AR-News: (US PA) Lynn Twp. considers horse farm laws

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

Officials are considering a proposal that would require township permits for 
new horse farms, said Township Administrator Kenneth Bleiler. Lynn is home to 
about a dozen horse farms, but more people are looking to bring them to the 
area, he said.

leiler said the Lynn supervisors got interested about a year ago when they 
realized that some horse farm owners had not applied for the special exception 
they needed. Farmers assumed that since the land they occupy is zoned 
agricultural, they didn't need a permit.

The proposed ordinance would require horse farms to have a permit even though 
they are in an agricultural zone.
