Grantwood
Village will allow residents to keep chickens in their backyards. "We feel
that this will be a good law," said Cathy Forand, chairman of the
Grantwood Village Board of Trustees. "We were looking for ways for people
to have chickens without disturbing their neighbors."
Households
will have a limit of four hens with no roosters, so as to keep down the noise.
They must be kept in a covered, fenced enclosure with the chicken coop inside
of it. The area and coop must be kept clean to avoid fowl odors.
The
enclosure must be attached to the back wall of the house.By attaching it to the
back wall, the coop and chickens also will not be seen from the street.
The
village's board of trustees approved the plan at its Oct. 18 meeting. An
ordinance to pass the plan will be on the Nov. 15 agenda.
