Applicants ask Fortville council for special exception to keep chickens; council requests neighbor signatures
Summary
Ashley Glasco and Justin McCabe requested a special exception to keep chickens at 322 East Delaware Street; council asked them to obtain neighbor signatures on a form and return at the next meeting, deferring action until neighbors can be notified and heard.
Ashley Glasco and Justin McCabe appeared before the Fortville Town Council on Jan. 20 to request a special‑exception permit to keep chickens at 322 East Delaware Street.
Glasco told the council the property is on the corner of Center and Delaware and said neighbors had been provided a copy of their request. Council members expressed a desire to ensure neighbors were aware and suggested the applicants return with signed neighbor authorization or a petition so residents who object or support the request can be heard. The council suggested the applicants bring signed copies of the notice from adjacent properties before the next meeting; no formal vote was taken and the matter was deferred to the next meeting so neighbors can be notified and provide input.
The council did not object in principle but emphasized the standard process of public notification and neighbor input for special exceptions.
