Following a presentation at a previous Council Meeting, the City Council is to consider a request to permit “farm animals” and other domesticated animals in the city. Certain criteria must be met regarding the keeping of at least two but not more than four hens of any chicken or quail’; no male birds permitted; hens may not roam at large and must be kept in a coop with an outside enclosure’ one coop per property permitted.
Also the location of the coop must be a minimum of five feet from any property lien or a minimum of 20 feet fro any residential structure on an adjacent lot. Portable coops are prohibited.
Also the premises are to be kept in a sanitary condition, free from rodents, offensive odors, excessive noise, or any other conditions which constitute a public nuisance. Additionally, all feed must be kept in bins with tightly fitting lids to prevent access by wildlife. Feeders shall be used as opposed to casting the food on the ground. Also, registration with the Illinois Department of Agriculture Livestock shall be made and proof posted in a location that is visible from the street.
No sale of birds or eggs will be permitted and no slaughter of any bird within the City on any residential property. Additionally, a permit from the city is required on an annual basis with proof of Illinois registration, veterinary care and site plan must be submitted with the permit application.
