Farm Animal Regulation and Neighborhood Impact

The neighbor reported seeing rats running between his yard and the applicant's yard and expressed frustration with the noise and smell.

The neighbor stated that the rats are a major health issue for his grandchildren and pets and that the animals are too close to his home.

A local goat owner argued that the applicant is doing a good job and that farm animals are an important educational opportunity for children.

The neighbor stated that the noise and smell prevent her from using her backyard and that there has been no effective communication from the applicant.
