Century Moving Foward With Barnyard Animal Regulations
November 17, 2013
The Century Town Council is moving forward with an ordinance to deal with barnyard animals in the town limits.
Under the ordinance, it will be illegal to keep a horse, mule, donkey, goat, sheep, or cow within the town limits except in areas that are zoned agricultural or rural residential. Hogs are already prohibited in all areas of the town.
The ordinance set minimum lot sizes in the agricultural and rural residential areas in order to keep livestock. A minimum lot size of one acre per horse or donkey will be required, and a minimum lot size of one-half acre per goat will also be required.
Structures for livestock, such as barns, feed lots and stables, shall not be located within 200 feet of a dwelling belonging to another individual or within 200 feet of property that is zoned residential. In addition, all barnyard animals and livestock must be kept at least 200 feet from any property line.
The Century Town Council will hold a required first reading of the ordinance during their regular meeting tonight. A second reading and a public hearing will be held on December 2 before the council votes on making it law. Both meetings are open to the public at 7 p.m.
