Resident asks board to allow backyard chickens; trustees say ordinance cap would be needed
Summary
Resident Sonya Bowsher asked the board to allow chickens in town, saying she has kept them for 10 years without odor; the board discussed amending the ordinance to permit chickens with a capped number.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, resident Sonya Bowsher asked whether the board would allow chickens within village limits, saying she has kept them for 10 years and they "do not smell." The board discussed whether the ordinance could be amended to allow chickens in town and indicated a cap on the number of birds would likely be required.
Bowsher also asked about orange cones placed near her property; public works staff responded that they were still working on the project. The minutes record the question-and-answer exchanges but do not show any formal motion to change the ordinance; trustees discussed potential amendment language in concept only.
