<br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />To: St. Anthony Village Mayor and City Council <br /> Mark Casey, City Manager <br />From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner <br /> <br />Date: City Council Regular Meeting; July 28, 2020 <br /> <br />NAC Project No. 323.01 – 20.10 <br />Request: Request to keep four (4) chickens in an R-1 Zoning District <br /> <br />Location: 3629 Coolidge Street NE <br /> <br />DISCUSSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff has received an inquiry from the Applicant owners dated July 7, 2020 requesting a permit to keep <br />four female chickens at their residential property at the above address. The property is zoned R-1, Single <br />Family Residential, and is surrounded primarily by single family neighborhood in all directions. <br />The Applicants have provided a diagram <br />of the property showing the location and <br />dimensions of the chicken coop in <br />relation to their property. The location is <br />approximately 6 feet from the rear (east) <br />property line and 8 feet from the side <br />(south) boundary. The structure consists <br />of a fenced-in run with the coop structure <br />above. The run area is proposed to be 6 <br />feet wide by 15 feet long. The application <br />does not specify overall height of the <br />coop. The coop structure itself appears to <br />be 4 feet in height, and would appear to <br />be approximately 7-8 feet in height above <br />ground overall. <br />According to aerial photography, the <br />chicken coop appears to be shielded from <br />neighboring views by existing tree and <br />shrub cover. For accessory buildings, a setback requirement from adjoining side and rear lot lines is 5 <br />feet. As noted above, the applicants propose setbacks of 6 and 8 feet. <br /> <br />27
