§ 103-71. Harboring of animals.

In all districts, the keeping of four or more dogs over six months of age, five or more cats or any number of horses, cattle, sheep, goats, rabbits, pigs or other animals, whether kept for commercial or domestic purposes or for sale or for hire, shall be prohibited except where such animals are contained within a suitable fenced enclosure not within 50 feet of any lot line. No setback shall be required along that portion of an owner's parcel adjacent to a public road. In addition, the owner of any parcel of land less than one acre in size upon which any number of horses or cattle are kept shall not be permitted to maintain a manure pile, but instead shall be required to store any manure in a suitable, enclosed container and to dispose of the contents thereof at least two times per calendar month. Animal hospitals, kennels and farms, as otherwise provided for in this chapter, shall be exempt from this provision.
