NORTH KINGSVILLE — Residents have told North Kingsville’s Planning Commission that they don’t want rules regarding barns and livestock inserted into the village’s zoning code, council members learned at Wednesday’s meeting.
Councilman Edward Rettinger reported that residents who attended a recent commission meeting made it clear they prefer that all barn-related regulations stay where they are: under the village codified code.
“Most people don’t want it in zoning,” Rettinger said. “They also want some teeth in the ordinance, so there’s plenty of room for animals.”
Prompting the concern was a woman’s request to rewrite the village law that keeps barns at least 400 feet from neighboring dwellings. Kelli Brown wanted the law changed so she could construct a barn for her horse and two ponies closer to her home. Earlier this month, council rejected the idea.
Afterward, Brown said she would pursue a change via North Kingsville’s zoning code. Brown did secure council’s permission to place her horses, which had been kept outdoors in a small temporary pasture, inside a nearby building for 45 days until a permanent barn is constructed.
Rettinger said residents’ requests for tougher livestock-related legislation will be forwarded to council’s law and ordinance committee.
