Trustees weigh special‑use permit to allow backyard chickens
Summary
President Timothy H. Owens told the committee the village is researching a special‑use permit to allow non‑agricultural residents to keep chickens, with proposed guidelines for coop structures and limits on flock size; no ordinance was adopted.
President Timothy H. Owens told the committee the village is researching how to allow non‑agricultural residents to keep chickens and that "a special use permit is being considered which would require certain guidelines such as coup structures and the number of chickens allowed to be followed." Owens presented the matter during the president's report and no formal ordinance or vote occurred during the session.
The discussion is at a research stage: trustees did not draft or vote on text for the permit at the Jan. 28 meeting. The item will return for further review if staff or trustees develop specific ordinance language or operational guidelines.
