4 <br />1 City Manager Casey reviewed a request letter and stated a coop site plan diagram was received <br />2 from the applicants, the Wesches. The site plan shows that the planned location of the coop is <br />3 adjacent to an existing garden and 18 feet set back from the south property line with the garden <br />4 separating the coop from the neighboring property to the south. The site plan also shows existing <br />5 vegetation acting as a partial screening buffer along the eastern property line and a tall wooden <br />6 fence along the northern property boundary that would screen the view from the property to the <br />7 north. The applicants' property is bounded by a chain link fence on the east and south sides, <br />8 which does not completely screen the view of the coop from neighboring properties. The <br />9 applicants have indicated that they have communicated with and received verbal consent from <br />10 their neighbors to the east and south regarding their plans to keep a chicken coop in the back <br />11 yard. Mr. Casey reviewed the specifications of the coop. The applicant has indicated that they are <br />12 only planning to keep six chickens on their property. Staff has reviewed the applicant's materials <br />13 and based on the reasonable location shown on the site plan and the statement of neighbor <br />14 consent, do recommend approval of this request to keep six chickens on the property. <br />15 <br />16 Councilmember Stille asked if this was the first request for six chickens. City Manager Casey <br />17 stated he does not recall. <br />18 <br />19 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to adopt Resolution 17- <br />20 046; a Resolution Approving a Request to Keep Chickens in an R -1 Zoning District at 3631 <br />21 Harding Street NE. <br />22 <br />23 Motion carried 5 -0. <br />24 <br />25 C.

A diagram of <br />32 the event submitted was provided for Council review.

Mr. Christopherson stated there will be <br />40 amplified instruments (PA and speakers). The music will face away from the apartment <br />41 buildings. He did not believe there were any issues last year. <br />42 <br />43 Councilmember Gray stated he lives in Silver Lake Condominiums and he enjoyed the music but <br />44 a number of people in the area did not approve. He noted the music is difficult with senior <br />45 housing being even closer than he is and some found it annoying after 6 or 7 p.m. <br />S <br />
