Town Board voted to allow me to have chickens [View all]

The vote was 5-0 in favour.

I've been going to every monthly town board meeting since February and have also attended several planning commission meetings. It all came to fruition earlier this week.

I'm allowed up to 4 hens.

I have up till October 31 to get the coop built and once that is done, a 1 year trial period will begin. No one else will be permitted to have chickens until the trial period is over. If there isn't any significant issues, then others will be allowed to apply.

It's quite possible I'd still have chickens but no one else could. I'd have to screw up bad to lose my permit
