MOTION: Mahlum moved, seconded by Sohlberg, approving the minutes of the
meeting of May 25, 2021. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0.
4. ACTION ITEMS
A.Review Draft Animal Ordinance Allowing Chickens to be Kept on Single-Family
Residential Properties
Sharpe and committee members first discussed that the objective of the meeting was to
review the draft ordinance and to provide any comments or amendments. Sharpe
informed the Committee that if they were close, a public hearing would be scheduled for
August 24, 2021 for members of the public to comment on the draft ordinance.
Sharpe presented on nine primary aspects of the ordinance which are outlined below:
•Locations chickens would be permitted – Single-family properties.
•Roosters shall be prohibited.
•Total number of chickens permitted per lot – 5 hens, chicks until 4 weeks old.
•Butchering shall be prohibited.
•A permit being required. Bi-annual renewal with a one-time fee.
2
• Setbacks – 10’ rear setback, 10’ side setback.
o Chicken Coop shall be closer to subject dwelling/home than any
neighboring home.
Sharpe advised that in the draft ordinance the committee had
discussed additional setbacks to neighboring structures and the
requirement that the chicken coop be closer to the subject
properties home than any neighbors. Research on these setbacks
were typically an either/or and that as written the current draft
ordinance was confusing. Sharpe advised that the Committee
decide on either straight setbacks from neighboring
homes/structures, or the provision to require the placement of the
coop closer to the subject dwelling. The majority of the committee
responded that they sought to retain the closer to subject dwelling
provision and strike the distance setbacks.
• Chicken Coop size and materials
o Coop shall be five sq. ft. per hen and the run shall be 10 sq. ft. per hen.
o Maximum size shall be 100 sq. ft.
o Building materials shall be “professionally constructed or out of similar
standards and materials.
o Coops shall be considered accessory structures and shall be counted
towards the two permitted per lot.
• Coop waste shall be disposed of by licensed trash hauler.
o Coop waste shall not be composted on site.
• Food storage shall be in a metal, water-tight container which is rodent resistant.
The Committee then discussed the public hearing and noted that the ordinance was ready for
public input.
5. OTHER BUSINESS
A. Next Urban Affairs meeting is scheduled for August 24, 2021 with a public hearing
to discuss the draft animal ordinance

AC T I O N RE Q UE S T E D:
Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the public hearing. It is the policy of
the Urban A ffairs Advisory C ommittee not to act on an item the night of the public hearing.
S UM M ARY:
T he Urban Affairs Advisory Committee (UA A C) was directed by the City Council to
research and develop a draft animal ordinance regarding backyard chickens in November
2020. UA A C began their work in February 2021 with a presentation from a community
advocate representing a petition of approximately 350 supporting residents and a University
of Minnesota Extension Services staff member detailing other city's ordinances and best
practices.
At the last UA A C meeting on J uly 27th the C ommittee reviewed a draft ordinance and
directed staff to schedule the public hearing. T he draft ordinance, which is attached to this
report, has 9 primary topics outlined below. T he Planning C ommission has also been asked
to provide their input on aspects of the draft ordinance which relate to their responsibility,
specifically zoning districts and setbacks.
Where would chickens be permitted - Permitted to be kept in all single-family zones.
T here remains members that have expressed that chickens should remain an agricultural
animal as defined by the current ordinance.
The draf t ordinance allows chickens to be kept in Institutional f or school
educational purposes, and all single-f amily zones, this includes R-1, R-2, R-3,
Residential C luster, and Planned Developments with single-f amily.
Should roosters be prohibited - T he the keeping of roosters should be prohibited.
The draf t ordinance prohibits roosters, which is consistent with all surrounding
communities.
T he total number of chickens/hens permitted on a single-family lot - T he keeping of
four or five hens are proposed to be permitted as a best practice. Additionally, chicks
were sought to be permitted on Institutional properties for the purpose of education.
The draf t ordinance allows f or five hens on single f amily property and chicks to
be kept f or educational purposes on Institutionally zoned properties.
Additionally, chicks are def ined as a chicken aged 0-4 weeks, which is consistent
with the University of Minnesota, and neighboring C ity def initions.
Butchering - permitted or prohibited? -
The draf t ordinance prohibits butchering. This is consistent with surrounding
communities.
Permitting requirements - A permit is required, and does not require a neighbors
permission.
The draf t requires a permit, which is renewed biannually with a f ee required f or
the f irst application. Subsequent bi-annual renewals will only require a minimal
processing charge f or renewal. This allows the C ity to better monitor location
and total number of coops. This also allows f or the C ity to monitor f or removal
of the coop if it is no longer in use, which is required by the draf t ordinance.
With a permit comes responsibility by the property owner to maintain and avoid
nuisance conditions.
An educational requirement or certif icate is not a condition of approval, but will
be advised. Application materials, best practices, guiding management and care
tips will be of f ered on the C ity website.
The permit requires a site plan that details setbacks, size, and location of
neighboring structures to ensure compliance. Additionally, building materials are
required to meet all other accessory structure standards, which prohibits less
prof essional materials. Photos will establish a record of the location and
materials.
Setbacks - T here is a general consensus on the required setbacks. Each of these is
detailed below.
Front yard - Not permitted
Rear yard from lot line - 10'
Side yard from lot line - 10'
C oop/run must be closer to subject property dwelling than to neighboring
properties dwelling
Chicken coop size and materials - A coop/run will be considered an alternative
accessory structure.
The draf t code requires a coop to have 5 sq. f t. per chicken and 10 sq. f t. f or
each chicken in the run with a maximum size of 100 sq. f t. of f ering some
f lexibility to the property owner.
Building materials must be consistent with other accessory structures and be
"prof essionally constructed or out of similar standards and materials".
The code requires the run to have a f ull roof as this was advised by the
University of Minnesota Extension Services staff as a best practice.
The draf t code considers coops as accessory structures. C ode allows two
accessory structures per lot.
Coop waste - Regular cleaning is sought and coop waste is not be permitted to be
composted on site.
The draf t ordinance requires the coop to be kept in a clean manner and that all
waste be disposed of through a licensed hauler.
Food Storage - T he C ity Attorney was able to create a code consistent with other cities
and other sections of the City Ordinance in accordance with the keeping of animal
feed.
T he draft code requires that feed be stored in metal, water-tight, rodent resistant
containers which is consistent with neighboring cities and Apple Valley ordinance
regarding animal feed.
T he draft ordinance currently does not permit chickens to be "free-range" within a yard, they
must be kept in the coop/run at all times. Members of the public have expressed concern
over this provision.
T he Dakota C ounty Tribune published an article on Friday A ugust 13th, on the draft
ordinance and the public hearing. A copy of the article is attached to this memo for your
reference. Since that time staff has received correspondence and feedback from residents,
which are attached. C orrespondence received after the publication of this memo will be
shared with the committee at the public hearing and made a part of the record.

Apple Valley seeks
input on backyard
chickens
• by Patty Dexter
• Aug 13, 2021 Updated Aug 13, 2021
First public hearing is Aug. 24
The city of Apple Valley is seeking input from residents about allowing backyard
chickens at single family residences.
The Apple Valley Urban Affairs Advisory Committee is hosting a public hearing 7
p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 24, at the Municipal Center, 7100 147th St. W. to get feedback on
draft ordinance changes related to backyard chickens.
“We know there’s a lot of interest, but in a community of 55,000 people, there must
be other opinions. There must be other viewpoints and we’re hoping that this public
hearing would help generate some of that,” said Community Development Director
Bruce Nordquist.
The Apple Valley City Council voted Nov. 12, 2020, to direct the Urban Affairs
Committee to revisit an ordinance that currently prohibits residents from keeping
chickens in residential neighborhoods.
Apple Valley last took formal action on backyard chickens in 2014 when the City
Council voted to affirm a ban on chickens and other farm animals at residential
properties. The vote had followed a review of the city ordinance pertaining to
household pets and farm animals prompted by residents expressing interest in keeping
goats and chickens at their single-family homes.
The council went through with the Nov. 12 vote after supporters of backyard chickens
and Apple Valley residents asked the city to look at the issue again.
Other Dakota County cities including Lakeville, Farmington, Rosemount, Eagan and
Burnsville allow chickens. All of those cities limit the number chickens that can be
kept and some cities require residents to get a license or permit before keeping
chickens.
The Urban Affairs Advisory Committee has been working on the topic since
February. The group discussed the proposed changes at its last meeting on July 27.
According to the city, the draft ordinance changes include:
• permitting chickens to be kept in all single-family zones and institutional zones for
school educational purposes;
• prohibiting roosters;
• limiting the number of chickens that can be kept to four or five hens.
• prohibiting butchering;
• requiring permits to keep chickens without the permission of neighbors;
• setbacks that would not allow a chicken coop in the front yard. The coop and run
would have to be closer to the property dwelling than neighboring homes and be 10
feet from the rear and side yard lot lines;
• the chicken coop being considered an alternative accessory structure;
• requiring chicken waste to be disposed of through a licensed hauler and not allowing
it to be composted on site, and
• requiring that feed be stored in a metal, water-tight and rodent-resistent containers.
Nordquist said the proposed permit process for keeping chickens hasn’t been finalized
but preliminary plans include having residents renew the permit every two years.
There would be an initial cost for the first permit but subsequent renewals could be
free.
“Knowing where they’re located helps us address nuisance conditions if they arise and
it helps us keep track of how many are out there in a broadly regulated way,” he said.
The Urban Affairs Advisory Committee will respond to and make changes if needed
after the public hearing, Nordquist said. The Planning Commission is also reviewing
the draft ordinance because of the group’s focus on land uses in the city. A public
hearing will be scheduled during a Planning Commission meeting, likely in the fall.
The Urban Affairs Advisory Committee and Planning Commission will both make
recommendations about the proposed changes for the City Council to consider,
Nordquist added.
Residents who are unable to attend the public hearings can submit feedback about
backyard chickens via email to Nordquist at Bruce.Nordquist@applevalleymn.gov.

Re: Backyard Chickens
Apple Valley Urban Affairs Advisory Chair and Committee Members,
I grew up in a small town with a population of 900 residents. My parents owned an agricultural business
that included commercial chemical and fertilizer applications and sales, bag and bulk livestock feed
delivery, dairy intake creamery, large batch egg purchases, egg candling for end use market sales,
poultry sales (chicks), and purchasing adult chickens as an intermediary for end use market sales. I
worked in this business for 9 years until attending college.
I am unable to attend the 6 pm public hearing on Tuesday, August 24th, 2021. These are my thoughts
and experiences pertaining to chickens and items that I ask you to consider.
It takes very few chickens (only about 3 to 4) to impact the air quality. Cages must be cleaned of
waste and bedding materials and replaced several times per week to avoid incurring an
embedded and permeating ammonia waste smell.
If chickens are allowed "free-range" in yards, will fences be required?
Will chicken yard waste removal be required on a regular timeline to prevent air quality and
ground water run-off issues?
o How will this be regulated?
Since chickens will be caged outdoors, they will draw predators. Expect fox, coyote,, raccoons,
mink, ferrets, rats, mice (owls follow rodents) and other animals looking for food. This food
includes the chickens, their eggs, and the chicken feed. Most of these animals are nocturnal and
chickens will make a lot of loud noise when startled, scared or threatened.
Expect a general increase of the rat and mice population when raising poultry because of the
chicken food, eggs and bedding materials. The increase in rodent population will affect
neighboring homes.
A minimum lot size required to raise chickens. 1/3 acre or?
Consider the property lines and houses.
o Will there be a property line set back requirement to limit the free-range"?
o Will you impose a minimum distance of footage spacing (perhaps 20 feet) between
houses?
Do not allow roosters. Noise concerns.
Thank you,
Gerald Brown

Hi Bruce,
My wife and I vote no to the proposal to allow chickens in people’s back yards in Apple Valley. The main
reason is that we chose to live in the city and not out in the country where there is room for farm animals. A
chicken coop in someone’s back yard would be a pretty ugly site, especially if not well maintained.
We won’t be able to attend the August 24th hearing so am sending this.
Thanks for you consideration.

Subject: Backyard chickens ordinance
Dear Mr. Nordquist,
I am writing to oppose the allowance of backyard chickens in the city of Apple Valley.
I am a firm believer that people, especially those choosing to live in cities in close proximity to others, should live in a
manner that creates no nuisance for others.
Research on this topic will easily yield sufficient reasons that this should not be allowed in a city. First, chickens ARE
noisy. It is a misconception that only roosters create noise pollution—any chicken‐raiser will attest to the “chicken egg
song” (screeching & cackling) that chickens make not only when laying their own eggs but when another does so or the
nest they want is taken. This may seem quaint & endearing to the chicken owner, at least for a time, but to neighbors, it
is a different story. It is bad enough when homeowners have to endure the incessant barking of neighborhood dogs due
to inconsiderate or irresponsible neighbors‐‐ throwing chicken coops to the mix is just foolish. Add roosters to the
equation and the situation becomes ridiculous. (It is very hard to identify the sex of a chicken when young, even to
seasoned chicken farmers, meaning a certain percentage of homeowners who think they’re buying chickens will actually
be buying roosters.)
Over the past decade or so, we’ve all seen and heard about wildlife and nuisance predators becoming increasingly
common in cities. We’ve seen this for ourselves on our own property. When we start adding more animals (like
chickens) to city living that are especially attractive to predators such as coyotes, foxes, badgers, hawks, skunks, mink,
raccoons, and even stray cats & dogs, we compound the problem. It also compounds rodent problems, as rodents are
very attracted to chicken feed and coops.
Anyone who has raised chickens will attest to the fact that they poop often & indiscriminately. Their waste contains
harmful acids, is unhealthy, and isn’t good for plants or suitable for the compost heap. Poop STINKS. Especially in warm
weather. Many people have a hard enough time picking up their domesticated pet waste—how many will responsibly
and regularly pick up chicken poop so the neighborhood doesn’t have to smell it, deal with the flies that are attracted to
it, or deal with the consequences of it being eventually washed into area lakes?
If you’ve ever perused the NextDoor site, you’ll see plenty of angry posts about irresponsible animal owners—everything
from people not picking up their animal’s waste to not caring for them properly to being inconsiderate of the noise
nuisance their animals are creating for neighbors. Now people want to add farm animals to the mix? Just, no. I grew up
on a farm. I moved to the city for a reason. If people want to raise chickens, they can move to the countryside where this
choice will not negatively impact the quality of life of their neighbors. If you want to live in the city in close proximity to
2
thousands of other people, be willing to consider other peoples’ well‐being as highly as your own. I’ve read the draft
ordinance changes that attempt to address some of these issues. But why? It seems like another case of the majority of
citizens having to deal with the unsavory consequences created by a small but vocal group of people who want to have
their cake and eat it too. Even if getting a neighbor’s OK to raise chickens is part of the equation, it doesn’t solve these
issues—people buy and sell, with new people moving into neighborhoods all the time. This ordinance just creates more
potential problems than it’s worth.
Please, we certainly don’t need anything else for people to be upset with one another about. Say no to farm animals in
the city.
Thank you for your time.
Respectfully,
Marcie Greenwaldt, Apple Valley resident
