The Board of Health of the Town of Yarmouth hereby advises all owners of poultry and/or swine being housed within the Town of Yarmouth that a poultry and/or swine license is required. To obtain a license, all owners must first file an application with the Health Department.

The Board of Health may grant variances from the poultry and/or swine regulations, provided that the variance is requested prior to March 21, 1980, and that the following guidelines can be met: if said poultry and/or swine have been housed on the property in question for a period of not less than one year with the implicit acceptance of any abutting neighbors of said property and the construction and upkeep of the housing and property thereon are maintained in a sanitary condition without endangering the public health in any way, said poultry and/or swine housing, meeting all of the above requirements, may then continue on the following basis:
A. 
To be continued only for the same number of poultry as is existing and/or determined by the Board of Health.
B. 
To be continued only for the present owners of the property in question.
C. 
To be continued only if no valid complaints substantiated by the Board of Health as a public health hazard and/or nuisance are registered.
If said premises are found to be in violation of any of the above criteria, the Board of Health will take immediate action to have the poultry and/or swine removed from the property under § 196-18, Contents and service of orders, and § 196-38, Contents and service of orders, of this chapter.
