Answer: No, per Ordinance 83. There have been several requests to the City Council to review and consider chickens. In December 2020, the City Council upon advice from the City Attorney agreed to retain the current Ordinance with no changes. The decision is based on several factors, first an Environmental Study would have to be completed with estimated cost of 20K. Secondly the Environmental Study would likely recommend against allowing chickens due to potential wastewater runoff especially into the main lake that is one source of drinking water in Linn Valley. The City received Federal grant money for the for the low-pressure grinder pump system to protect the lakes and future (water and wastewater) projects are dependent on obtaining additional Federal grant money to support the growth of Linn Valley.
