Greetings,
I am feeling like I have joined the party when everyone is just about to pick up coats and drive away. I just found out today, about the township coucil meeting to discuss the master plan an the opportunity to take up the chicken issue. A month late!
I am very interested in supporting developments in the Ypsi township laws regarding chickens. I am a life long self-stainablity enthusiast, I have kept chickens before I moved to Michigan and would love to keep chickens again. I was very disappointed to learn of the specifics of the chicken ban under 5 acres right after I purchased my home in Ypsilanti township. I have quite a great scheme for hoop house, chicken coop and vermiculture system I would like to install. Unfortunately, I need to help my fellow Ypsilanti chicken lovers to change the ordinances down at the town hall.
Can anyone give me a run down on who has been active on this subject? I would love to meet with some folks if an established proposal has been written.
Otherwise, I am looking for introductions to anyone in the area that knows how to instruct this chick on lobbying my local township council for the changes.
Thanks,
RS
