Attached is a drawing of our property including details of our backyard and proposed <br />location for the chicken coop and run. <br /> <br />The raised chicken coop itself will be approximately 4’x6’ in diameter and made of wood. It will sit atop <br />a chicken run, which will be approximately 5’x10’ made of chicken wire and wood for structure. The <br />coop and run will be approximately 10’ from the nearest property lines. The south of the property has a <br />privacy fence, which will block most of the view. In addition, the three trees we have planted in our <br />property will also offer some visual block of the coop. The east side of the property has a large pine tree <br />and playset, which would offer some block of the view of the coop. <br /> <br />We have reached out to all our neighbors and communicated our intent. Not only were they supportive, <br />they were also excited to be recipients of local fresh eggs! We have communicated our plan to raise <br />hens for eggs and offer additional responsibility and exposure to our children for caring for animals. We <br />have been clear that we are open to concerns and feedback from our neighbors. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time and consideration of our request. We look forward to hearing from you. Please <br />feel free to contact us with any questions. <br /> <br />Kindly, <br />Stephanie and Stefan Gingerich, Dianela (9) and Brendan (6) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />21
