Kotarski  I can do that. It won’t be moved until the weather improves.

Ernst  We can give a timeframe to get it moved by.

CEO Cassidy  Confirmed.

Ernst  What would be the timeframe if the location is approved. We know the weather is a
  challenge right now.

Kotarski  When things dry up so it can be moved. Definitely by June. I just need some time
  because right now it’s a swamp back there.

Burkhardt  For measuring back 300’ to the appropriate zone, is that something the Building
  Department can do or should he get a surveyor to measure 300’ to make sure he is in the
  appropriate area.

CEO Cassidy  Do you know where the pins are on the back corners of your property?

Kotarski  I don’t. I know that there was a pin in the center of the street at my old house in
  Lancaster but I’m not sure where they are.

CEO Cassidy  If you were to measure from the centerline of Center St you would be measuring 333’ and
  you would be able to place the building behind that line. You can fence in any other area
  but the actual building have to be behind that line.

Kotarski  Ok, I would probably go back an additional 15’. I was already looking at buying a
  measuring wheel and measuring from the center of the street. If I measure from the
  center of the street 345’ then I should be ok.

CEO Cassidy  That would be ok.

Ernst  Would you be moving both of the sheds for the chickens, or just one.

Kotarski  It would be moving one and I would be keeping 6 chickens where they are.

Ernst  6 chickens in the RR.

Kotarski  Yes.

Morgan  There is a rooster there?

Kotarski  Yes, he will move to the back.

Ernst  Reconfirmed the rooster will go to the back.

Carl  He is asking for 17 chickens in total, I see the rule is 6 chickens/acre. Does this apply
  regardless of the Agriculture district?

CEO Cassidy  Agricultural districts don’t limit the number or type of animal.

Carl  So the number would be unlimited if he put it back.
