determine when his dogs had their most recent rabies shots, as <br />the veterinarian to whom he had last had them, is currently in a <br />dispute with Mr. Hollander regarding unpaid fees on some other <br />animals and will not release Information. The concern by Mr. <br />Hollander is that if rabies shots are given in less than a year's <br />period, there is some danger to the animals. The City has made <br />attempts to get in contact with the veternarian, but to no avail <br />" his point. At this point Mr. Hollander is alleging that his <br />n ibors are also guilty of the regulation under which he was <br />9 a a tag. His claim was that the C.S.O. would not take action <br />on that. Lt. Cheswick did investigate the matter as it relates <br />to the other neighbors but found no basis for a violation. <br />Mr. Hollander is also inquiring as to the City-s permitting <br />process reguarding farm animals under Subd 7 of Section 9.13. <br />While this was adopted as part of the recodification in 1984, no <br />system was ever developed. The requirement does not make a <br />distinction for animal keeping by urban or rural however the <br />zoning code requires 1 acre per animal unit (1 horse, 1 <br />cow/steer, 3 sheep, 58 fowl) plus 1 acre for the prinicipal <br />structure (2 acres if horses are involved.) Such a process would <br />not be a license such as a dog license of the animal but a permit <br />to the resident regarding keeping of animals. (Prior to 1984 <br />there was provision for a Village Livestock Commission relating <br />to permits for horses but no requirement for such permits. It <br />was eliminated by the recodification.) <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Issue 1. Dog Licensing <br />a. Amend the ordinance to allow for grandfathering. <br />b.
