3. In 1973 the Council adopted Chapter 110, "Animal Regulations" (See attached Ordinance #157)which dealt with: Animals at large, including impoundment, disposition, and fees. Declared that "No person shall keep any animal in a manner creating a public or private nuisance." Included items a. thru f. as adopted by the 1970 revision of 34.037. Defined regulations for the riding of horses. Authorized the establishment of a 3-person Livestock Commission to "assist the Village Clerk in inspection of the premises of those seeking a horse permit,to receive complaints from those aggrieved by animal owners or keepers,to investigate complaints,to advise animal owners against whom complaints have been lodged, and to advise the Village Council as to appropriate action." Again revised 34.037 as follows: "34.037.Animals.The keeping of domestic animals for non-commercial purposes including horses for the use of the occupants of the premises,provided that any accessory building used for housing such animals shall be located not less than 150 feet from the nearest lot line, providedt-s A minimum of two acres of open pasture must be available for a single horse, and-that one additional acre must be available for each additional horse. Where When the horses are kept stabled and do not require pasture for feed purposes, thitthe minimum pasture requirement may be adjusted at the discretion of the Council. Such minimum pasture acreage shall be exclusive of minimum lot requirements and shall not include low lying lands unusable for pasture or grazing.Any person keeping such animals must comply with the provisions of Chapter 110." 4. In the 1975 code revision, Section 34.037 was renumbered as 34.031 and revised as follows: "34.037.Animals.The keeping of domestic animals for non-commercial purposes including horses for the use of the occupants of the premises,provided that any accessory building used for housing such animals shall be located not less than 150 feet from the nearest lot line.A minimum of one acre in aggregate.exclusive of one acre for the principal building.must be available for each animal unit.except as hereinafter set forth.A minimum of two acres of open pasture must be available for a single horse,and one additional acre must be available for each additional horse.

Such minimum pasture acreage shall atd-shell not include low lying lands unusable for pasture or grazing.Any person keeping such animals must comply with the provisions of Chapter 110." 5.

Also, sections of Chapter 110 were either relocated to other sections of the code or dropped. The provisions for a Livestock Commission were dropped.
