Property is zoned A-One Family Residence. <br />The following variances are requested: <br />1. A 2 ft. and 5 ft. variance for side yard setback for two animal shelters; code requires 10 ft. <br />side yard setback, applicant shows 8 ft. and 5 ft., respectively, Section 1135.02(E)(1). <br />2. A variance for two animal shelters located within the required 200 ft. of a dwelling; code <br />requires a minimum separation of 200 ft. from any dwelling on an adjacent lot, applicant <br />shows less than 200 ft., Section 1135.02(E)(1). <br />Mr. Aspery said the applicant is proposing to retain two existing animal shelters on their 33,768 <br />square foot lot on Fitch Road. The zoning code requires that shelters for domestic farm animals <br />be located within rear yard areas so that no part of the structure is located within ten feet of any <br />side or rear lot line. The applicant shows their goat pen five feet from the northern property line <br />and the chicken coop eight feet from the southern property line. Code also requires that shelters <br />not be within 200 feet of a dwelling on any adjacent lot, whereas the two existing structures <br />show various setback distances under this required distance. <br />Mr. Stasiuk said the chicken coop was built about ten years ago. He believed it was far enough <br />from the neighboring houses. The structure is safe and sturdy. The goat pen was built about a <br />year and a half ago for his daughter's miniature goats that she raises for 4-H. Mr. Stasiuk said he <br />asked about the requirements and he heard the distances needed to be 175 feet and the posts <br />needed to be installed every five feet. He hasn't had any complaints, the area is dry and the <br />animals are quiet. Hannah Stasiuk said they use the chickens for eggs and she bought the goats <br />herself. They are very healthy and do not smell or make a lot of noise. Barb Stasiuk said they <br />checked the ordinances for animal requirements and designed the building to be aesthetically <br />pleasing to the neighbors. The animals are considered part of their family. Mr. Stockdale is the <br />neighbor to the rear of the applicant's property. He is pleased with the setup of the property and <br />thinks everything is well maintained. Mr. Aspery said there was not a complaint, the distances <br />are close enough and the neighbors are not affected, so he was in favor of the variances. Ms. <br />Rambo-Ackerman added that the property was cited during the property maintenance sweeps. <br />Mr. Mackey believed the applicant came well prepared. Mr. Papotto thought the applicant could
