Scotland commissioners discuss allowing backyard chickens in village center, to fix accessory-structure redundancy
Summary
Commissioner I. Kisluk reported a resident inquiry about permitting chickens in the village center district, noting the regulations currently make no allowances; Commissioner J. Jakubowski flagged redundant accessory-structure language that the commission agreed to address in a future revision.
Commissioner I. Kisluk told the Planning & Zoning Commission that a resident had asked whether backyard chickens could be allowed in the village center district; the minutes state there are currently no allowances for chickens in any district. The commission agreed to discuss a possible regulation amendment under New Business.
Commissioner J. Jakubowski raised a separate but related regulatory issue, noting a redundancy in the accessory-structure provisions of the town’s regulations. The commission recorded that this redundancy will be further addressed in a future revision of the regulations; no ordinance or formal amendment was proposed or voted on at the meeting.
The minutes record discussion but no formal direction to draft an amendment or schedule a public hearing. Any substantive regulatory change would require a subsequent review and, if proposed, public notice and formal action by the commission.
