<br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />To: St. Anthony Village City Council <br />From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner <br /> <br />Date: City Council Regular Meeting: May 25, 2021 <br /> <br />NAC Project No. 323.01 – 21.05 <br />Request: Request to keep three (3) chickens in an R-1 Zoning District <br /> <br />Location: 3631 Belden Drive <br /> <br />DISCUSSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff has received an application from the owners at 3631 Belden Drive requesting a permit to keep three <br />female chickens at their residential property. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and is <br />surrounded by single family homes in all directions. <br />The Applicants have provided a site plan <br />of the property showing the location and <br />dimensions of the chicken coop in relation <br />to their property. The proposed location <br />is along the side side wall of the detached <br />shed in the rear yard. The applicants have <br />indicated proposed materials as wood, <br />painted to coordinate with the existing <br />shed and adjoining garden wall. The coop <br />is proposed to be just under 7 feet long by <br />3 feet wide, and approximately 4 feet in <br />height. A hardware cloth enclosure would <br />provide run area surrounding the coop. <br />The shed, along with existing vegetation <br />and topography on this and adjoining <br />properties, would appear to obscure view <br />of the structure from neighbors. It would <br />appear that the proposed location is reasonably well situated, and should meet all setbacks, given the <br />location of the existing home and other structures on the site plan. <br />As noted, the applicants are requesting approval for three 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 /> <br />11
