I read about this after the council meeting and sadly, I do not think it would do anything besides add another hurdle to the process. The council has already voted that regardless of facts or recommendations, they have no intention of passing this measure. The CIRC seems to be little...

* Lol!!! AH! Mr. Hyatt- Does that mean if the Manfre's come back asking for the right to raise chickens in their basement that they could look forward to an approval?? Could be done. . . We have had more than one member raise a few birds indoors. Even one I am aware of fairly recently...

* Tracking "us", you mean BYC down??? Hardly think we've been in hiding, Mr. Hyatt. Nearly 14,OOO people signed on before you did. Also, the insinuation that we consider chickens on a level with African-Americans and women is low. We do, however, tend to consider THE RAISING OF...

Forgetting for the moment that backyard chickens and "modern ways and trends" is rather humorous to say the least, the Manfre's went about it in exactly the right way. I honestly feel bad that newlyweds are having to go through such an ordeal. It's not a good way to start a new life...

I understand that people should do their homework before moving to an area, but it is the citizen's right to try to change the rules if the change is needed. I remember the time women and blacks were not allowed to vote. If you equivocate the two situations you...

* Interesting rebuttals; anti-chicken, anti-democratic, anti-native american, anti-woman, anti-growth, anti-personal independance!!! Hmmm, and somehow, so very UN-surprising.
Actually I don't care one way or the other for chickens. I didn't like them roaming the streets in Key West...

That's hilarious Frantz with a housekeeper is one of the funnier things I've heard in years If you mean the environment isn't the only thing on his mind, I'm sure you're quite correct.

Absolutely. And I have the right to try and keep the laws just as they are. You can't take that away from me either. Your "jack-boot politics" comment was out of line.

Don, It is condescending, close-minded, uninformed people like you who are making the decisions, not the people of Cary. The majority haven't had the chance to give their opinion on this issue yet, and the ones who have were mostly in support of the issue. I hope the lackadaisical...

Councilman Smith's correct in terms of the zoning's intention. However, that is not the current law as you obviously already know - and that's what really matters. I can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that land will not be rezoned to R-40 because R-40 is already the lowest...

Good luck with that. And I don't get any ad revenue. It's all volunteer and I speak for the vast majority, you'll just have to trust me on this.
I'd like to make something very clear to all of you. Councilman Frantz and the others who voted against wasting our town staff's time are reflecting the will of their constituents. We do not want chickens, goats, bee hives, etc... in our family friendly neighborhoods. Most of us aren't...
