[Adopted 6-11-1985 by Ord. No. O-7-85]
[Amended 9-23-2008 by Ord. No. O-22-2008]
Subject to the zoning ordinances of the Township
of Franklin, no livestock, poultry and other animals traditionally
raised for food, fiber, fur, or other production means shall be kept
or maintained within the Township of Franklin on any private or public
plot of land or other premises without complying with all of the provisions
of this article.
Failure to comply with any of the following
provisions is hereby declared to be a public health nuisance and detrimental
to the health and well-being of the public:
A.
All livestock, poultry and other animals traditionally
raised for food, fiber, fur or other production means shall be confined
in a suitable, durable building, enclosure or runway which will not
allow any of the confined animals or fowl to enter any other property.
[Amended 9-23-2008 by Ord. No. O-22-2008]
B.
Such building, enclosure or runway shall be located
in all area of the property which will prevent it from becoming a
nuisance or annoyance or interference with the health, enjoyment or
general well-being of any other residents of this municipality.
C.
Such building, enclosure or runway shall be maintained
in a safe, sanitary condition which will not allow it to become a
nuisance or annoyance or interference with the health, enjoyment or
general well-being of any other residents of this municipality.
[Amended 9-23-2008 by Ord. No. O-22-2008]
Whenever a nuisance, as declared by this article,
is found on any private or public plot of land or premises, notice,
in writing, shall be given to the owner thereof to remove or abate
the same within such time as shall be specified therein, but not less
than five days from the date of service thereof. This five-day minimum
is waived in the case of an imminent public health hazard, as determined
by the Board of Health, or its agents or employees, or if an imminent
health hazard exists to the animal(s). A duplicate of the notice shall
be left with one or more of the tenants or occupants of the premises.
If the owner resides out of state or cannot be notified speedily,
such notice shall be left at that place or premises with the tenant
or occupant thereof or posted on the premises, and such action shall
be considered proper notification to the owner, tenant or occupant
thereof.
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Any person, landlord, tenant, firm, partnership, corporation
and/or association that keeps, harbors, feeds, raises and/or breeds
livestock, poultry and other animals traditionally raised for food,
fiber, fur or other production means.
[Amended 9-23-2008 by Ord. No. O-22-2008]
Any owner who violates or fails or neglects
to comply with any provision of this article or a notice issued thereto
shall, upon conviction thereof, be liable to a penalty of not less
than $25 nor more than $500 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding
60 days, or both.
