As residents of North Hill Avenue, Howe Road, Fuller Brook Avenue, and Mackintosh Avenue, we are opposed to the proposed chicken coop at 1560 Great Plain Avenue. Our neighborhood abuts North Hill and Conservation/Wetlands where known chicken predators live and have been seen throughout the neighborhood. We are concerned that the presence of these predators will increase if a chicken coop is allowed. This will create an unsafe and unhealthy environment for our families and pets.
We are concerned about a potential negative effect on our property values and the marketability of our neighborhood.
Last but not least, we are concerned that chicken predators could also make their way to the Newman Elementary School fields and playground.
I am very worried about chicheks attracting cyotes and other wildlife which already are in and around our neighborhood. this land abuts the land next to Newman School. What would we do if one small child was hurt by a cyote. Are frewesh eggs worth that risk. Also where does all the fecal waste go in the ewet lands?
