Township to seek county guidance after two nuisance complaints about animals
Summary
The board received two nuisance complaints—one alleging four dogs at a property and another alleging too many horses per acre—and Chair Mike Helman said he would coordinate with the county to resolve them.
At the Feb. 5 meeting the Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors received two separate nuisance complaints concerning animals. Chair Mike Helman read county ordinances to the board and said he would work with the county and property owners to ensure compliance.
The first complaint concerns property ID 216100332201, which was reported to have four dogs. Helman told the board that if the owner continues to keep four dogs they would need to apply for an interim use permit or a dog kennel. The second complaint concerns property ID 216100332202, reported to have too many horses per acre; Helman said he would contact the county to determine the allowable number of animals per acre.
The minutes do not record any formal enforcement action; the board’s next step is for Helman to consult county rules and report back.
