Board sets public hearing on proposed agricultural/livestock local law for June 2 at 8 p.m.
Summary
The Grand Island Town Board set a public hearing for June 2 at 8:00 p.m. on a proposed update to the town's agricultural/livestock code (draft local law).
The Grand Island Town Board scheduled a public hearing for 8 p.m. on June 2 to consider a proposed local law revising the town’s agricultural/livestock regulations (the transcript referred to the draft as a local law revision and a code amendment).
Board members reviewed a draft provision clarifying allowable livestock per lot: the draft would treat livestock limits as exclusive rather than cumulative (for example, one acre would allow one horse or one cow or five goats; the draft would allow one cow, one horse and five goats on the same parcel if the language is interpreted as exclusive per species). The board indicated the proposed language clarifies the total allowed animals by category rather than stacking per-acre allowances.
Action: the board moved, seconded and set a public hearing on the proposed agricultural local law (referred to in meeting materials) for June 2 at 8:00 p.m. to receive public comment and continue the matter through the typical public-hearing process.
