MEMORANDUM To: St. Anthony Village City Council From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date: City Council Regular Meeting; April 14, 2020 NAC Project No. 323.01 – 20.05 Request: Request to keep six (6) chickens in an R-1 Zoning District Location: 3511 Harding St NE DISCUSSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff has received an inquiry from the Applicant owners dated March 25th, 2020 requesting a permit to keep six female chickens at their residential property at the above address. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and is surrounded primarily by single family neighborhood in all directions. The Applicants have provided a diagram of the property showing the location and dimensions of the chicken coop in relation to their property. The proposed location runs parallel to the detached garage on the property, placed along the east side of the property and north of the garage. The proposed chicken coop structure would be approximately 4 feet wide by 6 feet long, with a fenced “run” of 6 feet by 12 feet, extending west from the coop. The application states that the height of the coop will be 4 feet tall and the run is proposed to be 6 feet tall. According to the site plans provided by the applicants, the coop is proposed to be located along the side of the detached garage and follow similar setbacks of approximately 10 feet from the east rear yard boundary line. For accessory buildings, a setback requirement from adjoining side and rear lot lines is 5 feet. The chicken coop will meet all setback requirements. The chicken coop will be shielded by the garage from the neighbors to the south and by a privacy fence from the neighbors to the north. The neighbors to the east of the property will only see the back of the proposed chicken coop. 45
