<br /> ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - APRIL 6,2005 8. <br /> red cedar fences are very attractive and with the regulations the way they currently were <br />. the fences would likely not get built due to the extra cost to the residents to have the <br /> contractor rcduce the height of pre-cut fence materials. The resident had providcd copies <br /> of fence regulations from several metro cities which allow fence hcights ranging from 6 <br /> feet 6 inches to 8 feet. <br /> He indicated the Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance allows fences in residential districts to be <br /> built in the front yard area up to a maximum of 3 feet in height and fenccs in rear yards to <br /> be built up to a maximum of 6 fcct. A Zoning Permit is rcquired prior to fence <br /> construction. Building regulations would kick-in for fences above a height of 6 fcet (due <br /> to wind load, etc.). If the Planning Commission indicates the fence regulations should be <br /> amended staff would schcdule a public hearing ft)r the May 4 Planning Commission <br /> meeting and also bring Zoning Ordinance amendment language to that meeting. <br /> Commissioner Bezdicek stated he did not believe this walTanted discussion. <br /> Commissioner Thompson agreed and noted they had a procedurc already set up and she <br /> believed the procedure should bc followed. <br /> Chair Sand agreed. <br /> The Commission agreed to follow the procedure already establishcd. <br />.
