CEO Cassidy  Correct

Burkhardt  Just to clarify for myself and the record only the goat and goat enclosure will move to the
  Agriculture district. And then the plan is to continue with 6 chickens and not proceed
  with getting the additional chickens.

Ernst  No, he will be moving the additional chickens back too.

Kotarski  And the rooster moves too.

Carl  You will continue to house 6 hens in the smaller structure and put the rooster and
  remaining chickens into the Agricultural district.

Kotarski  I will.

Ernst  If we table it, we request you come back next month with a sketch showing the new
  location and if we approve it then we could put a timeline on when to move it.

Kotarski  Agreed.

Simeone  The structure on the left, as you face your house, we’ll call it the chicken coop. You will
  retain 6 hens in that building/coop and not move it?

Kotarski  Correct.

Simeone  Ok. The other one, we’ll call it the goat house, will be 300+’ back and you’ll have the
  goats and remaining chickens and the rooster.

Kotarski  Correct

Simeone  If he does that then the request for a variance goes away, is that correct?

CEO Cassidy  Correct.

Simeone  That sounds reasonable. If you come back with a drawing next month, we can set a
  timeline and if it’s carried out then there will be no decision needed from this board.

Ernst  Just to be clear, you have a 33’ right-of-way from the centerline of the road to your
  property line and the 300’ is beyond that point. In case you’re trying to pace that off.

Kotarski  Right. That’s why if I go back 345’ then that should be a safe distance.

Ernst  Opened the hearing to public, if anyone would like to speak on this Case.

Hearing no one, Chair Ernst closed the public hearing.
