Kincaid board temporarily allows 2 goats and 12 chickens on Garden Street lots
Summary
After months of discussion about whether to change the village's Ag‑1 zoning, trustees voted Dec. 8 to grant a temporary exception for Garden Street lots 1–16 allowing two goats and 12 chickens until the village adopts a revised ordinance.
Trustees resumed a months‑long debate about rezoning Garden Street parcels to Ag‑1 and whether to define allowable livestock counts village‑wide or grant a property‑specific exception.
Attorney Rahar advised the board that rezoning the ordinance would affect all properties and recommended a single, village‑wide update rather than piecemeal changes. Residents Clare Duran and others said they wanted chickens and goats on their lots; trustees also said the village needed to codify parameters so future requests are consistent.
Trustee Broccardo moved to make Garden Street lots 1–16 temporarily Ag‑1 and to allow two goats and 12 chickens for the property owners involved, with the permission to remain temporary while the board develops a formal Ag‑1 ordinance; Trustee Nelson seconded. The motion carried with all ayes.
Board members said the temporary exception applies only to the properties named in the motion and urged the board to draft a permanent ordinance with clear limits that will apply to all Ag‑1 parcels in Kincaid.
