Public Hearing Set For May 24

The Council agenda has been posted and the public hearing for chickens will happen this coming Thursday. If you’d like to read the specific LDO wording changes, click here (PDF link).

We hope to see all of you at the meeting. Bring you kids, it’s good for them to be able to witness how local government functions (or doesn’t, depending on your opinion).

If you have not done so recently, please email council@townofcary.org and let them know why you want chickens legalized and your thoughts on the proposed ordinance.

• Are you happy with the 6 hen limit?
• Do you understand the proposed setback rules? If not, let them know if it is confusing and that you want an easy to follow rule (e.g. 8’ from all property lines, which is the minimum set back for the various zonings, assuming I understand it correctly).
• How do you feel about the $50 one time fee (yearly fee appears to have been dropped)?

If you are on friendly terms with your neighbors, it will be very helpful if you can convince them to email council and let them know that they even though they do not plan on getting chickens, they have no objections if their neighbors do.
