DATE:    August 3, 2026 
 
At its regularly scheduled meeting on July 28, 2026, the Planning Board reviewed the referral 
from the Village Board regarding Local Law Introductory 10 of 2026. 
 
The Planning Board stated that the draft local law was written to clarify the existing law by 
outlining what is permitted, including the number of animals and the minimum lot size for 
certain animals.   
 
The Planning Board would like to point out that the way the draft local law is written, in certain 
zoning districts in the Village, the setback regulations would allow you to have an accessory 
dwelling unit, but not a chicken coop.  In certain zoning districts, for example RA-5, it would be 
hard to achieve the setback that would allow for a chicken coop.
