<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 10, 2022 <br /> <br />NAC Project No. 323.01 – 22.05 <br />Request: Request to keep up to four (4) chickens in an R-1 Zoning District <br /> <br />Location: 3304 32nd Avenue NE <br /> <br />DISCUSSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff has received an application from the owners at 3304 32nd Avenue NE requesting a permit to keep up <br />to four female chickens at their residential property. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, <br />and is surrounded by single family homes in all directions. <br />The Applicants have provided a site <br />plan of the property showing the <br />location and dimensions of the <br />chicken coop in relation to their <br />property. The proposed location is <br />in the rear yard, separated from the <br />neighbor’s existing privacy fence. <br />The applicants have indicated <br />proposed materials as wood, sitting <br />atop the run, which would be wire <br />fencing and wood supports. The <br />coop is proposed to 4 feet wide by <br />6 feet long, above the run with a <br />dimension of 5 feet by 10 feet. The <br />enclosure would be 10 feet from <br />both the rear and side property <br />lines. <br />The fence, along with existing vegetation, would appear to obscure view of the structure from neighbors. <br />It would appear that the proposed location is reasonably well situated in this regard. The recent <br />amendments to the accessory building regulations permit an animal shelter of up to 36 square feet and <br />incorporates such a structure into the allowable uses on residential property. The proposal is consistent <br />with this allowance.
