application to raise <br />and keep eight chickens on is property. Attached is the application for the City Council's <br />consideration. The City requires that backyard areas within which the chickens are allowed to <br />roam must be fenced. A site inspection conducted on May 28th indicated that a fence exists in <br />the rear yard behind the garage enclosing an area approximately15' by 25'. The site plan <br />submitted shows that the coop will have adequate setbacks. It appears Mr. Kaduce meets all <br />requirements under Ordinance 903. <br />In accordance with Ordinance 903, initial applications shall be considered by the City Council <br />after holding a public hearing. Renewals may be approved administratively unless the City has <br />received substantial complaints or related violations have been documented during the previous <br />year. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Our ordinance and this application are consistent with the <br />Vision Statement, "...welcoming a desirable destination to all ages and cultures ... and a place <br />where residents can live, work and play." <br />Financial Impact: None <br />Recommendation: Staff recommends opening this public hearing for public comment and <br />approval of this license request.
