PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />The applicant is requesting an animal conditional use permit to retain her existing red- <br />tailed hawk. The approval of the animal use permit would allow one (1) hawk to be kept <br />in the rear yard of the property. The site plan below shows the location where the hawk <br />is kept. <br />SI"f Pt11tJ <br />~~ v- t <br />~~.. <br />The applicant is a licensed Class 1 falconry apprentice and has received all applicable <br />federal and state and agency licensing for keeping the hawk. The keeping of the hawk is <br />for sporting purposes in that training the bird provides the training of the apprentice <br />falconer. Keeping the red-tail hawk allows the applicant to progress in her expertise in <br />falconry. Additionally, State licensing requirements limit the number of hawks that can <br />be kept based on the licenses and license type that are held. In this case, the applicant is <br />limited to one hawk based on her level of falconry. The applicant has also received a <br />Resident Hunting License for the hawk; hunting is allowed only in designated locations. <br />These locations are open space areas well away from urban or suburban developments <br />which allow a clear visual line of site that can be maintained between the hawk and the <br />falconer. <br />The following page includes pictures ofred-tailed hawks and a picture of the applicant <br />with her hawk. <br />PAUP-4, Jennifer Hosterman /Hawk <br />Planning Commission <br />Page 3 of 15 <br />
