Comments <br />While we agree that some rules should be put in place to ensure animals are not being neglected or causing extreme <br />disturbance, this seems to be way too much. Instead of burdening our administration and police department with <br />enforcing tight regulation on chickens - this time and effort could be focused on more important issues. <br />What would George Washington do? <br />Must have written notarized permission from neighbors allowing chickens. My neighbors had illegal chickens for 2 <br />years and I notified city several times due to myself getting a citation for THEIR chickens not being contained and <br />wandering into my yard of my home daycare. The 'male city contact' in charge of the complaints did NOTHING <br />about the illegal chickens. Neighbors finally were told to get rid of them in Feb of 2017 when a second neighbor <br />complained. <br />I want some clarification of this. I'm on 5 acres west of the golf course. I'm afraid this ordinance is going to ban <br />roosters and corner me into only have 12 chickens. Also, if that is going to happen it basically says I can't let me <br />chickens out of the run- and that absurd when I'm on 5 acres. <br />K-eep them out of the neighborhoods. <br />I strongly disagree with allowing any chickens on property's under 2.5 acres. Do not ruin our neighborhood and <br />outdoor enjoyment by allowing this. People can't even seem to take care their dogs, and dog urine and feces, let <br />alone allowing additional animals. I pay very large property taxes to live in this kind of neighborhood and that <br />would be ridiculous to be burdened with neighbors' live hobbies. I can't disagree more with allowing chickens!!!!! <br />Chickens should not be allowed in residential areas. I don't want to look at any in closure with chickens. Also, the <br />screened in areas that hold the chickens tend to be an eye sore, may smell and attract unwanted animals into the <br />neighborhood. <br />This would be a great experience for kids who live in the City. What about the impact of outdoor cats on the wild <br />bird population or the mess that dogs leave? A well -kept group of chickens is pretty quiet and provides a direct <br />food benefit as well as an opportunity for kids to learn. <br />What about other foul that people are putting in chicken coops, such as large pigeons? <br />Page 15 <br />
