The applicants would like to reconstruct and reconfigure their lake access stair system to make it
safer and allow for better screening from the lake. The lake access stair hardcover is allowed
hardcover within the 0 to 75' zone however the new stair configuration will increase hardcover
by 251 square feet and must be reviewed and approved as a variance.

Hardcover Variance
The applicant's proposed plan increases hardcover within the 0-75'zone by 251 square feet over
the existing level; resulting in 16.2% hardcover where 14.5%currently exists. The increase is the
result of widening the stair to the code-allowed 4-foot width where the current stair is
approximately 2.5 feet wide.
Conditional Use Permit �
Earth movement which exceeds 10 cubic yards within 75 feet of the lake requires a CUP. The ,
applicant's grading activity is very minimal and may not quite trigger the CUP requirements; •
however,staff felt it was appropriate to follow the CUP review analysis.
The City Engineer has reviewed the plans from a stability and safety perspective; and has
generally approved the applicant's plans. The public hearing should address any additional non-
engineering related concerns regarding erosion prevention or stabilization of slope; natural re-
.vegetation and appearance from the lake, excess hardcover and impacts to adjacent properties.
City Code section 78-1286 offers guidance for reviewing this type of CUP.
• • Alterations must be designed and conducted in a manner that ensures only the smallest
amount of bare ground is exposed for the shortest time possible. Mulches or similar
materials must be used, where necessary, for temporary bare soil coverage, and a
permanent vegetation cover must be established as soon as possible.
Comment: The proposal will be reviewed to assure limited exposure of bare soil and
.-.. -. establishment of stabilizing vegetation. •
• Methods to minimize soil erosion and to trap sediments before they reach any surface
water feature must be used. Altered areas must be stabilized to acceptable erosion
control standards consistent with the field office technical guides of the local soil and
water conservation districts and the United States Soil Conservation Service.
� FILE#12-3568
15 august 2012
Page 3 of 4
, Comment: The City requires the applicant have an erosion control plan and collects an
escrow security to assure the applicant and contractor will maintain erosion control
protection throughout the duration of the project.
• Fill or excavated material must not be placed in a manner that creates an unstable
. slope. Plans to place fill or excavated material on steep slopes must be reviewed by the
city engineer for continued slope stability and must not create finished slopes of 30
. percent or greater. -
Comment: The city engineer will review the plans to assure protection of the slope as
well as the lake.
• Fill or excavated material must not be placed in bluff impact zones. Any alterations
� below the ordinary high water level of public waters must first be authorized by the
commissioner of the department of natural resources under Minn.Stat. § 103G.245.
Comment: Alterations below the OHWL or within a bluff impact zone are not proposed.
• Alterations of topography must only be allowed if they are accessory to permitted or
conditional uses and do not adversely affect adjacent or nearby property.
.. Comment: Topographic alterations are not proposed. �-:=
, • Placement of natural rock riprap, including associated grading. of the shoreline and
placement of a filter blanket, is permitted if the finished slope does not exceed three
feet horizontal to one foot vertical, the landward extent of the riprap is within ten feet
of the ordinary high water level, and the height of the riprap above the ordinary high
water level does not exceed three feet. A riprap permit shall be obtained per the
requirements of section 78-969.
NA �
�• Excavations where the intended purpose is connection to a public water, such as boat
slips, canals, lagoons and harbors, are prohibited above the ordinary high water level.
Such excavations below the elevation or the ordinary high water level are subject to �
• approval of the department of natural resources and other agencies with concurrent
jurisdiction.

Practical Difficulties Statement
Applicant has completed the Practical Difficulties Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B,
and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application.
Practical Difficulties Analysis
In considering applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of
the proposed variance upon tf►e health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and
anticipated tra�c conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the
effect on va/ues of property in the surrounding area. The P/anning Commission sha/l consider
recommending approval for variances from the litera/ provisions of the Zoning Code in
instances where their strict enforcement would cause practica/ di�cu/ties because of
circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend
approva/only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirif and
FILE#12-3568 '
° 15 august 2012
Page 4 of 4
intent of the Orono.Zoning Code.
Staff finds the applicant has demonstrated practical difficulties specific to the topography of the
lot and in the orientation, width and condition of the existing staircase. Staff supports granting
the 0-75' zone hardcover variance and a CUP to allow construction of the new stairway to the
lake.
Issues for Consideration •
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variances, if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood? �
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the requested variances?
4. Does the Commission find there are additional conditions which should be placed
upon the CUP approval?
5. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Staff Recommendation �•
Planning Staff recommends approval of the CUP for the minimal grading work within the 0 to 75
foot zone as well as a hardcover variance to allow the reconstruction and reorientation of the
lake access stair.

PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES DOCUMENTATION FORM
This form is a required submittal for ALL variance app(ications. An application will not be considered
complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is complete and submitted to the City.
Minnesota State Statutes Section 462.357, Subdivision 6(2) requires that practical diffculties be demonstrated in .
• order for a variance to be granted. The difficulties must be unique to the property as variances run with the land
and not the land`owner. Personal and economic situations are nof considered valid pracfical difficulfies. In order
for an application to be heard by the Planning Commission and City Council practical difficulties having merit must
be demonstrated.
HOW DO I PROVE A PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY?
This form has 12 points outlining the basis City staff uses to determine if practical difficulties exist and how the
variance will affect the surrounding community. To prove practical difficulties, address all the relevant points
listed below and answer them as clearly as possible.
Since you are requesting the code exception, you have the burden of proving that the variance is justified.
The information the City receives is what is used in determining a denial or approval recommendation. If you
� leave something out it will not be considered.
Please address each of fhese difficulties criferia as they relate to fhe reque`sf, if they do nof apply, write N/A in the y

• Sec. 78-1282. Driveways, stairways, lifts and landings.
(a) A driveway no wider than eight feet is permitted in the shoreland or
tributary setback zone if the property has no other frontage on or access
to a public or private road.
(b) . Stairways and lifts are the preferred alternative to major topographic
alterations for achieving access up and down bluffs and steep slopes to
' shore areas. Stairways, lifts and landings shall be allowed in the shore
setback zone and must meet the following design requirements:
�(1) Stairways and lifts must not exceed four feet in width.
(2) Landings for stairways and lifts shall not exceed 32 square feet in area.
(3) Canopies or roofs are not allowed on stairways, lifts, or landings.
(4) Stairways, lifts and landings may be either constructed above the ground
on posts or pilings or placed into the ground, provided they are designed
and built in a manner that ensures control of soil erosion.
(5) Stairways, lifts and landings must be located in the most visually
inconspicuous portions of lots, as viewed from the surtace of the public
water, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions, whenever practical.
�F�, ;�,�.
(6) Facilities necessary to provide shore area access to physically
handicapped persons shall be allowed, provided that the dimensional
and performance standards of subsections(1)--(5)of this section are
completed in addition to the requirements of the Minnesota Regulations,
�chapter 1340. �
(7) A building permit shall be obtained for construction of stairways, lifts and
landings regardless of whether such improvements are constructed

into account the following considerations:
(1) Such improvements shall be designed to take advantage of natural
vegetation and topography to achieve maximum screening from view
from public waters. '
(2) All roads and parking areas shall be designed and constructed to
minimize and control erosion to public waters consistent with the
requirements of all agencies with jurisdiction.
� (d) Except for those projects requiring permits for construction of structures,
sewage treatment systems and driveways, a land alteration permit will be
required as follows:
(1) For movement of one through 500 cubic yards of material anywhere
• within the Shoreland Overlay District, a staff-issued land alteration permit -
shall be required.
(2) For movement of more than 500 cubic yards of material with in the

� � the issuance of construction permits, grading and filling permits,
conditional use permits, variances and subdivision approvals:
(1) Grading or filling in any type 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 wetland must be
evaluated to determine how extensively the proposed activity would
•' affect the following functional qualities of the wetland:
a. Sediment and pollutant trapping and retention;
b. Storage of surface runoff to prevent or reduce flood damage;
c. Fish and wildlife habitat;
d. Recreational use;
e. Shoreline or bank stabilization; and
f. Noteworthiness, including special qualities, such as historic significance,
critical habitat for endangered plants and animals, or others.
This evaluation must also include a determination of whether the wetland alteration being proposed
requires permits, reviews or approvals by other sections of city
ordinances or by other local state or federal agencies including but not
� limited to watershed districts, state department of natural resources, or
the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
(2) Alterations must be designed and conducted in a manner that ensures
only the smallest amount of bare ground is exposed for the shortest time
possible.
� (3) Mulches or similar materials must be used, where necessary, for �
temporary bare soil coverage, and a permanent vegetation cover must
be established as soon as possible. •
(4) Methods to minimize soil erosion and to trap sediments before they
reach any surface water feature must be used.
(5) �Altered areas must be stabilized to acceptable erosion control standards
consistent with the field office technical guides of the local soil and water
� conservation districts and the United States Soil Conservation Service.
(6) Fill or excavated material must not be placed in a manner that creates an
unstable slope.
(7) Plans to place fill or excavated material on steep slopes must be
reviewed by the city engineer for continued slope stability and must not
� create finished slopes of 30 percent or greater.
(8) Fill or excavated material must not be placed in bluff impact zones.
(9) Any alterations below the ordinary high water level of public waters must
first be authorized by the commissioner of the department of natural
resources under Minn. Stat. § 103G.245.
(10) Alterations of topography must only be allowed if they are accessory to
' permitted or conditional uses and do not adversely affect adjacent or '
nearby property.
(11) Placement of natural rock riprap, including associated grading of the
shoreline and placement of a filter blanket, is permitted if the finished
slope does not exceed three feet horizontal to one foot vertical, the
landward extent of the riprap is within ten feet of the ordinary high water
level, and the height of the riprap above the ordinary high water level
does not exceed three feet. A riprap permit shall be obtained per the
requirements of section 78-969.
(fl Excavations where the intended purpose is connection to a public water,
s,,,_. such as boat slips, canals, lagoons and harbors, are prohibited above
the ordinary high water level. Such excavations below the elevation��or
the ordinary high water level are subject to approval of the department of
� natural resources and other agencies with concurrent jurisdiction. .

Discussion
The non-rental guest apartment provisions in the zoning code allow for two types of guest
apartments: an apartment with a door to the outside and an apartment without a door to the
outside. The non-rental guest apartments in Orono homes are used any number of ways for
example, as a true "mother-in-law apartment" for parents/grandparents; as an apartment for
domestic employees;or as private quarters for short-term guests. According to the zoning code,
a guest apartment must be physically connected to the home and access to the apartment in all
cases must be primarily through the principal structure and not via a separate "front door". If
an additional door is provided�which accesses directly to the outside of'the home a conditional
use permit is required.
Prior to applying for a building permit, the applicant approached Planning staff with questions
regarding the design of the proposed home which included a guest apartment for extended
family. The home's design is a walk-out rambler with 4 garage stalls. Upon review of the
proposed plans planning staff felt the design did not conform to the traditional guest apartment
layout in that the home appeared to be a duplex. The property is zoned for a single family
dwelling and duplex is not permitted. Staff urged the applicant to redesign to eliminate the
� "duplex feel".As a result,the applicant provided modifications to the design to better define the
spaces and the intent. This is the plan attached as`Exhibit C. Due to the proposed exterior patio
door at the rear of the home a conditional use permit is still required.
� The property and proposed home are conforming to the zoning district requirements for lot
area, lot width and setbacks. The City's septic manager will review and must approve the
proposed septic design for the proposed home which includes all bedrooms (and the guest
apartment) prior to issuance of a building permit. The owner will be required to follow the
covenants outlined for the guest apartment as part of the CUP approval.
Issues for Consideration
Does the Planning Commission identify any issues or concerns with this application?
• Staff Recommendation �
Planning Staff finds the proposed guest apartment meets the 15 conditions outlined in City Code
Section 78-916 regarding issuance of conditional use permits. Staff recommends approval of
the CUP for the proposed guest apartment subject to the following conditions: the service door
between the garage and the guest apartment must be completely eliminated; the guest
apartment shall be utilized solely for non-paying guests or domestic employees; the guest
apartment shall not be addressed separately from the principal residence; and the guest
. apartment shall not have separate utilities.

Attxchments:
A-Draft Ordinance Amendment for Discussion .
B -Public Hearing Notice �
C-PC August 2012 Work Session Memo and Attachments
D - Letter from Wade &Laura Shatzer Dated 8/4/12 �
Introduction
In response to a sma11 number of ongoing complaints from one or two residents about incessant
crowing of roosters located at a property on Watertown Road in the 5-acre RR-lA Rural
Residential zoning district,the City Council directed that staff and Planning Commission review
the issue of whether the keeping of roosters should be prohibited within the City. This resulted
in a discussion at Planning Commission's August 1 work session, at which one of the residents
affected by the roosters related their concerns and a request that roosters be banned and chickens
be fiu-ther regulated. �
Notice for a public hearing on the issue of roosters has been posted and published, such hearing
to be held at the Planning Commission's regular meeting of August 20. This hearing process is
required if a zoning code amendment ultimately results from the discussions. However, owners
of roosters in tlie City have not been identified or individually notified. The level of public input
has been minimal and essentially one-sided in discussions to date; it is unknown whether there is
some level of public sentiment toward a pro-rooster viewpoint.
Background
As previously noted,the basic issue is that roosters have a natural propensity to crow loudly in
early morning hours and intermittently throughout the day. The high-pitched sound travels
significant distances, and may be heard hundreds of feet away. In a completely rural setting this
may be acceptable; in a rural residential setting of 2- acre and 5-acre lots that characterizes 80%
of Orono, separation distances between homes may not have much effect on reducing the noise
impact.
The work session memo provided an overview of existing City of Orono ordinances regarding
the keeping of animals, and full copies of the pertinent ordinances were included in that packet.
Chapter 62: Animals of the Orono Municipal Code (not part of the Zoning Code) contains
provisions that regulate the keeping of farm animals with regard to housing conditions,
containment of animals and trespassing, and animal noise. Relative to roosters,the animal noise
regulations (Section 62-10)would consider it a violation when a rooster crows repeatedly for at
least five minutes,with one minute or less between each crowing instance. The provisions of
Chapter 78: Zoning Code further regulate animals by establishing zoning districts in which
animals are allowed as an accessory or conditional use; minimum acreages required for keeping
various animals; and the location of animal housing structures.

To summarize the existing code sections related to chickens and roosters:
- Chickens are `farm animals' by definition.
- The code does not distinguish between chickens (hens) and roosters;they are all defined as �
`fowl'. �
- Fowl are allowed in the 2-acre and 5-acre Rural Residential districts as an accessory use.
- Fowl are allowed in the Lakeshore Residential 1/2-acre, 1-acre and 2-acre districts and in
the RS district, as a conditional use,requiring a CUP.
- The number of fowl allowed is based on the size of the properly; the minimum acreage for
farm animals is at least one acre for the dwelling and one additional acre for each animal
unit.
- One animal unit is equivalent to 50 fowl under Orono code. Therefore, a 2-acre lot would � �
be allowed 50 fowl, a 3-acre lot would be allowed 100 fowl,4-acre lot allowed 150, etc.
�.r.� - Slxuctures for housing of animals, including fowl, must be 75 feet from neighboring lot

lines and 150 feet from neighboring residence structures.
- Animal noise such as crowing that occurs repeatedly for more than 5 minutes at intervals of
less than one minute is considered a noise violation.
It should be noted that the general noise ordinance regulations contained within Chapter 58:
Environment of the municipal code do not address animal noise.
Scope of Review ,
As noted previously,the direction from Council was merely to consider a ban on roosters, and
did not suggest that we should address other general animal regulations with respect to chickens
and other fowl, such as the location,numbers, and manner in which they are kept. While these
may be concerns of some small number of residents, staff is recommending that the focus of
� , consideration at this time be limited to the issue of roosters. The low number and type of
complaints received lately and in past years regarding fowl does not warrant a wholesale revision
of the existing animal ordinances, in the opinion of planning staff(CSO Jason Barnes,who deals
with animal issues, is in complete agreement with this position). �
Analysis �
The existing noise ordinance does not easily address the issue of roosters crowing, in that the
thresholds for violation(crowing repeatedly for 5 minutes with intervals less than one minute)
may not be met even though the crowing is an incessant annoyance. The extent of monitoring
needed to determine if a violation is technically occurring is a frustration for both staff and the
affected neighbors. Additionally, options for eliminating a rooster noise issue are extremely
limited. While a barking dog can be fitted with a bark collar or brought into the house to address
a noise issue,neither option is available for dealing with roosters. Removal of the annoyance
rather than attempting to regulate it in this case may be most appropriate in the case of roosters.
While a number of cities have banned roosters,there is no clear uniformity among local
ordinances that deal with poultry. One generalization that staff believes can be made is that
cities with higher density development are more likely to have banned roosters, and in some
1
� :T .

cases also banned or limited the number of chickens at a property. Some cities have esta.blished
' a licensing or permit requirement for the keeping of chickens. It appears common that many
cities have allowed chickens in just their rural-density(agriculture or farming) districts, and/or
required minimum lot sizes in order to keep chickens.
City Attorney Soren Mattick has provided a sample ordinance from one of the southern Twin
Cities communities (Exhibit C of work session packet materials). This is not necessarily a
suggested ordinance, but is just an example of what one other city has adopted. Soren's
admonition to us is that we should avoid an ordinance that hinges approval of chickens and/or
roosters on a neighbor's approval. He also notes that a ban on roosters enacted within the
Animals section of the Code (Chapter 62)will not be subject to a grandfathering of existing
roosters; whereas grandfathering is a risk if such a ban is added to the zoning code.
Staff has not taken an inventory of roosters throughout the City and at this point does not intend
to do so. We believe the number of properties with roosters is relatively minimal, and the
number of properties housing roosters that have gei�erated complaints is extremely minimal
(perhaps two in the past 10 years). While there may be a number of properties in Orono that
keep chickens without roosters, any neighborhood concerns generated by them have been and are
expected to continue to be addressed and resolved through existing ordinances. Staff fmds no
value in attempting to establish a licensing or permitting program for chickens or roosters at this
time.
Finally, staff would refer to the Purpose section of the Orono zoning code, in which the first
Guiding Principle reads as follows:
(1) The city is growing in population from a rural agricultural community to a rural
residential communiry. Use of land for residential purposes is considered primary
with other uses viewed as supporting this use. While present commercial or
industrial activity, where consistent with residential use and other guiding �
principles, will be protected by ordinance or conditional use permit, it is not the
intention to expand or allow all such commercial or industrial activity to a degree
where it conflicts with the primary residential use and the other guiding principles.
The continued use of land for farming and similar purposes will be protected by
ordinance or conditional use permit where sufficient acreage allows such use to
continue without conflict with expanding residential use.
It is this potential conflict between the historic rural agricultural use and new residential use that
plagues every suburban fringe community. Orono has chosen to accommodate agricultural and `�»
farming uses to the extent that they don't conflict with the Rural Residential character for which
a majority of Orono's land is guided and zoned. On 40-plus acre lots, one would likely expect
that a rooster crowing in the distance is part of the normal ambience; on 2-acre and 5-acre lots
which characterize Orono's rural area, a rooster crowing next door can be a real annoyance.

Code Revision Options
A ban on the keeping of roosters could be included in the zoning code (Chapter 78) or it could be
established within the animal regulations (Chapter 62). There are iwo specific reasons that it
may be more appropriate in Chapter 62. First, Section 62-9 entitled"Animal•Limits" already •
exists within the Code, dealing with the limits on numbers of dogs and cats that can be kept. This
could easily be amended to establish a ban on roosters. Alternatively, Section 62-10 entitled
"Noise" could be amended. Second, establishment of a ban on roosters in Chapter 62 does not
constitute an element of the Zoning Code, and therefore existing roosters would not be
`grandfathered'. This is a key factor in the City's ability to resolve existing issues.
Issues for Consideration
1. Should the City Code be amended to prohibit the keeping of roosters?
2. Should the City Code be amended to merely regulate (provide minimum standards for)
'" the keeping of roosters? -r' '
���.
3. If keeping of roosters is regulated rather than prohibited, what parameters for keeping
them should be regulated?
4. Is there a benefit to requiring a permit or license for roosters that can be revoked if some
level of violations occurs?
5. Is there any reason to further regulate the keeping of chickens or other fowl (absent the
issue of roosters)beyond the provisions within the e�sting City codes?
6. What section(s) of the Code should be amended-Animals?Zoning? Environment?
Staff Recommendation
Planning Commission should hold the public hearing and take public comments.
Staff recommends that the extent of code revisions at this time be to merely prohibit the keeping �
of roosters anywhere in the City. This would be consistent with the intent of Orono's Rural
Residential zoning. �
Staff recommends that the language of Chapter 62, Section 62-9, Animal Limits,be amended to
include language that prohibits roosters. A draft ordinance amendment is attached for
consideration. �
Staff recommends that no further regulation of chickens or fowl be considered at this time, as
there are no demonstrated issues that cannot be addressed through enforcement of existing
ordinances.
Options for Action
1) Recommend adoption of code revisions per staff recommendation.
2) Table for fiu�ther information(specify).
3) Take some other action.

A- Existing Pertinent Orono Code Sections
B - Submitted Information from Laura Schatzer, 3685 Watertown Road
C - Sample Ordinance (For Discussion Only)
� D - Selected Information Materials
�Background
The City Council has directed that staff and Planning Commission review the issue of whether the
keeping of roosters should be prohibited within the City. This direction is a result of ongoing
complaints from one or two residents about incessant crowing of roosters located at a property on
Watertown Road in the 5-acre RR-lA Rural Residential zoning district.
Laura Schatzer of 3685 Watertown Road has requested that her letter and attachments dated June
11, 2012 be included in your information packet- see Exhibit B. _
The basic issue is that roosters have a natural propensity to crow loudly in eaxly morning hours and
intermittently throughout the day. The high-pitched sound travels significant distances, and may
be heard hundreds of feet away. In a completely rural setting this may be acceptable; in a rural
residential setting of 2- acre and 5-acre lots that characterizes 80% of Orono, separation distances
between homes may not have much effect on reducing the noise impact. �
Provided below is a review of existing City of Orono ordinances regarding the keeping of animals.
Relative to roosters, the animal noise regulations (Section 62-10) would consider it a violation �
when a rooster crows repeatedly for at least five minutes, with one minute or less between each
crowing instance. .
.�,;.. Scope of Review -, .
This review could easily mushroom into a discussion about general animal regulation with respect
. to chickens and other fowl, such as the location, numbers, and manner in which they are kept. The
very minimal volume of complaints received outside of the recent situation does not suggest a need
for an overhaul of the animal ordinances. The Council direction in this regard is merely to consider
a ban on roosters. The request from one member of the public that greater controls be placed on
� i
Roosters

keeping of chickens may be worthy of some discussion, but the focus should be limited to dealing
with the issue of roosters. �
Existing Pertinent City Codes (See Exhibit A)
Animal regulations aze found in two distinct sections of the Orono Municipal Code:
� - Chapter 62: Animals (primarily enforced by Police Department)
Pertinent sections are: .
62-1: Definitions of Animals and Farm Animals
62-3: Keepin� states that farm animals must be kept in accordance with Chapter 78
62-5: Housin� states that it's unlawful to keep any animal in any structure infested
by rodents, vernun, flies or insects. .
62-6: Trespasses states it is unlawfiil to herd, drive or ride any animal over property
without specific permission frorn the owner. .
62-10: Noise discusses the standards for what constitutes `disturbing peace and �
quiet'; how to determine whether a violation exists; and the complaint
process.
- Chapter 78: Zoning Code (primarily enforced by Planning/Zoning/Bldg Dept.)
Pertinent sections regarding animals are:
78-1: Definitions ofAccessory Use o�Structure;Agriculture;Animal Unit;
Commercial Kennel;Farm Animals;Noxious matter or materials;Pasture;
. RidingAcademy;Stabl� or barn,private; Stable or barn,public; Stockfarm;
Use, accessory; Use, conditional. �
78-5: Purpose of the zoning code acknowledges that the character of Orono is
changing from a rural agricultural community to a rural residential
community,that residential use is primary, and that the continued use of land
' for farming and similar purposes will be protected by ordinance where
sufficient acreage is available to allow such use to continue without conflict
with the expanding residential use. This language has been in the preamble
section of the Zoning Code since 1975. � �
, 78-303, 328, and 348: Conditional Uses section of the LR-lA, LR-1B and LR-1C
lakeshore residential zoning districts. The language is identical in all three:
� Part(3)a. discusses the acreage requirements for keeping horses.
- Part(3)b. indicates the minimum acreage for farm animals is at least one acre
for the dwelling and one acre for each animal unit.
Part(3)c.requires that any building or structure associated with animals must
be located more than 150 feet from the nearest adjacent residence and at least
� 75 feet from the nearest lot line.
Part(3)d. requires compliance with the provisions of Chapter 62.
78-394 and 419: Accesso ,r�es section of the RR-lA and RR-1B rural residential �
zoning districts. The language is identical to that in the LR- district sections
� noted above, except that as an accessory use, no conditional use permit is
� required.
I. 1�
Roosters&Chickens
July 25,2012
Page 3 .
78-565: Conditional Uses section of the RS seasonal recreational district. Wording is
slightly different than for other districts - does not include the setback
requirements for animal housing structures, and does not refer specifically to
Chapter 62 but does require compliance with the City Code.
To further summarize the above specifically related to chickens and roosters:
- Chickens axe `farm animals' by definition.
- The code does not distinguish between chickens (hens) and roosters; they are all defined as
`fowl'.
- Fowl are allowed in the 2-acre and 5-acre Rural Residential districts as an accessory use.
- Fowl are allowed in the Lakeshore Residential 1/2-acre, 1-acre and 2-acre districts and in the
RS district, as a conditional use, requiring a CUP.
- The number of fowl allowed is based on the size of the property; the minimum acreage for
farm animals is at least one acre for the dwelling and one additional acre for ea�h animal
unit.
- One animal unit is equivalent to 50 fowl under Orono code. Therefore, a 2-acre lot would be
allowed 50 fowl, a 3-acre lot would be allowed 100,fowl, 4-acre lot allowed 150, etc.
- Structures for housing of animals, including fowl, must be 75 feet from neighboring lot lines
and 150 feet from neighboring residence structures.
- Animal noise such as crowing that occurs repeatedly for more than 5 minutes at intervals of
less than one minute is considered a noise violation.
It should be noted that the general noise ordinance regulations contained within Chapter 58: .
Environment of the municipal code do not address animal noise. �

. Sec. 78-5. - Purpose. .
(a) Guiding principles.
, .,
, . . .. . .
. .� ., ..
��) The city is growmg in populafion from a rural agricultural community to a rural
. . ., _ , . _. .�
residential comrriunity.�Use_of land for residential purposes is"`considered primary uvith
.._., . . ,
, other uses`viewed as supporting�fhis use. While present commercial or industrial .
activity, where consistent virith residential use and other guiding principles, will be
protected by ordinance or conditional use permit, it is not the intention to expand or �
allow all such commercial or industrial activiry to a degree where it conflicts with the
primary residential use and the other guiding principles.:The-:continued use of land for
farming and similar purposes will be,pr.otected by ordinance orconditional use permit
where sufficient;acreage.allows such.use to continue virithout conflict:with expanding
- . __.
residential use. .
(2) The maintenance of open space and the avoidance of overcrowding of land is a basic
guiding principle in this plan. In addition to avoiding the ill effects of excessive,
intensive land development, it is the policy to also avoid the threat to public health
which occurs-with excessive crowding of private sewage disposal systems on
substandard building sites.
�3) The city has recognized that many of the open space policies which have previously
provided the basic direction of the land use policies have proven to be inadequate. It
- is now clear that on-site disposal systems must not be allowed on any site of less than ��
two acres. It is now clear that the physical characteristics of the city make the
extension of public services such as sewer extremely expensive and almost
impossible in some areas. The city and other governmental agencies have learned
that the premature development of open areas can be costly and disastrous to the
environment.
(4) Of paramount importance to the citizens of the city and to the citizens of the
metropolitan area is the preservation of Lake Minnetonka and the wetlands that
� provide the only practical system of filtration and purification of the stormwater so vital
to the preservation of Lake Minnetonka and the groundwater supplies in the area. The
disastrous effects of intense residential and commercial development within the city,
and especially in those areas adjacent to Lake Minnetonka and the wetlands, are
painfully evident. The adoption of additional regulations, rezoning of certain areas and
� the creation of larger lot sizes in unsewered areas is mandatory in order to protect the
safety, health and welfare of the citizens of the city.
�5) The guiding principles of maintaining open spaces, avoiding the ill effects of
overcrowding, avoiding premature development, avoiding the future pollution
problems which are inherent in any plan to intensely develop land adjacent to
wetlands and Lake Minnetonka, and the need to change some allowedpuses in order
p,;�.Cny'a ,,:i-w,.�
to preserve the quality of the groundwater supplies in the area were recognized in the
comprehensive municipal plan adopted on December 2, 1974, and the amendments
to the comprehensive zoning chapter and map adopted by the council on December
� 19, 1974. The principles established in the 1974 comprehensive municipal plan were
further reinforced by the 1980 Orono Community Management Plan adopted by .
Resolution No. 1338 on November 23, 1981, and the 2000-2020 Orono Community
Management Plan adopted by Resolution No. 4723 on November 13, 2001. The

�b) Intent and purpose. This chapter is adopted for the purposes of:
(�) Protecting the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience and general
welfare;
�. �2) Dividing the city into zones and districts restricting and regulating therein the location,
construction, reconstruction, alteration, and use of structures and land;
�(3) Promoting orderly development of the residential, business, industrial, recreation and
. public areas;
�4) Providing adequate light, air and convenience of access to property;
�5) Limiting congesfion in the public right-of-way;
(6) Preventing overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by regulating
the use of the land and buildings and the bulk of buildings in relation to the land and
buildings surrounding them;
(7) Providing for the compatibility of different land uses and the most appropriate use of
land throughout the city, preventing the destruction of the natural environmental
assets located within the city, protecting the quality of stormwater runoff, Lake
Minnetonka, Long Lake, the wetlands and marshes within the city;
($) Providing for a more orderly transition from a rural agricultural to rural residential
environment; .
. �9) Providing for the administration of this chapter;
(10) Defining the powers and duties of the administrative, officers and bodies; and
� (11) Prescribing penalties for the violation of the provisions of this chapter. .

June 11, 2012
Dear Mr. Gaffron,
Hello, my name is Laura Shatzer. I live with my husband Wade and three daughters on a 10 acre lot
at 3685 Watertown Road in Orono. We have lived here for four years. We moved to the area
because it is so beautiful and peaceful and the schools are terrific!
� The area has continued to amaze us with its beauty but unfortunately it has been diminished by
having to listen.to the sounds of a neighbor's roosters. The purpose of my letter to you is to explain
why this has been a challenge for us and to request that the City of Orono put into place a no �
chicken (or limited hens) no rooster ordinance. �
Recently, I have been in communications with Christine Mattson in zoning and planning regarding
the City of Orono and its stance on homeowners raising chickens and roosters. She gave me your
name and advised that I send you a letter explaining my situation and reques� I will forward a copy �
of this letter ccnd enclosures to the Orono City Council. �
Our request is that the City of Orono revisit whether or not it will allow residents to raise chickens
and roosters within city limits.
Our neighbor,just three houses to the west of us (referred to as neighbor R), has been raising
chickens and roosters. We might be zoned rural, allowing for chickens, but the homes are quite
close together—only a stone's throw away in many cases. We can clearly hear her roosters, even
inside our home sometimes with the windows closed and fan on. It has caused us stress because we
want to enjoy the peacefulness of the area but are forced to listen to her roosters crow off and on all
day long. We have kindly contacted her several times over the last year, as you will see below, but
the roosters are still here. We wish the city of Orono had a strict no rooster policy in place like our
neighboring cities so that we didn't have to try and plead directly with our neighbor.
Here is some background information on our personal situation. If you want to skip the details of
� our situation, please jump to the middle of page 2. �•
Neighbor R moved in a few months after we did in 2008. She began raising chickens last spring
2011. The noise from her roosters (several roosters) became a big nuisance. There were mornings I
could hear the roosters as early as 4—5 am with our windows closed and the air conditioner on.
Roosters do not discriminate when it comes to the days of the week.
We could see them in our next-door neighbors yard to the west of us, and sometimes ours. Often,
they would crow off and on all day competing with each other. You could hear them several times
in a minute. It caused me stress and it was uncomfortable having to ask neighbor R several times to
take care of the noisy roosters (which she didn't think was a problem).
The problem escalated in the fall when our elderly next door neighbor to the west of us called me
upset because several (10 or so) of the chickens were in her yard and garage. They chickens and
roosters where perching in her garage rafters and letting their droppings fall onto their new
convertible and Christmas wreaths that they make and sell during the holidays. The chickens were
also digging up the flowers and plants in their flowerbeds according from what I heard and saw.

At this point I called animal control�and talked to Jason Barnes about my neighbors issues with the
chickens/roosters and my complaint about the noise. He was very understanding about the problem
� and encouraged our neighbor to call if the problem continued. Our neighbor eventually called and
officer Barnes came out to deal with the chickens/roosters and discovered that neighbor R required a
dog kennel license as well.
Neighbor R assured me that her sons would take care of the roosters and there wouldn't be a
problem in the future. And, that they would take care of any newly hatched roosters as welL
Unfortunately, this spring I began to hear roosters again. At first it wasn't so bad because they were
young—kind of funny sounding and not too loud or frequent. � �
I contacted the neighbor R via text. She said they only have bantams this year,not the big roosters
like last year. She said her sons want to show them in the State Fair. She also said they would keep
them in the coup until8 am and put them back in at 8 pm. I appreciated this and said this should be
okay but that I would let her know if they became annoying. I was somewhat worried because I
knew she had several hens. The crowing eventually got louder and more frequent and it didn't
sound like she just had bantam roosters. I can hear them alinost every time I step out my side door
and sometimes while I'm in my house with the windows closed and fan on.
My husband Wade noticed a large traditional rooster in her yard recently. We think she has around
5 or 6 roosters altogether. I contacted officer Barnes to let him know the roosters were back and to
see what could possibly be done. It was an informal call.
Neighbor R and I have continued to communicate via text. She thinks I'm being unreasonable and
not practicing good neighbor relations=patience or kindness. My response was that good neighbor
relations is not keeping several roosters that can be heard blocks away. And, that I believe I have
been extremely patient and have tried to be kind about the issue, which I've been dealing with for a
year now. She said she is finding a new home for the roosters. So far, we can still hear the roosters.
Currently, neighbor R's home and two other homes close to us are for sale. My hope is that the City
of Orono will put into place a no chicken (or limited hens), no rooster ordinance to prevent
problems such as the one I have presented here.
I do not want to have to battle roosters every year with existing or new neighbors. We love the area
and hope to live here a long time. We want to be able to spend time outside without being
bombarded by the screechy sounds of roosters. The occasional neighborhood sounds like a lawn
mower, tractor, chain saw, kids playing, dog barking, a party, nature and the like is expected. It is
the constant repetitive sounds that are irritating—obviously explaining why other cities have noise
ordinances in place and do not allow roosters. �

Out of curiosity, I contacted our neighboring city hall offices to see what they allow or do not allow
when it comes to homeowners raising chickens. Here is what I found:
� City Chickens Yes/No Roosters Yes/No
Buffalo No No
Delano No No
Independence •
Long Lake No No
Maple Plain No � No
Medina No/Yes(rural2+acres) not specified*
Minnetonka** No No
Mound No No
Loretto Yes (limit 6 hens) No
Watertown No No �
*All animals fall under the animal noise ordinance.
**When I called the City of Minnetonka,the desk clerk firmly said"NO ROOSTERS" before I
could even finish asking, "do you allow chickens?" �
_�� 4"?'
xk'++ �`r,x
I have enclosed a copy of an email from Cindy at the Loretto City Hall and a copy of their chicken
license/permit application and annual fee requirement.
I have also enclosed a copy of a recent article from twincities.com Watchdog Backvard chickens
welcome in some metro-area cities, as lon�as residents follow the rules. The article explains that �
some communities allow chickens but that roosters are a problem and in most areas, they are not
allowed.
Clearly, all of our neighboring cities have addressed the issue of homeowners raising chickens. It is
clear from the data that chickens are rarely allowed and roosters are never allowed with the
exception of Medina who has a strict animal noise ordinance in place.
• I was surprised to learn that Delano,Bu�ffalo and Watertown do not allow chickens. Thei'r cities '
have a large amount of rural land,I think more rural land than Orono.
Overall, my desire is that the City of Orono will consider adopting an ordinance similar to Loretto's
where it allows for a limited number of chickens with a license/permit but no roosters. And,the no
rooster policy will be enforced by the city so that neighbors do not have to go back and forth .
creating bad feelings and an uncomfortable environment.
Thanks you so much for taking the time to address my concerns and consider my request for a city
ordinance pertaining to raising chickens, that of which is more similar and in line with our
neighboring cities. �1i�- �

Watchdog: Sackyard chickens j%velcorne in some metro- �
area cities, as long as residents follow the rules
By Debra 0'Connor watchdog@pioneerpress.com TwinCities.com-Pioneer Press
Posted: TwinCities.com
A reader recently squawked to the Pioneer Press after noticing chickens in the back yard of a
St. Paul home.
"Very cute,"the writer said. "But is this legal?"The Watchdog saw the post on SeeClicicFix,
an online feature on TwinCities.com that lets users alert their communities about quality-of-
life issues. The Watchdog investigated to See whether a Chicks Fix was needed in the
Macalester-Groveland neighborhood.
As it turns out,the chickens are owned by the DuBois family, and the city of St. Paul
confirmed the birds are legal. Homeowners Jacques and Katie DuBois followed the city
ordinance when they first got chickens two years ago: They filed the paperwork, paid the fee,
housed the chickens in an acceptable coop and secured the agreement of at least 75 percent
of the neighbors living within 15o feet of their home. � .
Jacques DuBois told the Watchdog that two of io neighbors did decline,with one claiming,
"People in (ZIP code) 55105 don't want to have chickens there,"while,another said she didn't
like the idea of having "livestock" around, DuBois said. But,he noted, that neighbor now
brings her grandchildren over to observe Mario, Luigi and Oreo scratch and cluck.
Across the nation, backyard chickens--part of what's called"urban farming" -- are all the
rage. In St. Paul,the population is exploding, said animal-control supervisor Bill
Stephenson.
"A lot of people like them as pets, and the eggs are a benefit,"he said. .
In St. Paul,there's been a permit process in place for more than 2o years,but the city used to
see only three or four requests per year from people wanting to set up backyard coops. Now,
it can be that many per week. One animal-control employee works two days a week checking
the living conditions and sanitation of chickens, beehives and other less-common animals
' kept in the city, Stephenson said.
Some other metro-area cities allowing chickens in a regular-sized back yard are Minneapolis,
Anoka, Burnsville, Farmington, Hastings, Rosemount, Roseville,West St. Paul and
Maplewood. Some communities that don't allow them include Apple Valley, Eagan,
Stillwater, Woodbury, Inver Grove Heights and, thus far, Cottage Grove.That's according to
a survey done by the city earlier this year,when resident Rylcna Olson,who grew up on a
farm, asked that Cottage Grove consider allowing chickens.As she said in an email to the
city, "I miss some of the amenities that a farm provides, especially fresh eggs." .
The Watchdog did some research herself and found some ordinances to be fussier than .
others: Ham Lalce, for example, requires the color of the coop to blend with that of the house.

Bay�ort's extensive regulations note that chickens can't be kept in the house. Several cities
that are still largely rural require lots to be 3 or more acres.The upscale community of North
Oaks, which used to be railroad magnate James J. Hill's farm, doesn't allow the birds at all.
Most cities that allow chickens require a permit, charge a fee and check on the chickens'
welfare regularly. Ordinances describe an acceptable coop's configuration, along with its
� placement on the property. .
Most ordinances recognize some neighbors may not be enthusiastic about living near a
, miniature farm.�Most don't allow roosters because they're noisy and can be aggressive?In
'�` East Bethel,which doesn't bar roosters, spokeswoman Stephanie Hanson notes: "We have �
no complaints on chickens; however, we have nurnerous complaints on roosters." Most
�' require some or all of the neighbors to sign off on the idea. In Maplewood, which adopted an �
ordinance last year, the owner of every property adjacent to the applicant's must agree, or
� the applicant has to prove his property lines are at least 15o feet from anyone's house.
And most cities limit the number of chickens to three or four--but not Minneapolis, where
there's no official limit if a resident can convince 8o percent of the neighbors to sign off on
the number and the city agrees they're properly kept. Minneapolis also allows roosters,but
that has to be disclosed to neighbors and their signatures must be notarized.
Minneapolis,which has allowed baclryard fowl as far back as anyone in animal control can �
remember, now has a population of about 1,50o chickens, with an average of six to eight
birds per household, according to permit coordinator Ann Thelen. Gro�n�th is still booming,
with six to 10 application requests per week. �
"Hens are wildfire this year,"Thelen said.
And beehives, another part of the urban-farming movement, are gaining momentum.
"They're coming in droves,too,"Thelen said.
On Tuesday, June 5, a Stillwater family who had been cited for illegally keeping chickens
appeared before the city council to ask members to consider mal:ing chickens legal.The
council agreed, 3-2,to look into the matter, and will charge the standard $50o to have the
city research a resident's request. � . ,
"There's enough illegal chickens out there that they're having a fundraiser to change the
ordinance," said Mayor Ken Harycki. "They're pretty passionate about it.Apparently,there's
a groundswell going on."
Both Jacques and Katie DuBois grew up living in apartments, so having hens and a backyard �
garden at their St. Paul house is a way to experience something new and promote their
children's health, Jacques DuBois said.The children, ages g, 5 and 3, see the chickens as pets
and will casually pick them up and carry them around.The family boxer and poodle mingle
with the hens wandering in the yard.
The family keeps different varieties, including the Ameraucana, nicknamed the "Easter

. Egger"because it lays blue-, green- and pink-tinted eggs.The hens are "dual-purpose,"fit for
both eggs and meat.They give enough eggs to satisfy the family's need and when, after three
years or so,their laying days are done, there are companies that will process poultry for stew.
The DuBoises'hens have the run of their fenced-in yard,but most have been able to flap over
their 3-foot-high fence; they've lost one to a neighbor's dog and one to a hawk.
� And once, the family accidentally got a rooster from their chick supplier. Since noise and
� aggression make roosters illegal in St. Paul,they couldn't keep him. .
So they ate him.

G�APPENDIX: CHICKEN CARE SHEET
CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE PURCHASE
VJhile livestock animals must be kept as carefully as pet animals, it is important to keep in mind
that when these animals axe kept as pets they can live up to 14 years or longer. ��s; •
Will you have sufficient time to clean the coop on a weeldy basis?
Are you willing to spend $10 to $15 twice a yeax for fecal examination?
Are you able to provide the birds with proper veterinary care and the vaccinations needed?
3
, �
Chickens need to be tended to twice daily. Will you have a person ready to substitute for you when you have a
reason to be absent?
HOW TO RECOGNIZE HEALTHY CHICKENS
Smooth, shiny and full plumage.
Intensely colored red comb and wattles.
Alert and shiny eyes, .
Relatively firm, well formed;they must be clean; animals must be active, curious, busily picking or scratching
for food; chickens should be actively dusting and preening their plumage; birds should be free of ectoparasites
like mites, fleas or ticks.
THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THE COOP
Chickens require light, warmth and shelter from wind and drafts. The coop should be constructed with a .
southern exposure for the front (including a window and door);this will provide some heat and light to the
coop. To protect the coop from winds,hedges, shrubs or bushes should be placed toward the northeast and
western sections of the coop. Despite their love of warmth, chickens tolerate heat poorly, as they have no sweat
glands to allow for perspiration. For summer heat you must provide access to shade.
• Space Requirements: If you plan to raise large breeds, at least four square feet will be needed for each
. bird. If the chickens will be confined to the coop for a great portion of the time, they will need more room: �
allow ten square feet for each bird, or six to eight square feet per bantam.
• Nesting Box: Some kind of nesting box will be needed in the coop. Supply one nest for every four hens.
• Perches/Roots: Perches or roosts will also be needed; a good rule of thumb is one per bird.
• Heat: You might consider running electricity to your coop. This is especially desirable if it tends to get
very cold in the winter, as chickens are prone to frostbitten combs and wattles. A few properly placedheat
lamps, kept burning at night, will keep chickens warm and may prevent their drinking water from freezing.
• Walls: Avoid building materials that permit absorption of moisture, as this will have a bad effect on the
health of your chickens. Chemically treated wood is the most suitable building material for coops. Treatment
of the wood should be done only with chemical compounds that are non-toxic to animals. A good compound
with antifungal agents is good for humid areas. Clear varnish is also good. Everything should be treated or
painted before it is assembled. Wooden structures should be built with double walls that have a one and one-
half inch insulated layer between them. All bantams need warmer coop temperatures than larger chickens. �
• Roofing: The coop roof should be made.of a material that will not collect and hold heat. The roof
surface should be covered with an insulating tar paper to protect from heavy rains. The roof should be slightly
, inclined to allow water to run off; if it overhangs at the front wall, it will protect from downpours. A few small
openings along the eaves allow moisture to escape and provide fresh air.
• Floorings: The floor should be one that will not collect and hold moisture, is easy to clean, and that the
chickens will not have trouble walking on. A dirt floor fulfills most to the essential demands, a concert floor is
ideal, especially since it discourages rodents. A wood floor is adequate;provided it is at least on foot off the
4
� � ,
ground, insulated and sealed properly. It is a good idea to throw litter on the floor wherever the chickens will
be to absorb moisture and facilitate cleaning. ,
CLEANING
How often the coop is cleaned depends on a lot of variables. If the chickens are kept inside,ideally droppings
should be removed every day, but not less than every two to three days. Perches/roosts should get a quick '
, wiping off at the same time. In a larger coop outdoors, once a week�might be appropriate,but a major cleaning
must be done twice annually: once in the spring and again in the fall. All of the litter must be removed, and all �
parts and accessories washed, scrubbed and thoroughly disinfected and dried before returning the birds to the
coop. �
FEEDING
It has been found that chickens, like people,need a variety of foods in order to remain healthy, and like people,
suffer several nutritional disorders if certain things are missing for their diet. Prepared chicken feeds are
designed to provide a perfectly balanced diet. Most prepazed feeds contain such ingredients as meat and bone
� scraps, blood meal, bone meal, molasses, ground grains and grain meals. They also contain minerals and
vitamins that chickens axe knawn to need.
• Scratch: This is an old time favorite chicken feed and is a mixture of various whole grains and cracked
corn. This feed goes over big with chickens,but is not complete dietary ration. Scratch mixiures with a high
proportion of corn are not recommended. Some corn is fine, but as grains go, corn is lower in protein and
higher in fat, and it tends to make the chickens obese. �
• Grit: Chickens must have acce'ss to grit in order for their digestive systems to function properly. Since
chickens do not have teeth,the grinding function is performed by their gizzards. The gizzards uses grit as a
grinding agent, which may simply be pebbles and other small stones. The grit gradually gets ground up along
with the grain so it must be continuously renewed. �
• Greens: Chickens love fresh greens, salad scraps,weeds and surplus or overripe fruit and vegetables
from the garden. These are an important part of feeding program for a backyard flock. Not only will it help �
keep down your feed bill, but it adds variety and needed vitamins and nutrients to their diet. When you feed
scraps, sort out anything that has begun to rot as it might make the chickens sick.
HOW MUCH AND HOW OFTEN TO FEED
An average bantam in confinement may consume 40 to 50 pounds of feed annually,while a larger breed may
consume twice that amount. Chickens won't eat more then they need, so they should be allowed to eat as much
as they want. Although feed should be continuously available, it is wise to feed them each day rather then put a
lot of feed out every few days. Feeding troughs are more sanitary and economical then just throwing feed on the
ground. Once a week you should clean out the feed troughs and dispose of any residue to help keep the feed
fresh.
:�;• �
WATER �
Fresh water must be available to the chickens at all times. This cannot be overemphasized. They must have
clean water with their feed to be able to digest it properly. A chicken is more than 50% water. A'large chicken
will drink from one to two cups of water a day, depending on the weather. Chickens cannot drink much at one
time, so they must drink often. Puddles of stagnant water from rain or leaky waters are a breeding ground for
hannful bacteria and other disease-causing organisms, and also tend to become fouled by the chickens'
5
1 ,
excrement. Even if fresh water is available,puddles should be eliminated so the chickens do not have access to
them for this reason.
NOISE �
If you are going to be keeping any roosters, you should know that it is a myth that they only crow at sunup. The
truth is they crow anytime they feel like it, sometimes even at night. If complaints are received, your permit
could be revoked. .
PREDATOR PROTECTION �
You must provide protection from predators; raccoons, fox, mink and skunks all lilce chickens. Raccoons can
open latches and reach through screens.

Raising Chickens In Golden Valley� City Studies
Possibilities �
POSTED 04-27-2012
' Should Golden Valley make it possible for residents to keep chickens on their property?
That's the question the City's Environmental Commission will be looking into over the next
six to 12 months. Currently, Section 10.3Z of the Golden Valley City Code prohibits residents
from keeping, transporting, and housing animals and fowl or treating them in a cruel or
inhumane manner. �
At its April 17, 2012 meeting, the City Council directed the Environmental Commission to study the City's
current ordinance and make recommendation as to whether or not it should be amended and, if so, what
amendments should be considered. As part of the study, the Commission will:
consult with professionals (Animal Humane Society, Chicken Run Rescue, etc) regarding chickens on
private property in urban environments
review similar ordinances for adjacent and other Twin Cities' metropolitan cities
discuss issues and concerns relevant to the topic with code enforcement and police staff for Golden Valley
and for adjacent or metropolitan cities �
discuss relevant land use issues with Golden Valley's Planning staff and Planning Commission
discuss potential impacts on the environment and other wildlife (coyotes, raccoons, etc) with nature and
wildlife professionals
talk to legal counsel about issues related to neighbors' consent on fowl keeping
conduct self-directed, independent information- and fact-finding efforts as needed
account for diverse views on the topic �
The Environmental Commission's final report will detail all considerations related to chickens on private
property, including data and information collected from all the research and interviews conducted, arranged
by topic. The report will also include a summary of pros and cons of allowing chickens on private property in
Golden Valley and a recommendation to the City Council.
- Public Input
On online feedback form is available for Golden Valley residents who wish to provide input about the issue
of raising chickens in Golden Valley. The Environmental Commission will consider comments from completed
feedback forms when studying the issue., and all feedback will become part of the public record and final
report.

Does a coopful of chickens in an urban area constitute a public nuisance?
That was the question at the core of a debate between members of the Inver Grove Heiafits Citv Council on Monday night,as they considered a new
orcJinance allowing local residents.to raise chickens within residential neighborhoods in the city.
Citv rec�ulations currently prohibits residents from raising chickens—and other farm or non-domestic animals—in districts that are not zoned for
agricultural use.But at least one council member,Rosemary Piekarski Krech,believes the city should ease its regulations to permit backyard chicken
coops.On Monday,the council directed city staff to create a formal draft of the proposed ordinance,which will likely retum to the council for approval later
this year.
During the work session,Councilor Bill Klein strongly opposed the proposed ordinance,saying the smell and noise of a chicken coop in residential
neighborhoods would create a public nuisance and lead to an enforcement headache for the city.Chicken coops,he added,may draw other predators,
like foxes and coyotes,deeper into the city,causing more problems for homeowners. -
°If you want chickens,move to a rural area,"Klein said."There's nothing thaYs gang to move me to vote for it."
But Piekarski Krech,who lives in an agricultural area and raises her own flock of chickens,believes that,with the advent of the sustainable food
mo4ement and the desire to eat locally,more and more people are interested in urban chidcens.
"With two or three hens,you can supply your whole family with eggs,"Piekarski Krech said.'I think iYs what people are doing,and it makes sense to me.°
If the ordinance is crafted correcUy,Piekarski Krech added,the potential for a public nuisance would be minimized.
Any ordinance permltting chickens in a residential area should prohibit roosters—which produce a lot of noise—limit the number of chickens a resident
can raise and require a minimum setback distance from other properties,City Planner Allan Hunting wrote in a memo provided to the council.
If the city were to draft an ordinance,Hunting added,it should require residents to confine iheir chickens in a coop at all times,allow coops only in the •
back yard of homes and require owners to apply for some kind of city-issued pertnit

"Some Maplewood residents have been raising chickens in their back yards for years,but starting in August they can do it
without breaking the law.
The City Council passed an ordinance last week that legalizes the practice and adds the east metro suburb to the growing
number of Twin Citles communities that allow urban agriculture. •
' "It is a trend that some people are into,"said City Council Member John Nephew,who voted in favor of the ordinance."For
people,it's a hobby or educational tool to teach kids where eggs come from.It's a flne thing for the very small number of
people who are doing that,and we should not stand in the way."
The ordinance wfil require anybody reising chickens to pay$75 to the ciry for a Iicense and$50 to renew each year.
Residents will be able to have as many as 10 hens--but no roosters--in a back-or side-yard coop that is at least 5 feet
from any property Iine,and chickens must wear a leg band wlth the owner's name and phone number.
The ordinance,passed on a 4-1 vote,aiso requires unanimous approval from owners of adJacent properties."
It also requires that food be stored in rodent-proof containers and prohiblts beheading within city Ilmits.
'They will have to cross the road to klll it,"said City Manager]im Antonen,who said the clty will inspect coops to be sure
they are In compliance.
Maplewood jolns communities such as Shoreview,Oakdale,Rosemount,Minneapolis,St.Paul and Burnsville,which also allow
chickens.Whlte Bear Wke considered a chicken ordinance,but voted against it.
Antonen said the issue over chickens has been debated in Maplewood for more than two years after a few citizens
approached the city's Environmental and Natural Resources Commissian,which studied and recommended the ordinance.
Nephew said it will give the city some leverage In dealing with complaints.
Police Chief Davld Thomalla said there Is no way of knowing how many undocumented chickens there are In the city,but that
his departrnent getr occaslonal complalnts. • ,
That includes strey chlckens.The c(ty currently pays$42 for any animal--chicken or other--It brings to the Hlllcrest
Boarding facility,plus$18 a day.It also pays an animal controi officer$82 per call plus$38 an hour.
The leg bands will ailow the city to Identify the owner and require the owner to reimburse the city for any fees associated with .
containing strays,said Shann Finwall,the clty's environmental planner.
Not everybody is enthusiastic about the ordinance change. ,
"I don't Ilke that you are going to have chickens In Maplewood,"said Shirley Taugner,a 52-year Maplewood resident whose
nelghbors have chickens in violatlon of the law."They are dirty and they poop and do their stuff all over."
But that is reason for the ordinance,sa(d council Member]ames Llanas.
'There needs to be rules regulating how chickens are treated,and for nelghbors to be respectful,"he said.

30. _Fergcrs Falls .
Fergus Falls banned chickens from residential neighborhoods
unless lots were at least ten acres and unless any shelters were at
least three hundred feet from the property line.10 In July 2009,
the city council revised its animal regulations to provide for no .
more than twelve chicken permits annually; chicken permits
were to be obtained by the animal control office, and allowed up
to four hens,�provided the applicant satisfied numerous, onerous
requirements.11 One resident complained that the council spent
more time on the chicken ordinance than they did on a four
million dollar appropriation for a hockey arena for which there
was resident opposition.l�Z The chicken ordinance was
reportedly based on Duluth's chicken law.13
3]. Mankato ""'
After lobbying and battling for nearly two years over a proposed �
backyard chicken ordinance to replace a ban, the Mankato City
Council passed an onerous two-year pilot project that provides
for the allocation of three chicken permits per year.174 The
preceding year, a proposed ordinance to legalize backyard
chickens was voted down four-to-three.175 After reportedly
spending fifteen hours of staff time to research twenty
Minnesota cities and write the ordinance amendment, the
council reintroduced the proposal with key compromises on the
permitting process and neighbor consent requirement.176 In the
context of inflamed emotion and impassioned debate, the
proposed amendment passed five-to-two in June 2010."' At one
point, in voting against a public meeting to discuss the
amendment, the mayor stated: "There's a lot of anger around
this issue for some reason. More so than the war by far. I don't

unanimous neighbor-consent requirement proved unwieldy for
potential chicken owners, and of only four permit applications
' picked up from the city, none had been returned a month after
the council approved the three-permit test run.179 Four months
after the controversial chicken-law vote, one incumbent
councilmember referred to the issue as "more noise than
substance."180

August 4, 2012
Dear Mr. Gaffron, �
While you were out on vacation, I'm sure you are aware that the planning commission held their
work session on August lst. Ms. Curtis kindly invited me to attend the meeting to listen and observe.
I did my best to be quiet and listen but it was very difficult as I could see that no one,with the
exception of Melanie,was very familiar with the case and the many documents the both of us had
provided-this may not have been the case... but just my observation. At the meeting I asked for
permission to speak. No one objected. In retrospect, I probably should have kept my mouth shut.
As you know, from my original letter and phone calls,this has been a very difficult situation for both
my husband and,myself last year and now again this year. Just again this morning my husband went
.-� :,
out to have coffee on our deck and was bombarded by the sounds of roosters crowing continuously. ``'
We feel that it is unreasonable and ruins the peaceful setting of our property-why we moved here in �
the first place. �
Recently I learned that another neighbor(to the west of the neighbor with the roosters) completely
agrees that the roosters are loud and obnoxious—he calls it noise pollution. However,he would like
to remain anonymous and not be involved since he lives right next door. He did share with me that
the chickens would come onto his deck last year and "crap all over" as he put it. He also shared this
with Officer Barnes.
The neighbor with the roosters moved the coup from his side of her yard to the Butterfield's side of
her yard(east side). The coup is at most 10 feet from their property line and I believe it is to be 75 .
feet from any property line. I doubt she has over 150 feet between the two property lines to be in
accordance with the current ordinance zoning code 78—419. •
We are exhausted with dealing with this issue(as is Officer Barnes most likely). We hope and pray
for a reasonable resolution from the City of Orono now and to help prevent a situation like this from
occurring again in the future with a clearer chicken/rooster ordinance. We are not asking that Orono
change from a rural community,but rather implement some common sense standards regarding the
number of chickens allowed and prohibit roosters like many communities do (most recently
Shorewood-I recently talked to Paul Neilsen,planning director—he says to say"hi"). It should
never be okay,rural community or not,to continuously annoy your neighbors breaking noise
ordinance 62-10—at this point it is feeling like harassment.
� }
The problem with our current chicken(fowl) ordinance/regulations is that anyone who owns several
acres could potentially have hundreds of chickens and/or roosters which would put them into the
chicken production business. They would have hundreds of eggs a day/week to deal with andlor
chickens that would need to be butchered for meat... no single household would need this many
chickens/roosters—per a discussion with Mr.Nielsen,planning director of Shorewood.
. ' . • .� �. _�c.
Allowing a single resident to own this many chickens (fowl) opens up a whole new set of concerns
of sanitation waste run off,public health concerns, odors,noise and business regulations... Most
people would never go down this road for several reasons and one being they are aware that this
' many chickens is costly to raise,time consuming and unnecessary and that roosters are loud.and can
be a serious noise issue for their neighbors. �
Without proper guidelines and regulations we run the risk of someone owning several chickens and
roosters as is the case with our neighbor. The problem with roosters is even one or two can be too
� many as they crow very loudly and can be heard for several blocks away—even piercing the walls of
homes. They also crow all through out the day. The most reasonable solution, out of respect for the
' community, we believe is to prohibit roosters and put a reasonable limit on the number of
chicken/fowl that can be owned. What if every household decided they wanted to go into the
business of raising chickens and produced several roosters too. Do we want to be known as this kind
of community—where someone's right to own a noisy rooster is more important that someone's
right to enjoy the peacefulness and quietness of their property/community?
We understand that there is a public hearing on this topic being held on Tuesday August 20�'. We
� are pleased and thankful that the city is willing to open tliis topic up for discussion and consider
making changes. Unfortunately, however, our family is scheduled to take our one and only family�
vacation to a cabin in Wisconsin for the week. We are in a tight spot,with the hearing and our only
family vacation being scheduled the same week.
Since we have been dealing with this issue a11 summer, which has been very time consuming and
stressful, -not including all we dealt with last year as well... we really feel strongly that we need a
break to get away and have some peace and quiet and relax. We would like to ask,if at all possible,
if the public hearing could be delayed a couple of weeks so that we would have the opportunity to
participate since we brought the issue to the city in the first place. We realize this is a lot to ask
considering all that has taken place,but it is the only family vacation we have planned for the
summer. If rescheduling the hearing is not an option,would it be possible for us to prepare a
statement and have someone read it for us? We also have a video recording we would like to play.
Will the Orono City Council be present as well?
Whatever you can do to help us with this case and possibly move the public hearing to another week
. would be greatly appreciated! We know that we are asking a lot here and would like to thank you,
Ms. Curtis, Ms. Loftus,Mr. Barnes,Mr. Mattick and Mr. Potts for your willingness to address our
concerns and help.
Please feel free to share this letter with all named parties above, the Orono City Council, Planning
Commissioners and any others you think appropriate. Thank you and we look forward to hearing
your comments and responses to this letter.
Sincerely,
Wade and Laura Shatzer
