App�n ved <br />A member asked if this would preclude her to till up her entire yard for a rose garden and sprayed pesticides, but did this <br />for personal use and did not sell the roses. Ms. Gundlach responded this might or might not fit into offensive behavior. <br />She was only using what she said as examples and not what was or would actually occur. <br />Chair Howard stated the question was if they wanted to have staff do more with this than what they were doing today, <br />they would agree to regulation and discuss what regulation meant later. <br />A member stated if they encouraged best practices, would that open the door to a possible legal issue. <br />It was the consensus of the Task Force to continue discussion of the sale of produce /CSAs and discuss this again at a later <br />date. <br />Mr. Hatch stated with respect to larger animals, this was something they got at the public comment forum or seen in the <br />written comments. He stated this could relate to horses, goats, cows, or pigs, etc. He stated they did have some <br />regulations on this, but maybe this needed more regulation or needed to be looked at again. <br />A member asked if there were any issues with large animals. <br />Chair Howard asked what the current regulation was. Ms. Gundlach summarized the regulation. <br />Mr. Hatch stated he had been in an apartment with a potbelly pig and there was a cougar kept in the City at one time, but <br />this was years ago. <br />Ms. Gundlach stated a cougar was an exotic animal and Council had already said that was not an issue at this time and <br />if /when it occurred it would be handled at that time. <br />Chair Howard asked if today a person could have as many goats on their property as they wanted. <br />• member stated if this became an issue in the future, it could be looked at at that time. <br />• member asked if they wanted to address this now or just leave it as it was. <br />It was the consensus of the Task Force to leave this as status quo. <br />Mr. Hatch stated with respect to garden structures, greenhouses the current status was if this was a structure it needed to <br />meet a setback. He stated this would apply to a substantial greenhouse and not a raised bed. <br />A member asked what happened if this was a temporary structure. Ms. Gundlach stated they had one greenhouse that <br />they deemed to be a structure and this applied to seasonal structures also and would need to meet the setback requirement. <br />She stated they also had a coop that was constructed which people did not like the way it looked, but it met the setback. <br />Mr. Hatch stated these structures needed to meet setback and be in the backyard or side yard as long as it was 30 feet off <br />of the front property line. <br />Ms. Gundlach stated many times they did not know when things went up and they relied on the neighbors to tell them. <br />It was the consensus of the Task Force to leave raised bed/greenhouses as status quo. <br />Mr. Hatch stated with respect to bees there was no regulation right now. <br />A member asked if there had been complaints or issues regarding bees. Mr. Hatch responded there had only been one <br />complaint, which was resolved right away. <br />6 <br />
