Although I don't think there is any merit to the rumor, there is a belief in some quarters the City Planning Commission will consider the addition of allowing chicken raising within the City limits on the 16th of this month.  This would be similar to an effort in Roland Park by a group named CHIRP, City Hens In Roland Park (KC Star, Nov 6, page A9).  If there is an active group like this in WL I am unaware (CHIWL?).

What is known about the Planning Commission meeting on the 16th is the desire of Mary and Jerry to rewrite the City Code for minimum lot size.  There has not been any interest shown by the Planning Commission on this subject, the 15,000 sq ft rule seems to be doing just fine.  For those owners of property below the minimum there is the opportunity to appeal to the Board of Zoning Adjustment.  So what's the deal?  I guess we will find out on the 16th.
