HARBORING AND RAISING OF CHICKENS APPLICATION CITY OF EUREKA, MISSOURI

I, , hereby make application to engage in the harboring and raising of chickens within the City of Eureka. Proposed address of activity:

Chickens may be harbored and raised as pets in the City on a lot only within single-family residential zoning districts subject to the following restrictions as set forth in Ordinance No. 2148:

A. Only chicken hens may be kept - no roosters. B. The minimum lot area on which such activity may take place is ten thousand (10,000) square feet, except as approved by the Board of Aldermen. C. Chicken coops must be situated a minimum of fifty (50) feet from any dwelling unit, with the exception of that of the owner. D. No more than six (6) chicken hens may be kept on a single lot. E. Chicken hens must be kept in a fenced enclosure which must remain in a clean, dry and odor-free condition at all times, however, they need not be kept in a fenced enclosure when under the direct supervision of the owner on the owner's property.

F. All chicken hens and eggs raised by an individual on their lot may only be used for their and their family's personal enjoyment and consumption.

As is the case with many regulations, when applicable, subdivision indentures may be more restrictive than City ordinances; therefore, it is recommended that the applicant seek subdivision approval prior to filing this application. If the applicant is not the owner of the property on which such activity is proposed, written authority from the owner must be provided. The permit application must be accompanied by a scaled plan of the subject property depicting lot dimensions, proposed coop location and the proximity of said coop to adjacent dwelling units on surrounding parcels. A City of Eureka Building Inspector will inspect the subject property to ensure initial compliance and may enter the property at any future date to ensure continued compliance. I do hereby acknowledge that I have read the above and fully understand and agree to comply with all application provisions. If in the event I am not in compliance with these provisions, at such time the City may revoke my application and I will no longer be permitted to harbor chickens.
