Hello all. In answer to above there is no clause for educational purposes. However, we did get an ordinance passed this past summer. It is a fairly restrictive ordinance but for the meantime will suffice. The city is not very happy with me nor are the code enforcement folks......but my girls...

Thanks. I just feel bad because I really didnt think he was bothered by this because he has pretty much done his chicken chores everyday begrudgeningly (sp?). We have had so many life lessons with these chickens. This experience is not replaceable. Even, as I expect, we loose the appeal...

Well today is Tuesday the 12th. At 6:45pm tonight the City of Sanford Housing board of Appeals meets over my appeal regarding the ordinance citation. I filed the appeal to gain some time before being fined, although I have no grounds for the appeal. I suspect that they quickly assembled a...

Em: Yes you may want to check on the voting policy. It was explained to me to be a part of the Parliamentary procedure, to keep one or two folks from wasting city council time by repeatedly bringing up an issue. As for not asking for a vote I feel as if I have a better chance working behind...

Tonight was National Night out and two council members showed up. Mr. Mann tried to avoid me but I overheard him talking to some of my neighbors about the chickens. He kept saying that he grew up with chickens on Lee ave but times have changed. He is steadfast in his no vote. Then Joe Martin...

you all have really kept me going! I have started another way to communicate this topic. I would really appreciate it if you could leave comments on this bog and push it to your friends and family, even if they are not into chickens. Our fight here encompasses economics, educatio, health...

Hey JMB.....are you a lawyer? Thanks for your input. All very valid points. Bad news.....the folks in Cary did not get the votes. Check this out. http://www.newsobserver.com/politics/story/1154668.html

Quote: Thank you!!!! But the first thing I noticed was that is was discussing "Rural" versus "Urbarn." Do I need to look further?

Quote: Yes you are right. Isn't it contradictory? I dont think I will win my Aug 15 appeal based on their own ineptitude though.

Thanks for the comments: Two things! Next year is an election year for the Mayor and 3 councilmenbers. Also, the unique thing about this situation is there is NO, repeat, NO higher place to go. There is no provision in the Sanford Charter that allows for a ballot initiative.......California...

Hey gang! I need some of you to please go to the Raleigh News and Observer and leave comments on the article. They will see that there is still an interest in this topic. Also, I am trying to put together another icaught spot and will need you to go leave comments for that. To...

Hey gang! Isn't the code silly! Anyway, bad news on two fronts. It appears our local newspaper, Sanford Herald, has blacked out anything regarding this issue, despite the fact that the editor agreed to have a beer with me this past Monday. I have heard nothing from him since Monday and he...

Hey all: SeaChick: Let me know when that article is posted so I can get a copy of it. Wake Forest folks: Thank you for the advice.....I have already done that for them. First I gave them samples of code from 5 other towns....that seem to confuse them. So I took parts from all of them and...
