October 21, 1991
6:00 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Mayor McKinley, Dell, Brown, Buck, Budak,
Angel and Wright.
Members absent: Fox.
The Agenda, as proposed, was approved.
The purpose of the Work Session was to discuss ordinance
changes relating to the keeping of domestic and non-domestic
animals. Amendments to the animal and fowl portion of the
City Code of Ordinances and the Zoning Ordinances were
proposed for discussion purposes. The first ordinance would
prohibit the keeping of non-domestic animals including, but
not limited to horses, cows, calves, swine, sheep, goats,
chickens, ducks, rabbits or other fowl within 50 feet of any
dwelling not occupied by the keeper. The zoning ordinance
states that no more than four domestic animals would be
permitted in any residential district. Further, there must
be at least 20,000 square feet per animal with an additional
10,000 square feet for each animal exceeding two in number.
There was considerable discussion on the definition of
domestic animals as well as complaints that have spurred the
ordinance changes. It was recognized that this was a
serious problem in some areas and one which'is difficult to
mediate.
No official action was taken by members of the council.
This item will be reviewed again by the City Council at a
work session on Monday, November 4, 1991.
With no further business before the Committee, the meeting
was adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
