I didn't actually grow up there. They are on the Bolton line. My mom and stepdad moved there when I was 18, I stayed in Waterbury with my now dh. We grew up in Wolcott and only lived in Waterbury for a couple of years. Now we are back in Wolcott. I do like it up there though.

Hi Connecticut:
Is anyone on here from Vernon? If so there is an important Planning meeting coming up on May 19th to hopefully approve some new rules on keeping chickens. The proposed rule will allow up to 12 hens...no roosters with setbacks from property lines of 10 feet, 25 from any street, and 15 from any residence. The proposed rules can be read at the Town Planners office and they are very reasonable. The current regulations are silent on the keeping of poultry and the Town interprets them as they are not allowed. I reviewed the file on the proposed rules at the Town Hall yesterday and there are only letters against the rule change. There are no letters of support.
Admittedly it could be argued in an appeal that the code is also silent about the keeping of dogs and cats and therefore by allowing them but not poultry the Town's application of the rules is capricious. But it's a risk....it's much better in my opinion to have a clear rule on the books. We need to get some support for it though by writing in letters of support and attending the hearing on the 19th at the Town Hall at 6:30 pm. The support letters need to be sent to Leonard Tundermann, Town Planner at Town Hall, 14 Park Place, Vernon, CT 06066.... please get them there by at least the 14th so they can be included in the Board's information packets. I am getting together at least two petitions at this point and talking with everyone I can find in Vernon to write in letters of support but the more the better. And we need residents to speak up at the hearing on the 19th. If you are a resident of Vernon interested in keeping poultry, we need to act now. Please write in to the Town Planner and come to the hearing on the 19th. Feel free to Pm me for more information. Thank you.

I hope you find fellow chicken keepers in your town to help! Have you contacted your CT Bureau office? They may be able to help you.
Good luck!
