After reviewing the city policies around number of animals allowed, and due to Rooster's/Drake's not <br />being permitted, I can find no reason whatsoever to oppose this, and am completely in favor of it. <br />As someone who grew up on a farm in West Central Minnesota, we raised chickens, ducks, geese, pheasants, rabbits, <br />quail, etc., etc., etc. I am scratching for what concerns could arise from the Wiesner's raising chickens, and the only <br />things that would come to mind are noise and odor. Let me share this from experience: hen chickens make very little <br />noise, and being the maximum is 8 chickens, there wouldn't be any odor from that few animals. <br />One additional thing I would add to this: when sending out this notice, it would greatly benefit neighbors who did not <br />grow up in my situation to include the city policy, specifically on the number of animals allowed, and also that rooster's <br />and drake's are not allowed. I would also think it prudent to potentially include which of the animals the resident wants <br />to raise. <br />Thanks, <br />Jacob Nelson <br />8230 Knollwood Dr. <br />Mounds View <br />
