Briarwood Action Association adopts rule allowing limited backyard chickens on larger lots
Summary
At its Oct. 13 meeting the Briarwood Action Association unanimously adopted a rule permitting homeowners with lots of 0.2 acres or larger to keep one chicken coop with up to six chickens (no roosters); the coop must be placed behind the front of the house.
The Briarwood Action Association unanimously adopted a rule on Oct. 13 allowing limited backyard chickens for larger lots.
The motion, offered by Josh Brower and seconded by Greg Davis, allows homeowners whose lots are at least two-tenths of an acre to keep a single chicken coop housing up to six chickens; roosters are prohibited. The adopted rule requires that the coop be placed behind the front of the house. The motion carried unanimously.
Board members referenced a recent change in Missouri law permitting chicken coops in homeowners associations; the meeting minutes note that as the reason the board brought the rule forward. The transcript does not specify the statutory citation or whether the association amended its governing documents or adopted a separate rule; the board recorded the new rule as association policy enacted by motion.
The board did not record any conditions for inspection, permitting, or enforcement in the minutes beyond the lot-size and placement requirements. The association’s recorded action does not specify an effective-on date beyond the Oct. 13 motion.
