Timeline

May 21, 2026
Zoning Board of Appeals
  • Discussion only — no vote taken; board indicated two options: denial or adjournment pending town zoning ordinance review
  • Applicant seeks use variance and area variance to keep 6–7 chickens in backyard coop at R-5 residential property
  • Use variance requires proof of financial hardship and four statutory criteria; applicant provided none of these; board stated criteria likely not met
  • Area variance requests reducing setback from 8 feet to 6 feet from property line; coop size and proximity to neighbors raised concerns
  • Town considering new ordinance that would allow chickens only on 20,000+ sq ft lots with 100-foot separation from houses; applicant's ~R-5 lot would not qualify

Next steps

  • Board to convene in executive session after all cases conclude to discuss and vote on case
  • Decision may be announced same meeting, deferred, or adjournment granted pending town ordinance adoption
  • Applicant notified via letter of board's decision; may request adjournment if town zoning change moves forward
  • If town ordinance adopted, applicant's property likely remains ineligible due to lot size; use variance denial probable

Sentiment

3 /10

From Zoning Board of Appeals · May 21, 2026

  • Board skeptical: Chair and Member 2 emphasized use variance burden is difficult; applicant failed to present financial hardship or statutory criteria
  • Neighbors opposed: Three residents testified—noise from roosters, odor, and escaped chickens damaging gardens; neighbor at property line reported year-long disturbance since July 2025
  • Applicant sympathetic but unprepared: Stated chickens for son's recreation; unfamiliar with town ordinance; appeared resigned to removal requirement
