Egg-citing Proposal Brought To Litchfield - thejournal-news.net
Fuhrmann said that the ordinance puts an undo hardship on those wishing to raise chickens and presented the council with a petition signed by 119 Litchfield citizens and more than 100 individuals from the surrounding area in favor of the change. Fuhrmann proposed several restrictions to the ordinance change, which included limiting the number of chickens allowed in a backyard coop to six and restricted the type of bird to those of the egg laying and non-crowing variety, specifically... Fuhrmann proposed a yearly license of $20 for the first year and $10 for renewal for future years. Under Fuhrmann's plan, the amendment would be a two year trial run, allowing the council to make the amendment permanent or revert the ordinance back after that time. After Fuhrmann's presentation, Mayor Steve Dougherty asked if Fuhrmann had all of the information he needed to proceed forward with his proposal through the planning and zoning board. The motions included an ordinance declaring a 2003 Chevrolet Impala and a 2005 Chevrolet Impala as. Source: www.thejournal-news.net
