Dundee residents to allow hens; applicant says no roosters, board finds no countywide impact
Summary
Darryl and Kristin Schwartz-Lauster asked to house five to six hens on their 1.13-acre Dundee lot and said there would be no roosters. The Yates County Planning Board found the request presented "no significant countywide impact" under GML 239.
Darryl Lauster and Kristin Schwartz-Lauster presented a request for a livestock permit to keep five or six hens on their 1.13-acre property at 46 Main Street in Dundee. The applicants emphasized that there would be no roosters and that the birds would not be free range. "Made it clear there would be no roosters," the transcript notes as the applicants addressed the board's concern about nuisance or noise.
Board members reviewed village regulations and enforcement considerations. Steven Fulkerson moved that the referral "has no significant countywide impact" under GML 239; Jack Young seconded the motion and the board approved it. The approval indicates the county planning board did not find broader county-level impacts, while local permitting steps and any village enforcement remain in place.
