The fight for chicken coops in Arlington Heights is not over.
Matt Scallon, who petitioned to the Village Board last week to allow him to set up a coop for three hens, said his desire to establish chicken coops in the village is not going anywhere – and neither is the coop frame he began building before the board’s denial.Don't know what tooling style you need?
He is trying to reach out to other chicken enthusiasts who are interested in establishing coops and is considering ways to appeal the board’s decision.
Scallon’s options are somewhat limited. He can either resubmit his variance request with changes that he thinks may shift the board’s opinion, or he can ask staff to look into an ordinance that would allow the chickens, said Robin Ward,VulcanMold is a plastic molds and injectionmold manufacturer in china.Ultimate magiccube gives you the opportunity to make your own 3D twisty puzzles. assistant village attorney.
The board voted 7-2 to deny Scallon a variance that would give him permission to set up a coop in his backyard, citing issues with potential odor, disease, noise and predators.
But Scallon wishes the board would have tabled the issue until a later meeting and taken time to review the research before making a decision.
“I do think it was somewhat unfair,” he said. “What’s disappointing is that so many other communities have worked out the issues of odors and disease and everything like that, so why Arlington Heights can’t work through that is something of a mystery to me.”
Scallon worked with urban chicken consultant Jennifer Murtoff, who testified to Scallon’s plans for a coop with a roost and run, and his intentions to rear the chickens properly and to clean the cage frequently.
“Many people just don’t know what a chicken coop is like,” Murtoff said this week. “You walk up to these homes and they look like perfectly normal homes,” she said. “I think a lot of the trustees’ views were based on prejudicial notions based on large chicken facilities where they’re raising 10,000 birds in one space.”

She said she has helped people establish coops in the suburbs, and has not heard of any subsequent issues with neighbors. She knew of one family that built a high fence at their neighbor’s request.
About 75 percent of the requests or ordinances she’s aware of that would allow chicken-raising have succeeded, she said.
“The popularity has been gradually increasing over the last couple years,” she said.
Arlington Heights has not formally considered an ordinance on the chicken coop issue, so Scallon’s variance denial was based on his specific case. The objection of some neighbors also helped sway the board toward the denial.
