4 1 City Manager Casey reviewed a request letter and stated a coop site plan diagram was received 2 from the applicants, the Wesches. The site plan shows that the planned location of the coop is 3 adjacent to an existing garden and 18 feet set back from the south property line with the garden 4 separating the coop from the neighboring property to the south. The site plan also shows existing 5 vegetation acting as a partial screening buffer along the eastern property line and a tall wooden 6 fence along the northern property boundary that would screen the view from the property to the 7 north.
