She said accessory structures should have a common five-foot setback, so chicken coops can later be repurposed. "In the beginning, we do compare surrounding areas," Gardner said during a meeting Nov. 10. "We consider what has worked (well) in other communities — but then when you apply it to your own community, it gives an opportunity to get some feedback or maybe have a little bit of reflection on what’s working or maybe what could be changed.” Mayor Pro-Tem Jim Bohn opposed changing the ordinance, arguing the discussion was only coming up because one resident “created his own hardship” by putting up a chicken coop before chickens were permitted.
