something not on the agenda this evening okay moving on to public hearings I'll entertain a motion open the public hearing I'll move second all those in favor I all those opposed motion carries all right first up zoning map Amendment
application 01324 to rezone Parcels 28230 531 and 28230 517 from Urban residential zoning District to Highway business zoning District the subject property is located at ho in the day drive pokes Road and
State Highway 371 P ID 282 30531 28230 517 applicant Chris close owner niswa C LC is the applicant present here you're not the applicant who are
you my I'm a resident a property of joining the proposed re so uh I'll have you sit we're we're going to have the applicant come forward first and then you'll have your opportunity after that sorry yep
yeah whichever you want okay in the rezoning of the property to Urban or commercial zoning y thank you Bethany your SE report you anything else for me or uh you stay there okay thank you chair
young um Parcels 28 23531 and 2823 0517 are being proposed to uh be rezoned from Urban residential to Highway business um as you can see in the staff report I've included the
findings of fact and the um items that our ordinance requires you to uh consider when approving or denying a rezone uh the staff recommendation is with its proximity to establish commercial properties to the north and east along with the future land use map um you can see that on the comprehensive
plan page 35 clearly showing that proposed Parcels to be included in the desired Highway commercial area staff recommends approving the zoning map Amendment request in keeping with the current commercial zoning along State Highway 371 the request lends itself to be consistent with those adjacent
properties and the highway business district so once again this is one of the only applications where the staff recommendation actually is asked and is required um and staff does Rec recommend that um the properties be rezoned as proposed Chris do you want us
to give us a brief overview of uh the reason why you're here uh well you know just basically steuart looking longterm seeing what all the surrounding properties are zoned um with the property being on the market for sale uh in his determination commercial
zoning is the most conducive for that area makes the most sense now I will say as everybody's aware he's a an adjacent property owner very nearby so his desire is not to be masochistic um he doesn't have any direct immediate plans I would
say you'd rather be transparent up front and have the zoning rather than zoning on the spot as you have a user having it zoned so that it's conducive to what's already around that area is what he's directed to me okay I'll give the public the
opportunity to make a public comment uh you'll come to the desk state your name and address and then you're given five minutes well me thank you my name is Greg haes and I'm a spokesperson for a number of the residents on Old Government Trail hole
in the day drive and other Pro properties that adjoin the proposed rezoned areas there uh we've got a number of concerns and questions about that one of them is that we look at that property today it's been zoned as
residential for a long time um our concerns are many but we do have a few questions exactly what is Highway business zoning are there different levels of business zoning and if so is the highway business zoning at the top of the level can they put anything in
there that would satisfy their needs as Commercial Business you know can a quick trip go in there is it you know restricted as to what highway business zoning is uh what is the city of nisa's plan for future use of this property it's our
understanding that they have an interest at least in the northern parcel possibly even have a a bid in place contingent on the rezoning if that's the case can City explain to us what the plans are for that property if there is in fact an
interest what studies have been done around the traffic concerns as we know that intersection of County Road 7713 on the other side and 371 is a major concern of ours there have been traffic deaths there as recently in the last few months so we're wondering what the mind
Do's input to that would be in terms of increased traffic with new commercial zoning possibility going into place all the way down to pulk Road uh if there's talk of a stoplight being introduced into the area what does that look like
there's talk about a backage road coming out of South Hazelwood Drive that adjoins that property uh it's a fairly significant wetlands in that property which a number of our properties have on it the maps
that we've looked at in our opinion greatly undersize the actual acreage of that Wetland our question is has the Minnesota DNR been contacted and potentially even the mpca terms of the impact of a commercial zoning
construction development would be on that Wetlands can there be a discussion about a possible buffer zone between the Lake Properties and the potential commercial properties that would be developed there if so who would would make that decision uh to look and introduce a buffer zone
between the residents and that area uh looking at the two Parcels the north parcel has mostly been cleared out it used to be what we knew as the flea market there was a landing strip there at one time so that area seems like it would be more prone to a commercial
development the southern parcel is pretty heavily wooded Stuart carved out where's Stuart has carved out some hunting paths in there so that is the parcel that's mainly of our concern as the residents that are joined that looking at potential devaluation of our
property values and the impact and one of the maps showed it is the one area actually comes within a th000 feet of the lake so looking at that what that would be another question we had was if it is rezoned would the city demand a
planned unit development a PUD process for any future developments going in there would that PUD be a requirement of resoning or is that just a nice to have we're not sure so those are some of our concerns safety the impact on the
property values for the existing Lake residents along Old Government Trail hole in the day drive and there's other the Anderson folks have property that adjoins that that as I said a great deal of that Wetlands uh impacts on their property as
well thank you for your time and consideration if you have any questions as you see we've got a number of our residents here that are uh willing to share our concerns and questions okay thank you thank
you any other comments okay I hearing n I'll close public comments and Chris if you want to come back up you can you can sit at the chair or whatever you you would prefer before we start bethan do you
want to address any of the questions that were raised there was an awful lot there so um if you want to email those to me I'd be happy to get a a Sab at that um but I can answer just a few items uh when considering a rezone the city cannot determine or we cannot base
our decision for that rezone on a potential project and so the rezone is based on the criteria set forth in the ordinance and there are it's in the staff report um you have to consider all of these different points
it's the preservation of natural sensitive areas like the wetlands that you talked about and and what is going to happen with those um it also talks about um present ownership and development the uh soil types topographic concern or characteristics vegetative cover uh inwater physical
characteristics recreational use of surface and the list goes on and so there's a lot of criteria that need to be met um it is in there um if you want me to read off everything I'd be happy to do that um other than that um so we
can't really consider what may it's just we'd have to allow for whatever use is allowed in the highway business for the city of Nisa the highway business um I can read it right here the highway business district allows and encourages commercial development that provides services and shopping facilities
adjacent to trunk Highway 371 the city should encourage open space design principles for commercial projects within this District so what that means is that our impervious for that area is about 50% which is significantly lower um than Central business district which is at 90% so usually commercial
properties they have storm water features they have other things that allow them to to develop at that rate um so for that area it is 50% so that's a a good feature that allows for a lot more green space in that development than traditional commercial areas um trying
to think of the other uh with the wetlands the wetlands are subject to the Wetland Conservation act so those would need to meet all the requirements that the state sets forth with that so you can't impact them in other words in one of those P the DNR had not
been contacted yet the DNR was notified of this that it was coming up um there is a slight little bit as you mentioned in that Bottom southwest corner Corner um that does lie within Shoreland so that area would be subject to Shoreland rules at the state of Minnesota as
well so regardless if those are commercial or not those are still subject to those rules did the DNR response I have not received a response from the DNR it's pretty common for them not to comment until there's something specific
for the property correct right trigger them yeah a lot of those questions that you did pose are specific to projects um so we can't really talk about what they you know what may be proposed who might buy it in 20 years so it's it's not just about what may happen now it's what
would happen in 50 years if we rezone this if it does change um what could happen in 50 years and so we need to do that um the deciding factor as far as the staff recommendation was the fact that our comprehensive plan clearly clearly shows that those Parcels should be
commercial is there consideration as I said splitting the two Parcels to make the northern One commercial and leaving the southern as residential that might be more up to you I guess um I guess it well it hasn't
been uh addressed you know the desire was both I would say some of that being the seldom parcel is right where there's an intersection which I mean we don't know the future and there you know there could be a stop light there someday potentially but so I think you know just
looking what's as I said earlier what's zoned near in the adjacent properties um Steward's desire is to have it all commercial but again and I think any developer and even the city's development they're going to be looking at the overall plan you know this is a
deep property it goes far back most users all the you know the commercial users are going to be utilizing the highway Frontage you got 50% impervious so that helps in terms of tree coverage and things like that but my my experience with niswa is it's Pro
business but very much making sure you're taking care of the Integrity of the area and how things look it's much tougher to develop in this SW than I would say if you want like Baxter 88% in impervious surface so those are just some thoughts on
that yeah can you come forward and state your name please thank you my name is Genie fos and I live on old Trail um on your listing previously before Chris or before Stuart Mills bought it it did show that the entrance
was zoned as Comm commercial um Highway business just right at the entrance so it already showed this cutout being zoned Highway business and then it showed the woodlands behind it being zoned residential when the current
listing went up that had changed and I don't believe there was ever a meeting that had that changed um zoning so their original listing here does show that that pulk entry way where the stoplight would be was already zoned Highway business and
they show the remaining acres are are zoned um as open space and then the f is zoned as Urban residential and this was the previous owner that sold that property the current listing shows it completely different so I wanted to know
if you guys have on record how this was listed and when I was looking at purchasing it before um St Mills bought it um this is how it was zoned and carved out so that's why I want to know if there's a difference in
how that came about I personally can't speak to what it was zoned um I believe it's been zoned this what is shown up there those were so the American national bank owned it and they wanted to show ideas or concepts so those were
conceptual zoning so it wasn't the actual zoning it was a concept of someone came through and wanted to develop it their ideas to help and I think they did a good job of it you know to show ideas for people of here's what could be done um but ultimately whatever the zoning is is what the zon so zoning
I just wanted to have that clarified because that's how that was listed when was listed for sale but it's okay sh here is what Cur correct y okay thank you Mr chair um could I provide some context
as far as the mot plan yes um as everyone can see by these large Maps against the back wall um mindat has been engaging in a very extensive Corridor study from Baxter the Baxter City Limits all the way through um tanisa up to uh the stoplight at County Road 18 so the
the right set of plans here is the northern segment and you can come up after the meeting if you'd like um to to look at that they're they're up any time if you want to stop in another time and take a look at them um but they have been very um intentional to engage the
city about future planning needs and so you will see that there's some design ideas that they're working through to say how can we um make sure that we're meeting current needs and also planning for the future uh so for example that southernmost intersection by Timberwood
Timberwood church does not currently show a stoplight however because we don't know what might develop in the future they know that that potentially could be coming so we want to make sure we're investing the right infrastructure plans now to allow for growth if that makes sense to do so so just know that
that is here for you um they will be engaging the public and the city council further this fall on more specific conversations about these plans but they're certainly um taking their time to go through that and um make sure that everyone's has the opportunity to provide your input and feedback on that
planning so just wanted to to mention that that's available thank you can Jenny can you and um can you comment on if the if the city of Nisa has any plans to purchase certainly can um currently the
city has um a purchase agreement in place uh with Stewart Mills on a portion of this property that is for sale uh we are going through a due diligence period right now it's very extensive there's a lot of Environmental Studies that need to be completed archaeological studies
Etc um before that will be completed um expected to finalize that process this fall and then determine if all of that works then we move towards the um bonding process to issue a bond to to pay for that purchase uh from the city's perspective we are looking at some
future potential needs uh for additional facilities um specifically Public Safety facilities um at that intersection area would be much more efficient than having some of the facilities downtown as they're located now um we've been talking about a city water system is that will that come to fruition or
not we just want to make sure that we have um the opportunity to um provide the right infrastructure for the growth of the community if and when it's needed um so council members on if you have any other additional feedback but that's kind of the high level Overview at this
point I think you nailed it essentially we're just trying to be as forward-looking as possible in respects to what the needs are for the city I think you all witnessed tremendous growth and demand for the properties in this area uh we we look back 10 15 20 years of what the city sewer system has done for this community now we look at
that same concept for the city water exuberant cost albe it we are still trying to be as diligent as possible so the northern half of this property makes most sense for us it's actually the highest point in the city of nisah conveniently next to a water park but uh the southern portion is still as of
right now not in the target of the city of nisah so this path by Mr Mills I think is own parcel City proposal is it the entire northern half it is neither one of these
two Parcels it is yeah it's not either one of these it's it's it's north of these Parcels yes at the intersection well close to the intersection of Highway 371 and County Road 77 South to where the entrance to where that flea market
you're were mentioning is at so essentially that's not part 60 71 Acres 71.8 Acres so Chris so yeah about that yeah I'd be happy to bring up the map me
one moment so if you if you know where Sportland bait is so south of that north of that and then to the West hi Mary jatland I live on Old Government Trails seasonal resident but involved up here um first of all I
commend the city for their forward-thinking approach to long-term infrastructure because I think historically it's kind of been a Band-Aid approach um and so I want to go on record saying I think that's great I
think the use of City infrastructure at that corner is wonderful because it's a low density activity um as opposed to a Cabella or palanan land or something of that nature um if you're talking about
you know water tower lift systems and you know whether it's a hockey rink or something it's you're not talking about high density so I think that that's good I think we I think we all support that um and the improvements to NES
infrastructure um I I do want to go on record personally about the safety um I observed the immediate aftermath of the fatal accident on Memorial Day my husband r rear ended at the intersection
of 77 and 371 within the last 10 days and the same day I observed a car accident right in front of me with a young schaer employee Crossing from Stonewood the bank over to schafers and I don't think she could see
because cars were backed up Crossing 371 and that was a bad accident but they just just hit in a way that wasn't as bad as it could have been but um you know I I think we have all talked about um our concerns and to the degree that
as neighbors we can be helpful to the city whether it's petitions or information with mindat um we are happy to do that and to be a voice of neighbors with this and then just as it
relates to you know future development yes this property all sits next to 371 and it's highway but it also sits next to Lake property and so there's both and I feel like so much of the conversation
has been focused on Highway 371 but the back side of it is Lake property that you're happy to tax us a lot of money for so that was my comments thank you I liveed right across the bay from
if all of you live on Old Government Trail I live right across the bay from you all I'm four or five houses down from home and point I understand the same concept that you guys go through on a daily basis getting in and out of their tall timers is really no different but going down through the the the
the what is that road even called where the Culver's at um bike trail we'll call it and going down to your neck of the woods there it's it's a beautifully preserved area and I acknowledge that fully but I think we've again I'll reiterate we've seen the demographic change in this area you see Baxter the
development boom there I don't want you to think that this city is trying to open the floodgates for complete TurnKey development it's the same notion of trying to preserve this area as well as prohibit growth but is modest and Bethany and Jenny and the rest of this commission they do their job as
diligently as possible try to protect what you all invest in that you pay high taxes and and thank croan County for a bulk of it not just us but on that notion I want you all understand I feel your pain too I want to be able to see this area try to be preserved as long as
possible that storm in 2015 we still have Open Fields down Tall Timbers my parents property and my own now too so um I think I think all of your concerns are definitely heard and are not forgotten through the process of even a highway development project like this so
safety is of the highest concern right now especially because it's at everybody's top of mind so um again please note that this is a recommendation whatever decision the committee makes it will then go to the council and the rest of my city council
members in two weeks time so your voice can again be heard there the same process would have to be followed but there are no time limit so there's no like if once it's reson you have to wait there's no waiting period so if somebody were to purchase the property um they are allowed to reone
much like anyone else you know from what I see on the property and you look at the Contour is back in this piece especially the South piece it's going to be very difficult to develop that piece of property because of the drainage problems and and the
slopes and and the wetlands but uh uh just cuz something is zoned it's if it's rezoned Highway business uh somebody wanted to come in there and still build multi family or town homes or something and that still could be done is that
correct you can back let me I don't think that would this resoning it would preclude that type of use in Highway business you could do you could do dwellings uh Triplex and
quad residential and a PUD you can do dwelling units Above So for commercial use um you can do that um single family residential homes would be prohibited though which should that I mean I guess it'd be request for rezoning if that
it'd be going the other direction but that could happen too would that be resoning or well resoning yeah for a house for houses not an ideal place for single family
homes but you know could be rezoned again and yep planned unit developments mixed use is an allowed use with a conditional use perly okay y so it doesn't preclude a lot of the other present you know development that could happen in there so
I would also note that in comparison to some of the other cities in the area like Brainard and Baxter niswa has a very strict zoning ordinance um and then if somebody were to come through the process we can if you're a concern as buffer strips as a
committee we can have that a condition like if they say this well we want you to do this this and this um in terms of wetland whenever you do anything with Wetlands it has to be delineated by a state delineator so they'll come in and they'll flag um where the Wetland
delineation is to make sure it's protected so especially with commercial property then we have to do Swip plans where we're we're we're making sure where all the water runoff is going so it's it's it's a very complicated process if somebody were to come forward with a plan it's not just oh it's commercial put it in whatever you want
that's not how it works so and there requirements to speak to your point there are buffer requirements for any commercial especially when there's commercial next to Res residential there are um heightened um buffer requirements either through vegetation or um fencing
or or something is it correct that any development is there's conditions you you put like like in backer for example if it's an allowed use you can just do it but in niswa if I'm correct depends on the application depends on what's
being proposed um but anything that would be um has a potential to be conditioned that's a very fairly standard that's been my my experience has been almost every development which gives the city a lot more leeway and ability to work with residents they won't just they'll find that compromise
at that time I mean just an example to throw it in the past we've had people that wanted to build apartments and it's not that we don't want Apartments but we have a height ordinance and for them to get above a second story to get cash flow off a third floor they can't do it so
then it went somewhere else so that's just an example right do have any other questions for Chris no so I guess the I think we hit on a lot of the concerns that we were talking about uh
is there any Chris is there anything you wanted to add I think I think you all did a good job explain everyone com
city sense AR on both sides yeah okay well if there's no other questions comments I'll consider a motion I would move that we recommend to
the mayor and city council approval of uh zoning map Amendment application 01324 from uh uh to highway from Urban residential you are present to Highway business HB
zoning Gary I'll second that motion all those in favor I I all those opposed motion carries all right next item is variance applic 01424 to obtain setback variances for the expansion of an existing deck the
construction of a screen porch and for the placement of a storage ship the subject property is located at 25418 Roy Lane PID 281 z559 applicant owner Dean and Gail Frolic they
just you're losing your audience I'm sorry what's the deal they're all here to learn about the deck so I'm Dean prolic as you said 25418 Roy Lane I have um hold on hold on well Bethany your staff report on that
thank you um variance 1424 uh deaning Gail Frolic are requesting uh variance to expand on a legal existing non-conforming deck um an expansion that also includes a screen
porch under the existing deck a variance uh from the structure setb uh for a 7 foot setb where 10 ft is required to bring the property into compliance for the existing uh non-conforming deck and then a variance uh from other setbacks for a twoot structure to structure
setback where 10 ft is required for the placement of a 10 by 14t storage shed okay name address and then kind of give us a brief overview of what you're here so Dean from 25418 Roy Lane
niswa um what else did you say uh just a brief what your planning what your plans are all right as as she said I mean she's kind of Bethany has basically delineated what we're trying to accomplish here um
we've been residents at our place on Roy Lane for almost 21 years and kind of gradually seen the decline of the existing Decks that we have so it's time to replace them um and as it sits um
property as as described is legal but non-conforming and uh we would just like to make these changes so that we can um better enjoy the property I guess and and try to make use of it even though
it's not placed ideally um on the the house isn't placed ideally on the property according to the current survey so um we would like to uh expand the deck slightly across the front by two feet on
the lake side so that we can have a total of four feet in width across one area so we can get totally around the whole place um which would allow potentially for wheelchair use for family or hopefully not self at some
point but you never know um we'd like to add um a screen porch underneath the deck um a portion of it um on the existing P patio surface um and then as long as we were in this process felt that we could use a little bit more
storage in our garage space um so that's why we're uh requesting the experience for the setback um for a storage shed right next to the existing garage okay I'm assuming we have no one here that would like to make public
comment no okay all right do we have any questions for him I've got just a couple comments and I was out and visited the site and met with your wife the other day a couple days ago and it just happened to be U uh
the improvements that I see are necessary you know you're you're dacking and your your log retaining walls are starting to yep go so I mean those things have to be replaced so I have no problem at all with any of the what you're improving or what you're
proposing uh I know there's always a consideration of drainage for these sites when you're doing something and the day I was out there was just the day after that Gully washer the night before of the you know
I mean it really rained yep and uh you could see that they there's a pretty it's very steep going from your house down to the lake right you know there's you'd think that there'd be erosion going down that Hill that but there's
none that could see right and uh it looks to me like all of the the water that comes in your driveway is about half the way in your driveway it's kind of humps like this so then it drains to the lake and then drains back to the road the water that's coming down your driveway apparently looks to me like it
hits those Boulders that you've got in between the driveway and the in the house there correct and that water splashes or drains over that and it looks like it puddle it pools in the backyard before it drains out so um I was kind of surprised that that that your grade going down to the lake from
the house I was there was no sign of erosion at all so um I you know looking at I don't know if we require Water Management plan for this for what he's doing or not but I the existing impervious uh percentage on this
property does require not only a storm water plan or storm water um plan but also storm water plan with uh buffer so we've been working together he's already submitted his storm Water Management plan um he even sent me a picture of what you described okay um and so we've
been working with that um I do have to say and I would like to say for the record that he has a wonderful Shoreline um they you talked about the lack of erosion they have maintained um a very excellent Shoreline and a steep slope um with proper vegetation um and minimal
change to their Shoreline yeah I was surprised you even had any grass left after that rain night before because it was really horrible but there was a lot of creepy Charlie yeah but just my comments on on the site visit
so any other questions okay so as a part of a variance application I have to go through uh these separate questions that we answer as a group and then we'll we'll follow along here you can lump all the requests there are four you can lump all of them together if you want
otherwise you'll need to go through them however you wish you can put two and two together or you can do whatever you wish I think we can lump them okay all right uh is the variance in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance and comprehensive plan the applicant
answered yes all the proposals are consistent with the single family residence on a single family residential lot I would agree yes yes okay yes is a property owner proposing to use a property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the city of niswa code of ordinances yes aex the deck on the side yard serves as a main entrance to the home reducing the size of the current deck creates a hardship and is Impractical moving the sidewalk closer to the existing autum Blaze maple would risk damage to the healthy tree the least obtrusive and
most logical location to place a 10x14 shed is on the north side of the existing garage the best and most logical location for screen porches below the deck on the east side of home using the existing paer surface I would agree because you're not adding to any uh impervious coverage as well
so do we all agree with that yes very good comments yes thank you three is a need for the variance due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the property owner applicant answered yes the existing structure home deck sidewalk is legal non-conforming property the deck and sidewalks are
riding need to be replaced for safety concerns since the existing decks and dwelling are within the setback and only way to replace them is with a variance partiel is regularly shaped and the home was not originally placed in an ideal location respect to the lot layout is currently surveyed and I'd also like to add that uh you would be improving a lot
of the brainage concerns as well uh with your with your plan so I would say that was a plus two do we agree with that yes yes all right will the issuance of the variance maintain the essential character of the locality uh there is no practical impact of the neighbors or the neighborhood the
area is Zone residential is single family lakes or housing the proposed changes are consistent with existing properties in the area which have decks sidewalks and sheds and I would also add that you're improving the look and the feel of your home and with the additions and so it should be a net positive for
the area neighborhood do we agree with that yes okay number five uh does the need for the variant involve more than economic considerations uh the area already has an existing debt we want to increase our enjoyment of the Lakeside deck and use
it appropriately for the setting the changes will allow for wheeler access to the Lakeside deck if needed for family or personal structure was built when setbacks were different than currently are ow and dwelling was not placed on the property in an optimal location to meet the current requirements and needs screen porsch variants requ requests to
create a bug free zone to enjoy Minnesota I would I hardly agree with that one the mosquitoes have not been good this year um but yes I would say it's it's um safety considerations as well as well as economic so do we agree
with that yes yes okay any other pertinent findings that we can add no I was out there too and everything seems to make sense to what he's okay doing so do we need to make any specific um questions regarding the spe the four
different things or do you think we covered that sorry you can just make the motion based on the four variance requests if you go through them um and the requests are written under the application information right here
okay whoever wants to make that motion do you have that in front of them I'll make the motion okay make a motion that we approve the variance application 014 d24 to obtain setback for expansion of existing deck construction of the
screen porch and for the placement of a storage shed on the subject proper to located at 25418 Roy Lane according to facts and findings staff there you
go amazing and the variance for the existing non-conforming deck to bring that into yes and that too didn't see that in here second motion first and
second all those in favor I I all is opposed motion carries good luck in your project all right thank you very much it's a long process but it makes a lot of sense yeah okay the the surveys provide some surprises in life D unfortunately yes
that's that was definitely a surprise both to myself and our neighbor so but we'll figure it out thank you uh next item conditional use permit application 01524 to obtain a conditional use permit for the operation of a restaurant within
the highway business zoning District the subject property is located at 23836 Smiley Road P 282 823 0509 applicant Roundhouse Brewery owner conductor Holdings LLC my name is Mark Lia and I am
co-owner of roundhouse Brewery hopefully these decisions get easier as the night was on right thank you Bethany your staff report thank you conditional use Perman application 1524 um roundhouse Brewery is looking
and seeking and after the fact conditional use permit for the operation of a restaurant um they have been operating a restaurant for a while they were not aware that they needed to update their cup they acted in good faith and require or and obtained all necessary State um requirements uh they

hopeful I know um other area cities are doing the same thing too uh just people like to have the option to have chickens um and it's it's great until it's a problem I suppose and um you know that's why we have those performance standards is so that you know that we're all playing the same
rules yeah yep there people that have had chickens for years at some places are they grandfathered in so they don't the our CH our ordinances are no they're not required to upgrade to current standards or anything um but
for anybody that would have chickens in Nisa right now they would be in um osr which is open space residential they're allowed to have a lot of chickens they can have um a lot more chickens they can have animals and um animal husbandry um agricultural activities can happen on
