Still no resolution to raising chickens in the village of Wellsville
The Village of Wellsville has hit the pause button, again,
on the matter of people raising chickens. Officials have been tinkering with
modifying a local law about chickens. In summary - This local Law amends Local
Law #4 of 1999 which amended Local Law #6 of 1978 known as the “The Village of
Wellsville Zoning Local Law of 1978”.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF WELLSVILLE
as follows:
The Village of Wellsville Zoning Local Law of 1978, Section
II, 2.02. Definition of Words and Terms, Subsection.10 Agricultural Use is
amended to allow the keeping of chickens in the Village subject to adherence to
the provisions provided herein.
At the village board meeting this week, Deputy mayor Ed Fahs
told the audience a fourth hearing would be held in the coming months.
At the March 10th meeting, the village plans to
set a date for a new public hearing on the topic as the proposed local law is modified. Fahs
said the next hearing date will be published in the village website, www.wellsvilleny.com.
