IK-APPEARANCE-510 pm  Stuart' Williams to discussordinance to allow fors service and emotional support Stuart Williams expressed the ADA allows trained dogs or trained miniature horses tol be designated as service animals after training, yet the current zoning laws for R-1 zone properties do not allow exceptions for miniature horses. HUD and the Fair Housing Act allow for many different types of assistant animals, including dogs, cats, hamsters, goats, and birds. These animals require reasonable accommodations similar to the above service animal accommodations but are not governed by the ADA. My family currently has dwarf goats as service animals for my 11-year-old daughter and myself. Theg goats help withl her stress and anxiety. We boughttwo goats at two days old, bottle-fed them and raised them over the last seven months, but the zoning board said we couldn'th have goats and chickens. Now wel have to geta a chicken permit, and we can only have sO many chickens. The cost ofr my daughter's emotional well-being is priceless, and removing her support animals from her and telling her she must find another one will maybe adversely affect her well-being and possibly cause her to regress. The goats have helped my daughter in many ways, including  animals.    MINUTES OF THE August 20, 2024 BOC MEETING CONTINUED  PAGE] 13  public speaking.
