The proposed location along <br />the back wall of the house, between <br />an existing deck and raspberry shrubs. <br />The applicants have not indicated <br />proposed materials, but have stated <br />that it will be 8 feet long by 4 feet <br />wide, and 4 feet in height. <br />It would appear that the proposed <br />location is reasonably well situated, <br />and should meet all setbacks, given <br />the location of the existing home and <br />other structures on the site plan. <br />As noted, the application does not state the materials of the chicken coop or if it will be painted. <br />As noted, the applicants are requesting approval for four female chickens (hens). The City’s requirements <br />specify that the chickens must all be hens, no male roosters permitted on the property to avoid noise <br />concerns. The application indicates compliance with this condition. <br />13
