Many Residential/Suburban communities are making room for the Urban Farming Movement across this country. I would like to see Revised Ordinances to allow for up to 6 hens to be kept on residential lots, by urban farmers in local municipalities; in particular, Peters Twp. It goes to the self-sustaining, healthier lifestyle and naturalist approach that more and more people have with knowing where their food comes from. Great pets, that are natural pest controllers. I was lucky to have been a part of this movement in the City of Pittsburgh with exciting & positive results. Life has moved me out to Washington County, and I was surprised to see that the old ordinances did NOT provide for me to have my chickens in a residential neighborhood here! There are currently conflicting ordinances on the books; with references to not allowing chickens in the Farm Ordinance unless you have 10+acres; but they are admitted in the Animal Ordinance as a Small pet that needs to be contained and clean...

In my neighborhood of North Charleroi, I walk every morning and evening with my family for exercise. On my walks I have to carry pepper spray and a baseball bat. Why? Because every day I am approached by at least one out of control or loose dog. Some are harmless, some are not. I should not have to carry pepper spray and especially a baseball bat when I walk with my infant daughter and TRAINED, CONTAINED, and CONTROLLED dog. I am constantly calling Animal Control (at least twice a week) but seeing no change in the irresponsible and neglectful ownership of the dogs in my neighborhood. I am a dog lover and not only do I worry for the safety of the loose dogs, but for the other trained, contained and controlled dogs who might be attacked, and obviously i'm concerned for anyone trying to enjoy the outdoors like myself who are at risk. I am at a loss on what to do! It breaks my heart and angers me that I cannot enjoy my neighborhood with my family. Thank You.

where route 136 & 4th street extension meet there is a lot next to the purple house that is full of trash & debris. There is also a trailer next door that is in bad shape. There is siding missing and looks to be partially demolished. This is not only unsightly it is a hazard. Carroll Twp needs to send out thier code enforcement officer to check into this.

I work near Chess Park in Monongahela and it would be nice if there was a cement picnic table there so on a nice day you could enjoy your lunch in the park.
