POTSDAM â Without comment, the Village Board of Trustees approved an ordinance that allows village residents to keep chickens.
A similar ordinance failed in 2011. Another in July of 2020 was rejected and sent back to the planning board to be simplified.
There are a number of provisions to the ordinance that was passed Monday afternoon.
No more than six chickens will be allowed for each property, renters must have authorization from property owners, coops or cages must be at least 25 feet from neighborsâ doors and windows and five feet from property lines, and hens must be in a coop or cage that has adequate protection from weather and predators.
The boardâs next meeting is at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Massena Town Hall.
âThe Village Board of Trustees meetings, including the Village of Massena Zoning Board of Appeals and Village of Massena Planning Board, will also continue to offer attendance virtually, via Zoom, for those who wish to attend remotely,â Village Administrator Monique N. Chatland said in a news release.
Those who attend the in-person sessions will need to adhere to the current New York state guidelines of face masks, and appropriate social distancing will be required.
Ms. Chatland said village officials will continue to adjust requirements as state and federal guidelines are updated. Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has lifted requirements for indoor mask wearing by those who are fully vaccinated, New York has not yet followed suit.
