members who felt 8 fowl may be too high of a number and they didn't see why someone <br />would have a need to keep more than 12 (to review the entire debate review the May <br />meeting minutes and/or the audio and video of the May meeting on the City of New <br />Brighton website). The number of fowl permitted per lot is listed below along with <br />square foot requirements for coops. <br />Lot size in square_ feet <br />Maximum # of fowl <br />Coop size, minimum 3 square feet per chicken <br /><10,000 <br />8 <br />24 <br />10,001- 15,000 <br />12 <br />36 <br />15,001- 20,000 <br />16 <br />48 <br />Roosters the task force discussed this issue in depth and felt there were 4 options for <br />roosters; ban them, treat their noise similar to dogs barking, adopt a "curfew" limiting the <br />hours they could be outside, or keep the status quo. Five members voted to adopt <br />language that would treat them similar to dogs barking, 3 members voted for status quo, <br />and 1 member split their vote between the dog barking ordinance option and the curfew. <br />The task force was advised the City staff (Public Safety) currently responsible for <br />enforcing the barking dog ordinance doesn't think the ordinance is specific enough to <br />provide adequate control. The task force felt if the barking dog ordinance is ever updated <br />any similar rooster ordinance language could be updated to reflect the same changes. The <br />task force thought the Council could change any portion of the recommendation if things <br />changed and an issue becomes a bigger problem. <br />Attachments <br />UFTF Voting Matrix <br />All Urban Farming Task Force packets are available on the City of New Brighton website. <br />
