[Amended 9-6-1979 by L.L. No. 28-1979]
Any person desiring to maintain or continue
to maintain any such fowl yard or pen shall first obtain from the
Board of Trustees an annual permit therefor. Such permit shall be
issued upon application, in writing, and upon payment of an annual
fee as set by the Board of Trustees by resolution of a majority vote
of its members present at a Board meeting. Said permit shall expire on May 31 succeeding the day
of its issuance. No such fowl yard or pen shall be constructed or
maintained without such a permit.
Before any annual permit is issued as provided in §
76-13 hereof, the person desiring to maintain such chicken, duck or other fowl yard or pen shall file a statement accompanying the application which shall set forth the maximum number of chickens, ducks or other fowl to be maintained during the license period, and upon the granting of such license or permit such applicant shall be limited to the maintenance of the number of chickens, ducks or other fowl not exceeding the amount allowed in such permit. This provision shall apply to all persons heretofore or hereafter maintaining a chicken, duck or fowl yard.
No chicken, duck or other fowl yard or pen shall
be built or maintained in the Village without the approval of the
Board of Trustees, nor shall any chicken, duck or other fowl yard
be maintained within 25 feet of any stream or within 25 feet of any
street or dwelling, nor shall any such yard or pen or any portion
thereof be located a distance of less than 10 feet inside of the side
or rear property line of any parcel of property upon which the same
shall be located. All such pens or yards shall be kept in a clean
and sanitary condition and all filth accumulating in or about the
same shall be promptly removed.
It shall be unlawful for any person to maintain
any chicken, duck or other fowl yard or pen in which shall be kept
more than a total of 10 such chickens, ducks or other fowl, except
in such places within the business zones of the Village in which such
chicken, duck or other fowl yard or pen has been operated and continuously
maintained for a period of one year prior to July 8, 1948, and except
pigeon coops and roosts.
[Amended 9-6-1979 by L.L. No. 29-1979]
No pigeon coop or roost shall be constructed
or maintained unless the person desiring to maintain the same shall
first make application thereof, in writing, to the Board of Trustees
and obtain an annual permit for which the fee shall be as set by the
Board of Trustees by resolution of a majority vote of its members
present at a Board meeting. Such permit shall expire on May 31 following the date
of its issuance.
All pigeon coops or roosts shall be kept in
a clean and sanitary condition, which shall be so constructed that
the same shall be closed and the pigeons confined therein at all times.
No person shall at any time have or maintain
in such pigeon coop or roost more than six pigeons, and the maintenance
of an amount exceeding six is hereby declared unlawful.
