Subject: Winneconne-Omro Trail
Linda –
I have started reaching out to engineering firms to get a price on estimating the cost and timeline for
such a project. I have also listed out all of the property owners that we would need to be property for
the old rail line to be our trail base. Finally, my question to you would be if you would mind if I reach out
to these property owners to determine their willingness to sell said property for a designated multi-use
trail between our communities? If we get responses from the property owners that indicate no way,
then we can move forward with other options, but it may be a good idea to find that out early.
As we have discussed, I think this sort of a project would be key for our communities in order to become
more connected and to create destinations for people to visit. Plus, our residents would have more
recreation opportunities that they would enjoy.
Let me know your thoughts and enjoy the weekend.

Hi Mitch!
I don’t believe this has been a discussion except during the comprehensive plan (briefly). Our attorney
has some very strict rules about talking to property owners about land acquisition. It has to be very
informal, if I remember right, or you are opening the door for eminent domain issues. I would need to
have further internal discussions with him and the council before answering this.
What part are you imagining the town or the county playing in this?

Subject: RE: Winneconne-Omro Trail
My hope is that the two communities would agree on the need for a trail and that we could tacitly agree
to some sort of funding for the planning of the project. From that point, we could take this to the group
working on the Ped/Bike plan for the county as well as to the Town and see what sort of a joint project
we could get together.
This would be such a game-changing project that it would benefit all of us for quite some time.

The words eminent domain scare everyone so we would make sure that it would be strictly informal.

Fence ordinance request: Amy & Scott Harper of 525 Jefferson Avenue
and James Reed of 533 Jefferson Avenue spoke in favor of allowing a 6’
fence in the sideyard. They stated that there used to be an 8’ shrub all
the way to the sidewalk with no issues at their location. They cited
safety for kids and animals as well as privacy issues. Brett Ellis of Ellis
Fence, 1747 Justin Drive, stated that Oshkosh allows a 4’ fence with 50%
open in the first 10‘ of the front lot and with privacy for the next 15’ as
well as the 6’ privacy fence in the side yard. He recommends the 4’
fence for safety for children and animals. A class 2 public hearing will
be held due to the change to the zoning code.

Design Criteria for
Future Road
Construction
Mike Laue of MSA presented planning documents that laid out options
for future streets. Information included street types, curbing, storm
sewer vs. ditching, rural vs. urban, widths recommended by DOT, etc.
Prices for basic finishing (excluding landscaping, water & sewer,
driveways, etc.) was also provided for reference. Mike stated that the
typical concrete street lasts 25 years and blacktop only 10-15. If you
add curb and gutter, blacktop streets tend to last another 10 years. All
streets require maintenance such as crack filling for both types and
sealing blacktop.
Discussion on
Parking Restrictions
on Non-Paved
Surfaces
Herb Hellwig spoke about his concerns with parking on non-paved
surfaces in the community. He stated he is not concerned with the
antique tractor or whether they have 2 tires parked on the lawn. He is
concerned about car parked in the front yard. Herb stated he spoke to
the Mayor and the Mayor stated he does not want Omro to turn into a
police state. Herb indicated he doesn’t want it to look like rural
Mississippi either. He decided it was time to dump everything on the
table and feels we shouldn’t e operating the city based on if someone
complains.
Chief Reed: “If I was to go through every ordinance and enforce

everything, I would be in trouble, as would Herb. We deal with safety
first, as well as health, drug sales, burglars, and being proactive against
crime. To use the ordinance we need to know the effective date of the
zoning code vs. the issue. We use the common sense approach, we
don’t stop speeders for going 26 mph. The only one I have heard
complain is Herb. If someone wants to sell a personal vehicle, we allow
that. We allow construction vehicles as they need their equipment to
run their business and don’t have areas to park. There are places in
town that can’t even fit 1 car in the driveway. We react without
complaint to cars that don’t have the grass mowed under them, to junk
vehicles. Be prepared to hire 3 more officers to go through ordinances
if we do anything above and beyond.”
Herb indicated most of his concern lies with commercial properties.
Tom Dowling, Dowling Dental, 1771 E. Main Street, suggested we get rid
of the ordinances. “I don’t need a lawn Nazi telling me what to do with
my property.”
Tim Doolittle, 232 Adams, stated he did a survey of his area in 2006 and
70% of households had some type of vehicle or trailer in their yard. “I
will gravel my whole yard.”

An alderman had requested that allowing chickens in the city limits be
placed on the council agenda. Staff brought it to the Planning
Commission for further discussion. A list of questions to be addressed
was presented by Linda Kutchenriter. Enforcement issues and health
and noise concerns were discussed. Dave Treleven, 520 Waukau Road,
stated, “If you allow none, you have the problem solved.” John Steen,
822 E. River Drive, stated, “Chief Reed says he doesn’t need another
ordinance to go out and enforce. You would be opening a door you
don’t want to open. Bird flu could be a problem.”

Attachment: Chicken Questions information (1850 : Ordinance Draft from June 2015)
Why did the chicken cross the road in Omro? To avoid a conditional use permit. In order to provide an
ordinance on allowing chickens in the city limits, we need the Planning Commission to answer the
following questions.
8.1.c
Fort Collins requires each hen to have two square feet of space. The proposed change would bump
that up to four square feet per chicken. So while chickens themselves have not been a problem so
far, the precedent set by allowing them in the city has had a ripple effect.
"I would caution that this will lead to opening the door to other agricultural livestock," Porter said.
"Now, we're looking at goats within city limits — potbelly pigs. But chickens are a non-issue."
Chickens are expensive to care for.
Pastured eggs are so expensive at the store, you think you'll save money by raising them yourself.
Indeed, hatchery chicks cost only a few bucks apiece, and they'll eat just about any food you give
them. But there are other costs. "Chickens attract flies, bird mites and lice, mice, yard birds,
squirrels, raccoons, dogs, coyotes, fox, mink, opossum, rats, owls, bobcats, hawks, snakes,
weasels, ferrets, fishers, martens, and vandals," says Britton Clouse. Also, a vet visit for a sick bird
starts at $50, assuming the vet even knows how to handle chickens.
Setting up a coop with maintenance, tools, cleaning equipment, heating and cooling appliances,
dishes, nets, food storage, a scale, fencing, security locks, lighting, motion detectors, monitors,
cameras, and a city permit to make sure the whole thing is legal costs about $5,000. Food, bedding,
supplements, utilities, and vet care cost about $300 more per bird, Britton Clouse says.
In a previous post, urban homesteader Jennifer Reese, author of Make the Bread, Buy the Butter,
estimated that after all of her chicken-keeping costs, she's spending $2.12 per pastured egg. You
could save on some of these costs, of course, by treating your chickens cruelly. Sadly, Britton
Clouse has seen chickens kept in freezing conditions, with missing toes from frostbite, or kept in tiny
coops no better than the battery cages.
Hens don't lay forever.
Humans have bred chickens to be egg machines. Wild hens produce a few clutches of eggs yearly
to replenish the flock, but starting at about six months, domesticated hens lay an egg daily. After
about 18 months, egg production slows down, and eventually stops.
That's when Chicken Run Rescue or Farm Sanctuary typically gets a call, or when the homesteader
kills the hen. Chickens can live for up to 15 years, same as a dog or a cat. Any homesteader serious
about being humane needs to ask herself this: Am I OK with being a retirement home for nonlaying
chickens? The chickens would surely prefer a yes.
How popular is raising backyard chickens?
“It’s not very popular,” said Drew Pennington, director of planning and building services for the city of Beloit, where
an ordinance allowing backyard chickens went into effect in January.
“It’s very popular,” said Sharon Hensen, humane officer for the city of Green Bay, which has been issuing permits for
backyard chickens for two years.
Packet Pg. 31
Sioux Falls does require that uneaten food is removed on a daily basis and feed stored outdoors
needs to be kept in a closed, weather-resistant container.
8.1.c
Pennington said he has been surprised by how few people applied for permits to have chicken coops in their yards.
Beloit’s ordinance limited the number of permits to 30 in the first year, but the city has only issued 10 or 11 permits.
Green Bay, on the other hand, has issued more than 50 permits, and Hensen said she expects neighboring suburbs to
follow Green Bay’s lead in allowing backyard chickens.
Hensen and Pennington were in agreement on one thing: There have been very few complaints about backyard
chickens.
“We expected a lot more,” said Pennington. “We fought the ordinance vehemently, but the Council approved it. We’ve
only received a handful of complaints.”
One of the complaints, he said, was because of a rooster, which the ordinance does not allow. Another was because
someone was keeping ducks, not chickens.
Hensen said she has only received two complaints, both of which involved chickens running loose.
Neither Hensen nor Pennington reported complaints about chicken coops smelling bad, which, according to letters to
the paper and my email, is the main fear people have about urban chickens.
The reason for that, I think, is more people are familiar with chicken farms than backyard chickens. Kenosha County
had a chicken farm that actually became famous for its smell. Neighbors complained that the Quality Egg Farm in
Bristol, which had 110,000 hens, was a nuisance that caused them personal discomfort and reduced their property
values.
In 1980 a county judge ordered the egg farm to reduce the odors, but the farm fought the order and the contempt
citations that followed. According to a story in the Wisconsin State Journal in 1983, the dispute prompted the passage
of a right-to-farm law that exempted farms in areas zoned for agriculture from being sued for creating nuisance
conditions.
The egg farm eventually lost its appeals and was forced to close in 1983, all because it smelled bad.
That’s what city folks like me know about egg farms, but egg farms and backyard chicken coops don’t have much in
common. People who want to have chickens in their yard are usually content with four. Some cities allow six or even
eight, but four is the number I see most often.
There is a big difference between four chickens and 110,000 chickens in terms of olfactory impact.
“I haven’t had any complaints on smell,” Hensen said. “People want healthy eggs, so they stay on top of their pens.”
Packet Pg. 32
If Kenosha allowed backyard chickens, it’s hard to say how many people would actually put a coop in the yard. The
Kenosha Backyard Chickens Facebook page has more than 100 “likes,” but some of them could be just spectators.
8.1.c
Village of Richfield
Posted on 04-29-2014
In the Village (generally speaking) 66% of the land uses allow for the
keeping and raising of chickens for personal consumption and enjoyment
as either a Conditional Use Permit or as an accessory use. But, in the
33% where it is not allowed are those areas in platted residential
subdivisions or where the acreage is less than 4ac.
We currently have a small contingent of residents who are interested in
abolishing our zoning restrictions regarding chickens and making them
permitted uses in all the Village's residential properties regardless of
subdivision covenants, lot size, etc.
Does anyone have any positive/negative feedback on these types of
"urban chickening" ordinances that they would be willing to share?
Thank you in advance for any currently adopted ordinances or anecdotal
information about successes or failures your community has
experienced.

We had a request to create an ordinance allowing chickens within the
Village last year (a complaint was filed regarding a property owner who
illegally had chickens which led to the ordinance proposal). We held a
public hearing regarding a proposed ordinance. While not many attended
the public hearing, those that did were living next to those who illegally
had chickens. They testified about odors and noise. Based on those
complaints the Village Board did not approve the Ordinance. I would add
that the Village Board also felt pretty strongly that chickens should not
be allowed in an urban setting. Interestingly, Stevens Point, which is
located immediately north of us, has passed an ordinance allowing a
limited number of chickens to be kept on residential property.

James, you might check ordinances in Appleton and Madison, which I
believe both allow keeping chickens in residential areas.
While in Iowa, the City of Cedar Rapids approved chickens in the
community (urban area over 120,000). I believe they allowed up to 6
birds and no roosters. For a controversial issue - they had no negative
impacts that was reported. The deed restrictions for newer developments
prohibited the land owners from having any kind of farm animal.
The issue is overblown. I also once thought chickens should not be in an
urban area - but they have less impact than a person with a noisy dog or
two. An ordinance that limits the number of birds and prohibits roosters the vocal character, seems to work.
Good Luck.

I recommend planning the passage of your multi-million dollar CIP or
budget on the same night you review the chicken ordinance. You can
count on a large group of "peep"le showing up for the public hearing.
Although in the case of River Falls, they all left right after the Council
voted against allowing chickens.
We have a draft ordinance allowing up to 4 birds, no roosters, etc...

Thank you very much for the wealth of information! This whole week I've

You might want to contact the City of Wauwatosa. They have an
ordinance regarding the keeping of chickens in residential areas.
Linda:
We have not had complaints, but it’s more likely because we have had only a couple of applicants. Our
ordinance contained a provision that required residents to get the sign off from all of their adjoining
neighbors. I can’t say for sure that this has resulted in people not applying for the permits, but we
aren’t getting them. Some people theorize that residents have gone “underground” with their

illegally housed chickens without a permit.
Hope this helps.

Diseases Caused by Chickens
Chickens can pass disease to humans. In particular, the
transmission of avian flu and bacteria are of great concern. Live
chickens can pass avian flu to humans and bacterial infections can
be transmitted through contact with the birds. Staph infections
and food poisoning can be contracted if proper food handling procedures are not followed.
Properly cooking chicken removes part of the risk but it does not remove all risk. Care should be
used when in contact with chickens.
1. Salmonella
Salmonella is the most common type of bacterial infection that humans can contract
from chickens. It is a normally occurring gut bacterium; however, when a chicken is kept
under stressful conditions the balance in the gut gets out of whack. Salmonella is passed
from chicken to egg during shell formation. It also resides within the chicken's body.
Safe food handling procedures minimize the risk.
2. Campylobacter Enteritis
Campylobacter enteritis is another bacteria that causes food poisoning in humans. It is
passed from chicken to human, usually through undercooked meat. This bacterium is
very susceptible to heat. Proper cooking temperatures and timing are extremely
important methods of keeping campylobacter enteritis under control.
3. Staphylococcus Aureus
Commonly referred to as a staph infection, staphylococcus aureus can be transmitted
from raw chicken to humans as well as from live chickens to humans. Once
staphylococcus aureus is contracted, humans can spread it to other humans as it is
highly contagious.
4. Avian Flu
This is a serious viral infection that has many people worried. Some medical
professionals feel that avian flu will be the next flu pandemic. There are two strains of
avian flu of particular concern. Both H7N7 and H5N1 are proven to pass from poultry to
humans. The first was noted in an outbreak back in 1997 in The Netherlands. Almost
100 individuals became infected with this virus as a result of direct contact with
chickens and poultry. The H5N1 is more recent. First identified in 2004, it remains a
worldwide concern.
5. Considerations
Current large-scale poultry farming practices are part of the problem associated with
disease transmission from chicken to humans. Raising chickens in extremely close
quarters is unhealthy and promotes the accelerated spread of disease. Reducing the
number of chickens per building and adhering to proper food-handling guidelines
greatly reduces the outbreaks of diseases passed from poultry to human.

Rules / Regulations
1. Don’t you need a rooster for a
hen to lay eggs?
A hen will produce unfertilized eggs
which are typical of the kind you would
find in a grocery store and contain the
same amount of nutritional value.
6. Do they need a lot of space?
Coops can fit into just about any
size backyard - you need roughly
36’ sq. ft. Typically for 4 hens, a
3’x4’ coop plus a “run” (space for
them to scratch around) that is 3’x8’
is adequate.
4. How long do chickens live?
Hens that are kept as pets typically
live up to 8-10 years.
7. Can they
survive
throughout the
winter?
Birds can get
frostbite too! Your
birds will live
happily through
winter though, if
you insulate their
coop or provide a
light inside. The smaller coop, the
easier it is for them to stay warm.
5. What do they eat?
Chickens eat anything! You can buy
commercial poultry seed from local
feed stores or create your own mix.
Chickens eat corn, oats, wheat, rye,
soy, worms, insects, fresh greens
(including weeds from your garden),
as well as table scraps. Diversity in
their diet is key to good health.
8. Will they be safe from cats,
dogs, and other animals?
As long as their coop is sturdy and
impenetrable, your chickens will be
safe. Make sure the structure has
an enclosed top, fencing buried
below ground, and secure latches
on all entryways. If you let your
birds out of their coop, keep them
under close supervision at all times!
2. Aren’t chickens smelly?
Just like with any other pet, they
require some care. The caretaker
must be responsible for cleaning out
dirty coop bedding, keeping it dry, and
providing clean, dry sand or dirt for the
birds to take dust baths in.
3. Do hens make a lot of noise?
A common misconception, only
roosters make loud noises, which is
why they aren’t allowed in many urban

settings. Hens will make soft clucking
sounds until they lay an egg, right
after (out of pride) they may squawk
for a few moments but then quiet back
down. They don’t act as an alarm
clock in the morning and are sound
asleep when the sun goes down.
