Amendment of The Ordinance Prohibiting Chickens in Brunswick, Maryland |
To: The Mayor & City Council of Brunswick, MDWhereas, cities across America are realizing the many benefits of urban chicken ownership and changing their ordinances accordingly;
Whereas, during a time of severe economic crisis and world-wide oil shortages, backyard urban chicken rearing provides an economical source of healthy protein for citizens;
Whereas, the keeping of backyard chickens makes a highly positive impact on the solid waste stream, county-wide recycling efforts, and the unnecessary use of chemical fertilizers in urban gardens;
Whereas, a well-kept coop regulated by ordinances poses no threat to city sanitation or the health of our citizens;
Whereas, a well-crafted town ordinance can adequately address all concerns such as noise, number, setbacks and registration; banning roosters and ensuring that specific guidelines are in place to protect all;
We, the undersigned citizens of Brunswick, MD hereby request that the city council amend the current ordinance, Section 3-1202, to allow for the ownership of 4-6 laying hens within Brunswick limits.
Sincerely,
