Re: Raising of Poultry in the City of Yelm
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Haywood,
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the raising of chickens is not permitted in
the City of Yelm. The City of Yelm recently received a complaint about the penning of
chickens in your back yard.
The City of Yelm's Zoning Regulations are in force because you live in an urban
environment. The outdoor keeping of animals such as cats and dogs is reasonably
allowed under our zoning laws. The keeping of chickens is not for health, noise and
sanitary conditions.
Please within the next 15 days remove the chickens from your property. If 1 can be of
help or answer any questions please feel free to contact me at 360 -458 -8407 or I can
be email at a c ci. elm.wa.us. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincere) ,
