alloWing chickens
In response to residents' requests, Beachwood City
Council is considering revisions to our ordinance and
restrictions allowing residents to have chickens. The
proposed legislation entitled "Keeping of Fowl" would
allow residents who meet certain requirements to have
up to four chickens (excluding roosters). The birds would have to be housed at all times in
a structure no larger than four feet by four feet and enclosed on all sides and on top. That
structure is to be located not less than 20 feet from rear or side yard boundaries. The proposed
legislation puts the structure in the rear of the house only. Additional revisions to the
proposed legislation are being considered following a December 7 public hearing on the issue.
Council has requested some language changes and is also considering an amendment
requiring a permit be obtained by anyone wanting to have chickens. Beachwood City Council is
scheduled to further consider the legislation when it meets January 19, 2016.
Residents with questions or comments should contact Beachwood City Council and/or the
Mayor's Office. For contact information, go to

did you knoW?
Neighbors need neighbors. Some
Beachwood residents could use a hand
from time to time to assist with simple
chores such as taking out the rubbish.
Icy winter conditions make taking out
the rubbish a challenge for seniors.
If you want to lend a hand,
please forward your address and phone
number to the Community Services
Department by calling 216.292.1970.
attention pedestrains
We strongly recommend reflective gear to be
worn by ALL PEDESTRIANS when walking or
running before dawn and after dusk. Safety is
our number one concern. Please be cautious.
don't croWd the ploW
Give snow plow operators space to work.
A fully loaded snow plow vehicle can weigh
between 2040 tons and cannot easily
stop. In a contest between a snow plow and
other vehicle, the snow plow will be the clear
winner. When driving behind a snow plow
stay behind at least 100 ft.
snoW ordinance
Beachwood Codified Ordinances
states when snow falls over a 24-hour
period to a depth of 2" or more, an
emergency is declared and parking may
be prohibited on all City streets. We will
make a reasonable attempt to notify the
public by tweeting and using local press.
Vehicle owners are responsible to comply
with the emergency parking regulations.
Vehicles parked in violation may be towed at the owners' expense.
gearing up for cold and snoW
We have been truly blessed with mild weather but when the snow hits us,
Beachwood is prepared. We take great pride in the high quality work by
our Service Department. Our salt supply is stocked. We want to make
sure you are too.
·
Ensure you've performed routine maintenance on your vehicle.
·
Wear warm clothing, including hats and gloves, which will protect you from the cold.
·
Slow down. Ice can be unpredictable but more time to react will certainly help.
